FREEMAN WANTS TO BE MANDELA
MORGAN FREEMAN has been getting tips from former South African President NELSON MANDELA, before he plays him in a big screen biopic.
Freeman has become friends with Mandela and has made regular visits to his South African home, so he can make note of the ex-leader’s speech patterns and mannerisms.
The 69-year-old actor says, "I want people to think I am him." Freeman was handpicked to play Mandela - who was imprisoned in South Africa for 27 years - by director SHEKHAR KAPUR.
