Morgan Freeman steps out for dinner in a rare LA appearance: photo

Morgan Freeman enjoys a night out!

The 87-year-old actor made a rare appearance on Sunday, November 24, when he stepped out for dinner with loved ones in Los Angeles.

Freeman wore a plaid button-up shirt, dark pants and a baseball cap when he was spotted outside the famed Italian eatery Giorgio Baldi in the Santa Monica neighborhood.

The Academy Award winner also wore a cream-colored compression glove, which he used openly as a result of nerve damage he suffered in a 2008 car accident.

“It’s the fibromyalgia,” Freeman said Esquire during an interview published in July 2012. “Up and down the arm. That’s where it gets so bad. Unbearable.”
