Morgan Freeman gives reason for snoozing during interview

Ever catch yourself yawning during a meeting? You might feel like trying to hide it. You wouldn’t want people to think they were boring you! During a television interview, yawning would be even more awkward. And falling asleep would simply be out of the question.

But not if you’re Morgan Freeman. The famed movie star took a cat nap during an interview meant to promote his new movie, “Now You See Me.”

Oh, yes we do, Morgan Freeman. We see you sleeping on the job! See video below.

Freeman later responded to the media’s ribbing of his catnap on Facebook. He wrote, “I wasn’t actually sleeping. I’m a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page.”

Touché, Morgan Freeman. Touché.
