I know he's 71 but 'serioulsy ill' seems a bit of an exaggeration by the media

The 71-year-old actor broke his shoulder and arm in the incident, but is expected to make a "good" recovery, Freeman's spokesman told showbiz website TMZ.com.
Anyway, hope he makes a speedy recovery

They were keen to mention that he was in an old car with a woman and not his wife, too...

Looks a mess! Telegraph are speculating that he may have fallen asleep at the wheel.

One of my favourite actors, I wish him a speedy recovery so he churn out loads more top films

Being a pampered multi-millionare tends to take the hard work out of life really.

Top actor though

Glad he is ok, I mean, who would play wise old back men and deliver a poignant monologue at the end of films if he had been killed ?

Bad accident and now also announced he is divorcing his wife .. I may be completely wrong, but I am guessing he really didn't want his accident with another woman as his passenger to be splashed all over the news at a time like this.

I hope he recovers soon
