Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Universally recognised as one of the greatest voices of all times, Morgan Freeman has used his Godly lungs to narrate the journey of some penguins, voiceover the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and now to break up with you.
Well, Freeman’s not actually breaking up with you, he’s just dramatically reading the lyrics to Justin Bieber’s song “Love Yourself” for Vanity Fair to support his latest film, London Has Fallen.
“I’m going to do a dramatic reading from a very popular songwriter,” the actor begins. He then begins the minute long reading, featuring a nearly tearful Morgan Freeman.
The 78-year-old recently told Jimmy Kimmel just how he got his brilliant voice: “I went to school,” he explained. “To study how to be an actor and in that school, Los Angeles City College, I had a voice and diction instructor who was very good at his job and so you had to learn to speak and sound your final consonants, things like that.”
In the same segment, he narrated pedestrians walking in LA to hilarious effect.
