The Dark Night alum has been putting on the glove for 10 years, but why? Well, the answer proportionally does with a 2008 car accident, the Mississippi accident in August 2008 which left Freeman with his left hand paralyzed.

I suffered nerve damage and it hasn't gotten better. I can't move it,

Freeman told PEOPLE back in 2008,

If you don't move your hand, it will swell up. Do you know you move your hand about a million times a day?

For years the veteran actor continues to be in pain from fibromyalgia, a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, and he wears the glove to keep the systematic blood flow in his hand.
