Playing golf at 90 is on the bucket list.
Morgan Freeman, who turned 88 in June, revealed one of his biggest concerns about turning 90 in a few years.
While talking to AARP The Magazine earlier this month, the reporter asked the actor his thoughts about approaching the milestone.
“Will I still be playing golf? That’s the question,” Freeman responded.
The “Bruce Almighty” star shared that he lives on a golf course and is still “pretty good at golf.”
“I mean, for a hack, I’m pretty good,” Freeman gushed. “It’s walking, stooping, bending, swinging, cussing. It’s a great sport for older adults. It’s better than bocce ball.”
While he does use a cart to get around the course, he still receives a good amount of exercise while playing.
“I’ve been given dispensation to take the cart into places where normally they would stop the cart. Age makes a difference,” Freeman explained. “So I can get pretty close to the greens with the cart, but you still have to do a bit of walking. I’ve got, everybody probably noticed by now, my right foot is kind of bum. It gives me a slight limp because of the ankle. So I can only walk so much before I wear it out.”
For Freeman, his days consist of getting out on the green.
“Most days when it’s sunny, that’s what I think: ‘Are we going to be able to golf today?’” he told the outlet.
Freeman also addressed his retirement from acting, making it clear he isn’t stopping any time soon.
“There is a saying about old age, ‘Keep moving,’ and what Clint Eastwood says: ‘Don’t let the old man in,’” the Oscar winner said. “The way to do that is to keep getting up in the morning, keep working out in the gym, keep taking your vitamins, keep taking your prescribed meds, and keep moving. Keep moving. That is the secret to it all.”
Freeman recently reprised his role as magician Thaddeus Bradley in this year’s “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.”
The third installment of the franchise also stars Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson.
“You’re more comfortable learning your lines,” Freeman expressed about making the third movie. “You’re more comfortably ensconced in the role, you’re more comfortable interacting with the same actors that you were interacting with before. You know what to expect. It makes it easy.”
Freeman also opened up about how he never let winning an Oscar in 2005 for “Million Dollar Baby” go to his head.
“It didn’t change me one whit. I kind of knew early on that I would eventually get one. It didn’t change me. I hope it didn’t change me,” the Hollywood legend explained.
“Because the only change you can expect after you’ve gotten an Oscar is maybe your price goes up a tiny bit and your job prospects go up a bit. That’s the one thing or two things I guess you could look forward to. Other than that, don’t let your ego get the best of you.”
A day before his interview, the actor echoed his sentiments about staying in the spotlight.
“I’m a little PO’d, you know,” Freeman told The Guardian. “I’m like any other actor: don’t mimic me with falseness. I don’t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you’re gonna do it without me, you’re robbing me.”
“Sometimes the idea of retirement would float past me,” he continued. “But as soon as my agent says there’s a job or somebody wants you or they’ve made an offer, the whole thing just boils back into where it was yesterday: how much you’re going to pay, where we’re gonna be?”
