Morgan Freeman Naps: 75-Year-Old Star Falls Asleep During Live TV Interview [VIDEO]

During an interview with Seattle's Q13 Fox News to promote upcoming heist movie, "Now You See Me", actor Morgan Freeman appeared to be falling asleep.

Sitting alongside Michael Caine, the 75-year-old actor began nodding off after he answered the first question and as the conversation moved into graphics and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).

Caine did not let his sleepy co-star ruin the fun; he continued to answer the questions as anchors Kaci Aitchison and Bill Wixey pushed through the interview.

The four-minute-long interview drudged on and ended when Freeman was asked what skills were involved in narrating.

"I think probably just uh... being a good reader...having a cl-clear voice," he said.

The interview concluded on an even stranger note when the reporters were wrapping up the piece and Caine, completely unaware his microphone was still on, called out, "Is this the last one?"
