The producers of CLINT EASTWOOD's new movie starring MORGAN FREEMAN have hired a private doctor to remain on-set at all times to look after the veteran stars, according to a new report.
Freeman, 71, who plays Nelson Mandela in upcoming drama The Human Factor, is allegedly being monitored carefully by the medic, following a serious car crash in August (08) that left him with a broken arm and shoulder and a paralysed hand.
And movie bosses also want to make sure Eastwood, 78, is looked after during filming.
A source tells the New York Daily News, "There's a huge budget for the film at stake. These guys are getting up there in age. Sure they had physicals before leaving - everyone has to. But (the private doctor) was just an agreed upon decision on all sides of the table."
