Morgan Freeman knows the meaning of a power nap -- Video

23 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Is cinema legend Morgan Freeman falling asleep during this on-air interview while his Now You See Me costar Michael Caine answers a question? We know Morgan Freeman is very intelligent and contemplative, so he could just be closing his eyes to think. Except he kind of does that thing where you catch yourself after nodding off.

Watch the clip below and decide if he’s a power nap master or just a really serious thinker:

Now You See Me opens May 31.

Brad Pitt Shocks Fans at 'World War Z' Screening (Video)

23 May 2013 11:09 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Fans settling in for a screening of "World War Z" got a very exciting, non-zombie-related surprise: Brad Pitt. The movie's star popped in on the screening in Hoboken, NJ, and was met with applause and cheers from the crowd. Earlier in the day, Pitt attended another screening for the sci-fi zombie flick in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. The actor was sans fiancee Angelina Jolie, who just revealed she had a preventative double mastectomy, but was surrounded by his A-list friends at the Moma, according to People. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Bacon were reportedly on-hand, among others. But, according to People, Pitt was more concerned with his trip to Jersey than with impressing his famous pals: "They said we got to do a showing in the city and I said okay, but we can't do it without showing it to the people who we made the film for, »

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During Interview—Watch the Clip!

23 May 2013 10:58 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Did you hear the one about Morgan Freeman falling asleep during a TV interview? Well, it happened. And we've got the video to prove it! The 75-year-old Oscar winner couldn't help catching some spontaneous Z's during a live chat with Seattle's Q13 Fox News morning crew early Wednesday while his more sprightly 80-year-old costar Michael Caine hyped their new crime caper, Now You See Me. If you watch the clip, you'll see Freeman dozing off, not once but a couple of times as his fellow acting legend talked about all the neat magic tricks the movie's magician characters pull off without computer effects. A little ways into the chat, Morgan's head briefly slumps forward, but »

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During On-Air Interview

23 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

Being God is exhausting! During an interview with Fox affiliate Q13 in Seattle, to promote his new movie Now You See Me, Morgan Freeman appeared to be napping on-camera. This left costar Michael Caine to field the questions from anchors Kaci Aitchison and Bill Wixey about the crime thriller, which concerns a group of magicians who use their skills to rob banks. About halfway through the interview, Freeman shuts his eyes before clips from the movie are shown. When the camera returns to Freeman, his head is down and his eyes are shut, prompting the station to later note on its website, »

Morgan Freeman falls asleep during live TV interview - oops

23 May 2013 10:26 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

When actors have a new movie coming out, they typically do a myriad of interviews to promote it, which we would imagine gets pretty tiring.

So much so, in fact, that Morgan Freeman actually dozed off during his interview with Seattle's Q13 Fox affiliate. Watch the above video. While "Now You See Me" co-star Michael Caine talks about the movie, Freeman slowly falls asleep right next to him.

Freeman is 75 years old, we suppose. But still, maybe he should have some more coffee before he goes on TV in the future. Also, we kind of figured it would be the other way around -- Caine falling asleep while Freeman talks, because Freeman does have that soothing, soporific voice of his.

"Now You See Me," the magician-heist movie, opens nationwide May 31. »

Did Morgan Freeman Fall Asleep During Interview?

23 May 2013 8:17 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Looks like someone could use a jolt of caffeine.

During an early morning interview for new movie "Now You See Me," Morgan Freeman appeared to be a little sleepy. And by "a little sleepy," we mean enough that he may have nodded off several times.

In a clip of the sit-down with Seattle's Fox affiliate Kcpq, Freeman appears to fall asleep on camera while video-conferencing in from New York. Fortunately, co-star Michael Caine was there to bear the load.

Press tours can be tough with the hours of endless interviews, days of travel to different cities and jet lag, so we'll give Freeman the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he just needed to rest his eyes. »

Don’t Mind Morgan Freeman, He’s Just Taking a Quick Mid-Interview Nap

23 May 2013 8:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Remember in high school, when you'd stayed up too late perfecting your Aim status, and then morning rolled around, and you had math first period, and some old guy (no offense, Michael Caine) was just droning on about sine waves or other mysterious phenomena, and suddenly you got so tired that it became physically impossible to keep your head upright on your shoulders? Morgan Freeman feels you. Respect Morgan Freeman's nap game. »

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During Interview for New Movie

23 May 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

The publicity circuit for a new movie can be exhausting -- as an actor you've got to do countless interviews and promotional spots, trumpeting a film that you might not even like that much. But very few times has this level of exhaustion been captured on tape... until now. While Morgan Freeman was doing local TV interviews with Michael Caine for their new magician thriller "Now You See Me," he nodded off several times (more like "Now You Zzzz Me," right?). While Caine was being enthusiastic about the movie, discussing the scale of the tricks, Freeman begins to close his eyes. Then his head droops and you realize, he's taking a little nap. The interviewer (from a Fox affiliate in Seattle) either doesn't realize that he's temporarily lost the "Shawshank Redemption" star or doesn't want to bring it to anyone's attention, so he lobs a softball question about what it takes to be a narrator, »

Showing his new zombie thriller World War Z for the first time, hehosted a star-packed screening at New York City's Museum of Modern Art - then zipped to Hoboken, N.J., where he surprised moviegoers at a late-night sneak preview. "They said we got to do a showing in the city and I said okay, but we can't do it without showing it to the people who we made the film for," he told the Jersey fans. »

Isla, Mark, and Jesse Make Now You See Me a Family Affair

22 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Isla Fisher donned a L'Wren Scott gown to link up with her costars Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo at the NYC premiere of Now You See Me last night. The East Coast debut of the film also brought out cast members Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, and pregnant Mélanie Laurent. The event was somewhat of a family affair as Mark was accompanied by his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their kids, Keen, Bella, and Odette, while Michael and Woody both had their wives by their sides on the carpet. Along with Now You See Me, Isla has also been been busy promoting The Great Gatsby. She spent time in the South of France alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan last week at the Cannes Film Festival, where they attended multiple press events including the big premiere that opened the festival.

5 Most Overlooked Performances In The Dark Knight Trilogy

22 May 2013 2:03 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

The Dark Knight trilogy has many memorable performances throughout each film. Whether it be actors who reprised their roles such as Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, Michael Caine as Alfred or Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, to actors who shined in their respective roles in only one of the films, such as Heath Ledger as the Joker or Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent… the trilogy is filled with examples of excellent portrayals.

However, there are performances throughout the trilogy that do not receive quite as much positive attention as they should get. Here are 5 performances that are overlooked in The Dark Knight trilogy…

 

5. Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox)

Morgan Freeman’s depiction of Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight trilogy is one example of seeing an accomplished actor portray the same character in the trilogy. Fox is one character who had yet to be included in a Batman film before the first film in the trilogy, »
