NO NOT PRESIDENT GOD NOOOOOO

[cleolinda]

Morgan Freeman seriously hurt in car accident.

“They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle,” McFerrin said. “He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point.”

McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.

When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, “no freebies, no freebies,” McFerrin said.

I am in a ridiculous amount of love with your icon.

DO NOT WANT. D:

So when I read your excerpt I wondered why Bobby McFerrin was at the scene of the accident and was all "Don't tell him 'Don't Worry, Be Happy,' you bastard!"

But then I read the story. Oh, I hope he's okay.

I am soooo glad I'm not the only one who thought, "Bobby McFerrin, whuh?" *reverse gear, actually reads the durn thing, puts it in drive* "AH I GET IT NAO." XD

Oh my word...

No. Nononononooooo. This is not okay. Morgan Freeman has to be invincible.

Fingers crossed (and toes and eyes, too, just for good measure).

Uncool, universe, uncool.

And can I just say that Freeman has about 9,000 times the grace and class that I will ever have? Because if I was injured and some nitwit decided to take pictures of me with a cell phone, my first reaction would be to try and make them eat it, not joke around with them. Bless.

This.

:< I want to send get well soon cards. And bake cookies.

Morgan Freeman's like the grandad I wish I had! He's kind of cuddly and tough and all around awesome.

NO NOT PRESIDENT GOD MR GREENJEANS NOOOOOO

WTF am I saying? He's Easy Reader for chrissakes. Sorry, childhood was a long time ago...

[kvschwartz.livejournal.com]

I hope he's OK.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Oh jeez. At least it says he's in "serious" condition, not "critical," and he was conscious when they got him out. I have hope that he'll pull through. (First The Beef, then Freeman? What is this, Celeb Smash Car Trash month?)

[bigeyedrabbit.livejournal.com]

I -- yeah. What everyone else said: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

*in denial mode* It's not possible. He's President God. He's indestructible, dangit!

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

Nooooo. I do not like this news. :(

Hopefully he's going to make it through okay.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Awww, man. I mean... at least he was able to joke?

[trasnochadora.livejournal.com]

Holy shit! Godspeed, Morgan; 2008's seen enough talent lost. ):

Wow. I hope he's OK.

I'm beginning to get a bit sketched out by The Dark Knight. First Heath, then Christian Bale, now Morgan Freeman. It's like the movie's cursed.

[chez-amanda.livejournal.com]

You know, I heard one of the crew died during the filming. This is like the damn Poltergeist curse!

[bibsy.livejournal.com]

I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

[library-of-sex.livejournal.com]

Man, only Morgan mothafuckin' Freeman would be awesome enough to crack jokes while he's being rescued from a terrifying accident! I hope he'll be okay and will heal up quickly!

[bambbles.livejournal.com]

I thought that too. How amazing!

I heard somewhere that he was sitting up and talking, but others are still saying "serious condition"

But damn, Freeman is amazing!

[raynala.livejournal.com]

I'm very concerned for him. :( Talented people don't deserve this.

[honorh.livejournal.com]

I know! Not Morgan Freeman--he's totally my old-guy crush. And you can't say he's not a class act, especially with the "freebies" line. Who else could think of something like that when getting extracted from a car crash? Of course, who takes pictures of people getting extracted from a car crash? Shame!

[cici-chan.livejournal.com]

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS.

[greenwitch.livejournal.com]

I'm not okay with the fact that someone was trying to take A CELLPHONE PICTURE while the poor guy is being EXTRACTED from the wreck!!! WTF, PEOPLE. WTF.

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

Yikes! I hope he's all right. :(

I saw this on Yahoo! and nearly had a heart attack.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Alex Cross Lucius Fox God Morgan.

Comments I have heard elsewhere on the interwebs (mostly 4chan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan)):

"This new Batmobile proto-type needs some work!"
"There will be SO many penguins at his funeral."
"Morgan Freeman was lucky. His driver wasn't."
"Was he driving an elderly white woman around?"
"Can't he use his 'magic negro' powers to heal himself?"

...too soon?

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

THOSE LAST TWO. XD
