Morgan Freeman is recovering well after being involved in a serious car accident on Monday.

His publicist released this statement today:

Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night [Monday] to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand. The surgery last night lasted four and a half hours. He’s visiting with family this morning. As of this morning he’s up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days.

Up and walking around!

Whammy!

How awesome was Mr. Freeman in The Dark Knight?

Answer:

As awesome as he is in everything else.

All of our best thoughts are with you and your family, and here’s to a full and speedy recovery.

(Speaking of The Dark Knight, my review is still in progress. I’ve been working on some extra stuff for the Brits and haven’t had time to work on it. When I do get it done, it’s going to be a big one.)
