Join us in wishing him a happy, happy birthday and check out a sort of Young Freeman below. Today, we’d like to celebrate the Lean On Me icon, who literally played God in Bruce Almighty.

His versatility should come as no surprise since he’s been working in the industry since the early ’60 - as a dancer in the 1964 World’s Fair, as a member of the Opera Ring musical theatre group in San Francisco, on Broadway, off-Broadway, in films like The Pawnbroker, and more. At the time Deena Freeman became a mother herself. Morgan Freeman also adopted Bradshaw’s daughter, Deena. The marriage of 12-years produced one child, daughter Morgana Freeman, they eventually divorced in 1979.

Freeman also posted a few pictures of himself in high school, college, and in the Air Force.

The running joke is: Morgan Freeman was born old.
