Morgan Freeman has narrated countless documentaries and even Hillary Clinton political ads, but now he can narrate your drive home. The free Waze traffic app has added the Oscar-winner’s distinct voice to its options in the U.S.
Waze said that Freeman’s voice is among the most requested for drivers in the U.S. Now, their wish is finally granted.
Of course, Freeman didn’t do this for nothing. It’s all a part of the promotion for the Olympus Has Fallen sequel London Has Fallen. So, technically his character, Vice President Trumbull, is the one guiding you. Therefore, you can use Trumbull to guide yourself to the local movie theater to see London Has Fallen.
Other celebrities have used Waze to help promote projects. Last year, Arnold Schwarzenegger recorded his voice to promote Terminator Genisys, USA Today reported at the time. Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Stephen Colbert (The Late Show), Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots and Neil Patrick Harris have also recorded directions for the app. In other words, if you want your favorite star to guide you through traffic, just hope they have a new movie or show to promote.
Freeman’s new movie opens on March 4.
