Morgan Freeman falls asleep during live television interview





As well as being the consummate actor it seems that Morgan Freeman has the ability to catnap just about anywhere.



The 75-year-old actor may have been woken a bit too early as he joined co-star Michael Caine for promotional interviews for heist movie Now You See me.



However Freeman could not stay awake and was grabbing forty winks during a live interview with a US TV channel on Wednesday.

While Caine was his usual gregarious self Freeman nodded off a couple of times during the interview with Q13 FOX News This Morning crew while the pair were actually sat live on air.



The show's presenters Kaci Aitchison and Bill Wixey chatted to Freeman and actor Caine, 80, about the movie - but perhaps their line of questioning wasn't quite stimulating enough.

Awkwardly the presenters never actually tried to wake Freeman - and instead just continue the interview with Caine who seemed oblivious.
