You wouldn’t expect Morgan Freeman, the Academy Award-winning octogenarian, to give two hoots about the latest celebrity romance to get all the tabloids in a tizz. And you’d be right. When asked for his opinion about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s burgeoning relationship on “CBS Mornings” in October 2023, the “Million Dollar Baby” star essentially shrugged his shoulders.
To be fair, interviewer Gayle King did try to at least link Traylor to something Freeman did care about, albeit slightly tenuously. “You’re a big Kansas City Chiefs fan, is that true?” she asked. And after the actor answered in the affirmative, she added, “So how are you feeling about Taylor and Travis? Is it keeping you up at night? Are you in favor?” Kelce is, of course, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the NFL franchise — but Freeman’s interest in the man doesn’t extend to his love life. After some more coaxing from co-hosts Vladimir Duthiers and Nate Burleson, the Hollywood veteran simply said with a slight laugh, “I don’t … think about them … at all.”

Freeman then opened up a little more, but only to further clarify that it’s just the matters on the field that he cared about. “Yeah, are you winning? Great, OK. Now, it’s great to watch [Patrick Mahomes] run. He’s got a rifle for an arm, so that’s all good. So that’s what I’m interested in.”
