Nope, it’s not a prosthetic. Morgan Freeman let his fingers breathe in what looked like a compression glove at the Thursday night premiere of his new movie ‘Invictus,’ in which he plays Nelson Mandela.

Freeman suffered nerve damage to his arm during a 2008 car accident. He was driving when the car containing him and suspected mistress Demaris Meyer flipped over several times, seriously injuring them both. Four days later he announced his divorce from wife Myrna.

Freeman said in January his hand was paralyzed, but it might be getting better as his gloves keep getting smaller. Below you can watch his recovery in reverse chronological order.

MSN Canada described his hand as “limp and swaddled in a tan glove” when he was promoting his documentary ‘Prom Night In Mississippi’ last month.
