Indian Billboard Uses Morgan Freeman's Photo For Tribute To Nelson Mandela by ichommy(m): 5:11am On Dec 21, 2013
An Indian billboard mourning Nelson Mandela's
death has been put up in India using a photo of
actor Morgan Freeman
The memorial to Mandela was placed in the city
of Coimbatore by the side of a road.
The condolence message read"We should be
proud that we were part of an era when they
lived,'
Cloth merchant Chandrashekhar, who paid for
the board in a private capacity as a mark of
respect to the former South African leader, said it
was a mistake by the designer.
'We will replace it with the correct picture of
Mandela,' the merchant, who uses one name, told
AFP by telephone from Chennai, adding that he
did not know how the gaffe occurred.
Morgan Freeman played Mandela in 2009 film
Invictus which is probably how the mistake arose
