Morgan Freeman enjoyed a rare night out on Sunday, Nov. 24, as he stepped out for dinner with loved ones in Los Angeles. The 87-year-old actor was photographed outside Giorgio Baldi, a popular Italian restaurant in Santa Monica favored by celebrities.

Freeman kept it casual in a checkered button-up shirt, dark slacks, and a baseball cap. He also wore a cream-colored compression glove, which he has previously mentioned wearing due to nerve damage from a 2008 car accident. In a 2012 interview with Esquire, Freeman explained the discomfort caused by fibromyalgia, describing the pain as "excruciating" up and down his arm.
