Morgan Freeman, who played Nelson Mandela in the movie Invictus, must have done one heck of a job because a billboard in India confused him for the anti-apartheid fighter.
NDTV.com reports that a billboard honoring Mandela mistakenly featured a picture of Morgan Freeman with other famous figures like Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi. The message on the billboard read, “We should be proud that we were part of an era when they lived.”
The billboard was paid for by a local cloth merchant identified only as “Chandrashekhar”. The billboard will be corrected and blamed the designer for the mistake. When in doubt blame the designer. Just like Mandela taught us.
This isn’t the first time people have confused the two men. Ever since Mandela died on December 5th, people on Facebook and Twitter have been posting pictures of Morgan Freeman believing that he’s actually Nelson Mandela.
