Morgan Freeman reveals his biggest concern about turning 90

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.
âWill I still be playing golf? Thatâs the question,â Freeman responded.
The âBruce Almightyâ star shared that he lives on a golf course and is still âpretty good at golf.â
âI mean, for a hack, Iâm pretty good,â Freeman gushed. âItâs walking, stooping, bending, swinging, cussing. Itâs a great sport for older adults. Itâs better than bocce ball.â
While he does use a cart to get around the course, he still receives a good amount of exercise while playing.
âIâve been given dispensation to take the cart into places where normally they would stop the cart. Age makes a difference,â Freeman explained. âSo I can get pretty close to the greens with the cart, but you still have to do a bit of walking. Iâve 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.â
For Freeman, his days consist of getting out on the green.
âMost days when itâs sunny, thatâs what I think: âAre we going to be able to golf today?ââ he told the outlet.
Freeman also addressed his retirement from acting, making it clear he isnât stopping any time soon.
âThere is a saying about old age, âKeep moving,â and what Clint Eastwood says: âDonât let the old man in,ââ the Oscar winner said. âThe 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.â
Freeman recently reprised his role as magician Thaddeus Bradley in this yearâs âNow You See Me: Now You Donât.â
The third installment of the franchise also stars Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson.
âYouâre more comfortable learning your lines,â Freeman expressed about making the third movie. âYouâre more comfortably ensconced in the role, youâre more comfortable interacting with the same actors that you were interacting with before. You know what to expect. It makes it easy.â
Freeman also opened up about how he never let winning an Oscar in 2005 for âMillion Dollar Babyâ go to his head.
âIt didnât change me one whit. I kind of knew early on that I would eventually get one. It didnât change me. I hope it didnât change me,â the Hollywood legend explained.
âBecause the only change you can expect after youâve gotten an Oscar is maybe your price goes up a tiny bit and your job prospects go up a bit. Thatâs the one thing or two things I guess you could look forward to. Other than that, donât let your ego get the best of you.â
A day before his interview, the actor echoed his sentiments about staying in the spotlight.
âIâm a little POâd, you know,â Freeman told The Guardian. âIâm like any other actor: donât mimic me with falseness. I donât appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if youâre gonna do it without me, youâre robbing me.â
âSometimes the idea of retirement would float past me,â he continued. âBut as soon as my agent says thereâs a job or somebody wants you or theyâve made an offer, the whole thing just boils back into where it was yesterday: how much youâre going to pay, where weâre gonna be?â
