Freeman wore a plaid button-down shirt, dark pants and a baseball cap as he visited celebrity-favorite Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi. The photographers caught him in front of the restaurant in Santa Monica, California. The Oscar-winning actor also wore a pair of cream-colored compression gloves, which he uses because of nerve damage he suffered in a 2008 car accident.
