Morgan Freeman rocks those gold earrings for more than drip—he’s got an old-school sailor’s backup plan. If he kicks the bucket far from home, the bling’s enough to cover his own funeral. Centuries ago, sailors wore hoops for the same reason: if they died at sea, the earring paid for a proper send-off. Freeman, a lifelong sailing buff, lives by the motto “stay ready,” because life’s as unpredictable as the tide. #MorganFreeman #FunFact #GoldPrices
