“As for politics today, I supported Hillary in the election, and now it feels like we are jumping off a cliff. We just have to find out how we land,” Freeman said of the current political climate.
“I’m not scared, though. I’m holding out hope that Donald Trump has to be a good president. He can’t not be. What I see is a guy who will not lose.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Freeman reflected on his life and spoke about how he interacts with his large family.
“We’re not a get-together-on-Thanksgiving kinda family. My daughters fight like cats. I say, ‘You people want to be together, fine. Not here.’ I think when someone in a family is famous, the downside is everybody expects things of you. But you have to make things happen on your own,” Freeman said.
“When my son was younger, he said he wanted to be an actor and that I should introduce him to people. I said, ‘You should change your name. Don’t use Freeman.’ He didn’t listen to me.”
