Morgan Freeman spotted in Belfast while filming documentary

An acting icon sent social media into a frenzy yesterday when Morgan Freeman was seen apparently strolling around Belfast.

It later emerged the star was in the city to film a documentary called The Story of Us, which examines conflict situations.

It is a follow-up to the series 'The Story of God', which Freeman fronted for National Geographic.

Hey, if it features both Ireland and the smooth voice of Morgan Freeman, then we'll definitely watch it.
