Original caption
These two images of Morgan Freeman show the actor almost 30 years apart, with the first photo taken circa 1990 and the second all the way back in 2017. The Hollywood legend, now 89, has barely changed in the years since, with fans crediting his signature grey beard, warm smile and steady screen presence. Freeman continued working consistently in the years that followed, picking up roles across film and television while remaining one of Hollywood's most recognizable voices. #morganfreeman #celebrity #actor
