The number 8647 is back in the news again, and this time it’s because filmmaker Morgan J. Freeman posted it on X and afterwards allegedly got a courtesy visit from the FBI, who came to his home with printouts of his post and refused to show him their badge numbers to ask him about Donald Trump.
Morgan J. Freeman, not to be confused with seasoned Academy Award–winning actor Morgan Freeman, made his name in the late 1990s by giving Kate Hudson her film debut in Desert Blue. Since then, Freeman has focused more on directing TV shows and reality TV — and his other passion has been to make his voice heard by critiquing Trump’s position on Medicare and his multiple callous remarks he’s made since he ascended back to power.
