Morgan Freeman Wants to Give You Directions

Everyone needs guidance in life.

Some turn to God. Others turn to the next best thing: Morgan Freeman.

The Academy Award-winning actor has lent his voice to Google’s Waze navigation app and will be riding virtual shotgun with subscribers for a limited time.

As part of the promotion for the 78-year-old’s upcoming film London Has Fallen — in which he plays the vice president — Freeman addresses drivers as if they are the POTUS, saying things like “The American people are counting on you … to drive” and “You’ve arrived — It’s been my honor and duty to see you through this mission.”

Freeman will be happy to direct you to the theater to see his new movie, and hopefully towards the Pacific, to see if it’s as blue as it has been in your dreams.
