You only live once, but there are many ways you can live it.

You only live once, but there are many ways you can live it.

For the average person, that might not be a lot of choice, but for an actor, it's a lot of work.

Live in a play, die in a play, play outside the play, the mask peel off to present to the audience, is a complete life.

Enlisted in the Air Force, went to prison, worked as a driver, robbed banks, boxed, entered politics, had a presidential addiction, and made a cameo as God.

These experiences are mixed together to create the incredible Morgan Freeman life above.

The name seems to be associated with the Morgan Foundation, one of the ten largest conglomerates in the United States, but in fact it is not even as close as LAB Jun's relationship with his own neighbor.

And it's hard to imagine that the character still active on screen was born in 1937, when the world was in the shadow of the Second World War.

Morgan Freeman came from an ordinary family with no special acting experience. He even moved frequently during his childhood due to family factors. He made his acting debut at the age of eight.

Took a leading role in a school play. But this performance made young Morgan Freeman love acting.

At the age of 12, he won the national drama competition and performed in a radio play in Nashville. At 18, he won a partial drama scholarship to Jackson State University for acting, but refused to attend because of the film's influence and wanted to join the Air Force.

It wasn't until he enlisted in the Army that he realized he had made a mistake. After leaving the army, he moved to Los Angeles to work in acting.

"My fantasies were all based on cinematic romance, so I chose to leave the army."

-- Morgan Freeman

This time, though, he jumped at the chance, studying acting in Los Angeles and dancing in San Francisco, starting with the Broadway musical I Love Matchmaker and finding fame in Harrow Dolly in just a year.

Then he moved on to television. Within six years, he had landed a role as a children's TV host in the US and made his first film, Who Says I Can't Drive a Rainbow?

"It's not playing a role that's hard, it's getting a role." At that time, Morgan Freeman never missed a chance, and this will be a solid foundation for his later acting career.

Since then, Morgan Freeman has almost maintained the speed of one film a year, and began to become popular in the film circle rapidly. At the same time, with the increase of age, Morgan Freeman has also become more and more extensive, and caused the support of many fans with his changeable life. And was ranked 31st on Empire Magazine's "100 Actors of the Century" list.

He was also asked why he chose to make movies at his age, and his answer was succinct.

"Acting is what I do best and what I love most, and I will do it for as long as it takes."

In his eyes, age is never a challenge to an actor, but the scene, how to play the role, this is the biggest challenge for an actor.

But many people think he is not the protagonist, can only be counted as a supporting role, and even put on a strong personal style. But he didn't care, calling himself the reddest "green leaf" in Hollywood.

This isn't a joke, either. Morgan Freeman's exposure time in all his films is a bit different, but that doesn't hinder his expertise in any way.

His vision of film selection can be seen in his mastery of the works, almost all the works he acted in have received high reviews, among which the Shawshank Redemption has been at the top of the list of must-see movies for years.

Audiences enjoy the touch beyond the movie itself, and insist on finding the strength to survive in adversity and guide people in life.

There's another story about Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman actually bears some physical resemblance to Annan, but he has often been confused with Nelson Mandela after playing Mandela in Invictus. Even when Mandela died, some people wrote a picture of Freeman as a tribute, and the media reported his death...

Try to spot Morgan Freeman in the picture below.

It has to be said that this is not a simple acting image, but really become a new cognition and a new role in other people's mind.

Of course, in addition to living life in the movie, the old man's spare time life is particularly interesting.

Because the narrator was chosen to narrate the documentary series Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

He passed his pilot's certificate at the age of 65 and owns three private jets.

Even though the negative news was once circulating in the street, he was not in a hurry, allowing time to pass and the truth emerged naturally.

There is an old saying: a late bloomer. Morgan Freeman is a perfect fit.

In the past 50 years, he began to enter the real acting career. He played more supporting roles and was nominated several times, and finally won the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 77th Academy Award, the American Film Academy Life Achievement Award, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, and was known as one of the best actors in the United States.

He once said of his acting career: "It took me 30 years to go from nothing to where I am tonight. Ten years to get in the game, ten years to find opportunities, ten years to prove themselves. If you're willing to put in the effort while you wait, the wait will be worth it."

Instead of saying how wonderful his life was in prison, as a driver, as a pimp, as a detective, as a soldier, as a Congressman, as a man who created the world, learn to make your own life as wonderful as his.

After all, wine is enriched by waiting, and he didn't know he was going to experience this before he waited, did he?
