Morgan Freeman Just Altered His 124-Acre Ranch For This Strange New ‘Hobby’

How do you imagine movie stars spend their free time? Well, besides acting, many have a wide array of interests, including some hobbies you wouldn't expect. Take Morgan Freeman, for example. He was already living large in his sprawling Southern ranch, but after reading a disheartening news story, he was moved to strive for something more. Within days, heavy-duty construction equipment transformed his home into one of the sweetest sights you can imagine...

Hollywood Leading Man

From casual movie fans to diehard film buffs, everybody knows Morgan Freeman. No matter if he appears as a lifer in The Shawshank Redemption or something holier than thou in Bruce Almighty, he's a kind of talent that elevates any story — includes his own!

Award Winning Actor

Plenty of performers in Hollywood only care about big box office hauls and awards season. Morgan is certainly proud of his Academy Award — that's for his supporting role in Million Dollar Baby — but that's not the only gold he cares about.

Turning Over A New Leaf

In 2014, the megastar went on The Tonight Show and spoke about a bold new career move. It wouldn't affect his acting work, sure, but this particular calling was unheard of among the showbiz elite.

One Major Issue

Morgan explained that when he wasn't busy on set, he liked to spend most of his time on his Mississippi ranch. There, he could get away from the city noise and simply enjoy nature. However, he soon learned about a major issue.
