The 75-year-old actor was meant to be promoting his new movie ‘Now
You See Me’ but his busy schedule has clearly taken its toll after he
was spotted dozing off on air during a talk with US television show, FOX
affiliate Q13, on Wednesday.
The show hosts Kaci Aitchinson and Bill Wixey were firing questions
at the ‘The Olympus Has Fallen’ star and actor, Sir Michael Caine about
their current film when Morgan began to catnap on camera, but instead of
waking the movie star, they just continued to interview Michael, who
was oblivious to the awkward situation.
At one point, Morgan appeared to slump into a deep sleep before
shaking himself awake, blinking a few times and attempting to follow the
discussion.
Speaking after the footage went viral, Morgan jokingly said: “I
wasn’t actually sleeping. I’m a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was
merely updating my Facebook page!”
Bill and Kaci were quick to make a joke out of the stars’ brief sleep
on air and took to Twitter almost immediately to share the funny news
with fans.
Kaci tweeted: “Morgan Freeman just fell asleep to the sound of our soothing voices.”
