Tracy Morgan will never be normal

Tracy Morgan doesn't think he'll ever be ''normal'' following a horrific car accident in June 2014.

The 47-year-old comedian - who was left with a traumatic brain injury and a broken leg after a road accident in New Jersey in June 2014 - admits the horrifying incident has changed his life forever. He said: ''You're never going to be normal after you go through something like that.

''You don't die for a few weeks and then come back to normal, trust me. Something's going to be missing, something's going to be gained--you just got to live your life after that. ''But after surviving something like that, I'm probably never going to feel normal.''

The 'Saturday Night Live' star claimed he ''went to the other side'' and spoke to God after the accident, but was told it wasn't his time to die. He added to Complex magazine: ''I went to the other side. This is not something I'm making up. Do you know what God said to me? He said, 'Your room ain't ready. I still got something for you to do.'

And here I am, doing an interview with you.'' Tracy - who has two-year-old daughter Maven with wife Megan Woolover - has now learned not to make plans for the future but live every day to the max.

Asked about his plans for the future, he explained: ''I try not to do that. Just living my life, man. When the sun's up, I try to get it on and poppin'. When the sun is up, I try to make it happen. That's what I'm doing, whatever it is! I'm going to do it until I'm satisfied.''
