Morgan Freeman Health Fears

Morgan Freeman will be monitored round-the-clock by a private doctor on his new movie.

Producers on 'The Human Factor' are concerned about the health of the 71-year-old actor, who plays Nelson Mandela in the film, and director Clint Eastwood, 78, and have flown a private doctor out to the African set to care for the ageing stars.

A source told: "Morgan is under special scrutiny because of his near fatal car accident back in August. There's a huge budget for the film at stake. These guys are getting up there in age.

Sure, they had physicals before leaving, everyone has to. But the private doctor was just an agreed upon decision on all sides of the table".

Clint recently acknowledged he is getting old, but says his passion for films keeps him young at heart.

He said: "I like taking it easy, I like golf and I like Budweiser. All that stuff is fine, but the main thing is I still like working, I think working keeps you young, I think it keeps your mind active. It's like exercising your body - exercising your brain. Both of them are synonymous".

Morgan Freeman Was Drunk

Demaris Meyer is suing the ‘Driving Miss Daisy' actor for negligence following the crash on August 3 last year, and has strenuously denied claims she was his mistress.

In legal papers, it states she is demanding compensation greater than $75,000. The lawsuit, filed in Mississippi, states Freeman was drinking throughout the course of the dinner they had together on the night of the accident.

Documents also claim Meyer later met Freeman at a friend's house where he had "at least one more drink". It is alleged Freeman invited her back to his property, telling Meyer she could stay in her own house, referring to the three homes situated on his estate.

Meyer, 48, added yesterday: "I have been labelled as the other woman and have been accused of causing the break-up of Mr. Freeman's marriage. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am not 'Miss Daisy' as I have been referred to in the press. I was not and never have been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital break-up."

Freeman and his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee, announced they were divorcing days after the crash. The couple had been separated since 2007.

The car accident occurred during Freeman's 40 mile drive between his friend Bill Luckett's house and his own property. The car was flipped over in the accident and Meyer says she suffered life-changing injuries.
