Morgan Freeman Jokes About Death Rumors

Morgan Freeman gets a good laugh out of rumors of his own demise. The
Oscar winner took to his Facebook page on Tuesday to make light of
those pretty disgusting death hoaxes that have popped up with
increasing frequency on social media and targeted him over the years,
noting that if he is standing in front of the Pearly Gates, it looks
an awful lot like present-day Earth.

"Like Mark Twain, I keep reading that I have died," wrote the
75-year-old Freeman. "I hope those stories are not true...but if they
are, I'm happy to report that my afterlife seems identical to my life
when I was alive."

The acting legend, who played God, by the way, in Bruce Almighty and
Evan Almighty, noted that he's too booked up with work to think about
meeting his Maker.

"I did go to Las Vegas to begin work on the film Last Vegas," he
added. "That is anything but a death sentence." That comedy sounds
pretty lively indeed.

It stars Freeman, Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro and Kevin Kline and
follows four sixty something best friends who throw a bachelor party
in Sin City for the last one of them to get hitched. It hits theaters
in December 2013, and as far as the thesp's concerned, he has every
intention of being at the premiere.
