Morgan Freeman, 87, revealed he needed a pacemaker after passing out while driving a Nissan in a 2008 car crash. The accident resulted in a rollover, and Freeman suffered a severe arm injury that required a plate and caused nerve damage. Doctors diagnosed Freeman with atrial fibrillation, which led to his loss of consciousness. He described the crash as very serious but noted he was relatively unscathed compared to the car's damage. Freeman also shared that the nerve damage from his arm injury forced him to give up sailing, calling the decision "heartbreaking." He recounted a recent experience where he struggled to dock his boat, marking a significant change in his lifestyle.
