Morgan Freeman says he'll take a role with a weak script if the pay is right

Veteran actor Morgan Freeman, who is approaching his 90th birthday, told reporters that he will accept film roles even when the script is mediocre, provided the compensation is sufficient. He explained that “if they’re going to pay you enough, then you overlook some of the glitches in the script,” and added that he has no intention of retiring, saying he will keep working as long as offers come his way. Freeman referenced his recent work in the “Now You See Me” series and his long‑standing role as Lucius Fox in the Dark Knight films, emphasizing that financial terms outweigh artistic concerns for him at this stage of his career.
