We have to admit he is a terrific actor however how many are going to change their opinion after this:

He's an ok actor. Assuming that he did, in fact cheat on his wife, he is just like any other person who had/has an affair---wrong in their actions.

Wrong is wrong on some things. There is no justification for cheating. You either stick to the vows you took (implied or actually spoke) or you get out before creating another intimate relationship.

Some things, like cheating or spousal abuse or child abuse, can not be justified. Regardless of whether you or I know the "situation"---either you roger up to your responsibilities, or you don't.

We can agree to disagree.. I still think it is specualtion. We have NO IDEA what was going on in the marital home..

He is a very good actor and how he lives his life is none of my business. This is old news and has been around for months if not longer. It does not take away from his talent however.

I don't believe everything I hear or read.
He has starred in a lot of movies I enjoyed.

I would not consider relatives holding hands and being close an affair. In my opininon that is just crazy.Some relatives are very close in nature.Hell, my parents must both be having affairs then,because we still hug and even kiss on the lips.

DEDLAST,
I am not saying he is a bad person NOT JUDGING HIM... I am just wondering how many people will hate him now.

Just because someone does something I don't agree with doesn't make me "hate" them--especially when they are people I don't even know personally.

My best friend in the entire world had an affair w/ a married man. I love her dearly, but I told her 1) she was wrong to be sleeping w/ a married man, 2) I didn't want to hear anything else about it.
It was a subject that we didn't discuss because she knew my position and my feelings. Eventually--he cheated on my best friend, and she moved on. I didn't hate her. I don't hate her. In fact I love her like a sister...I was just disappointed in her decision and told her that.

Yep, that is how I feel about other issues on here....

I love what you wrote here. I wonder why it doesn't apply to other issues as well....

Kathy,
I think that in theory we all want the same things in life--we just differ in how best to go about those things.

Also, a lot of issues that I have had with you and/or your postings is the perceived "tone" of what you are saying. I try really hard to look past HOW you're saying something to get to the WHAT you are saying--sometimes I fail, and I engage in arguing with you. And arguing doesn't really accomplish anything--except getting everyone all worked up.

FWIW--I don't think you are a bad person, just misguided(just kidding). I really don't think you're bad. I do think that we are all guilty of getting defensive and arguing our position--even when we may be wrong.

I also personally agree that Morgan Freeman is a amazing and wonderfully talented actor of our times. As far as the story behind the cheating I too do not read everything I read , however if is true I do not agree with it at all, however like I have always said life is all about choices and only the person making the choice has to live in his or her shoes. Peace. Catherine

As long as his Cheating doesn't effect his acting. It doesn't effect me.

Doesnt matter to me really. I'd be upset with him if he was a close friend of mine but I've never met him. if his wife knew and didnt approve she should have left him along time ago. and i agree with Susie, it doesnt effect his acting either.

Argh, I just ended up watching a bunch of Electric Company videos on YouTube. Getting involved with someone that much younger seems sort of creepy to me, but I don't think it's any of my business.

I honestly do not care about celebrity's personal lives. Morgan Freeman is still in my "I'll watch anything he is in" category, right up there with Tom Hanks.

He is a great actor and entertains me. Really, that's all I care about when watching a movie/TV.

I don't know about the whole justification thing. I mentioned in the thread about affairs that I think sometimes the *vows* are looked at very differently by some people. Often...being unfaithful seems to be the only part of the marriage vows that anyone seems interested in. Many of us are guilty of breaking some of the other vows we say when we get married, yet the one that always seems to get people bent out of shape is the vow made about being faithful.

I used to like him as an actor; then, about a year ago, something I read in an interview, or maybe it was a video taped interview, something about him turned me off----he had one HELL OF AN EGO and from that point on, I started to like him less and less as a person. I can't remember if he was a drunk, or a wifebeater, but it was something bad. Now I read his wants to marry his granddaughter, who is under 30? WTF? Talk about EGO!!!!!!

I like his acting and do not know him personally so can't say if I like him or not. I may not agree with what he has done but his business is HIS business and he has to answer to it NOT us. People may not approve of the way I live my life either--thank goodness I am not in public eye.
