If there’s one actor who can dish out divine advice, it’s Morgan Freeman. After all, the Hollywood legend has played God himself—twice. But what’s his secret to playing the ultimate omnipotent being? In true Freeman fashion, he keeps it refreshingly practical. Whether you’re stepping into the shoes of God or another legendary figure, Freeman has a simple yet profound tip.
His wise, down-to-earth approach is something only the voice of God could deliver. Curious to hear more? Well, let Freeman’s wisdom guide you to Hollywood’s heavenly heights.
Morgan Freeman’s Divine Acting Tip: Stick to the Script
“Divine is not that hard to play,”saysMorgan Freeman, and honestly, who’s going to argue with God? The iconic actor, known for his calm authority and that golden voice, has portrayed the Almighty not once, but twice—Bruce AlmightyandEvan Almighty.
In a career as illustrious as Freeman’s, you learn a few things. Playing God? Piece of cake. As theShawshank Redemptionstar sees it, there’s no need for excessive method acting. So, when younger actors come knocking for advice on how to handle such a heavenly role,Freeman keeps it simple:
Divine is not that hard to play, if you want to know the truth of the matter. People say ‘Well you’ve played God – how did you prepare for that?’ Go to church, maybe? No. Read the freaking script, that’s how you prepare.
This no-nonsense approach is classic Freeman. After all, the Oscar-winner has never actually been a dolphin rehabilitator (Dolphin Tale), a boxing gym trainer (Million Dollar Baby), or, you know, God. Yet, he brings all those roles to life by focusing on the words in the screenplay, rather than overthinking the part. Freeman’s message to actors? Ditch the method mumbo jumbo and do the job you’re hired for.
Freeman shared this divine wisdom with NDTV while promoting his 2016 filmBen-Hur, a fresh take on the 1959 epic. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the remake stars Jack Huston and Toby Kebbell, with Freeman lending his gravitas to the film. But whether it’s God or a chariot race, his advice holds firm:“Stick to the script, dummy.”
Freeman’s Gold Hoops: A Blend of Nautical Tradition and Hollywood Style
Morgan Freeman’s iconic gold hoop earrings have a story that’s both quirky and practical. The 87-year-old Hollywood legend, known for his deep voice and timeless roles, revealed that his earrings aren’t just for show—they’re a personal insurance policy. Inspired by sailors and pirates who wore gold hoops to cover funeral costs if they died far from home,Freeman’s hoops serve the same purpose, ensuring he’ll have a dignified exit, no matter where life takes him.
But there’s also a dash of Hollywood flair. Freeman borrowed the look fromThe Crimson Pirate, a 1952 flick starring Burt Lancaster.“I thought that was sexy,”he admitted. And just like that, these golden hoops became part of his signature style—practical, yet undeniably cool.
