Morgan Freeman mistaken for Nelson Mandela on a billboard in India

A billboard poster paying tribute to late anti-apertheid fighter Nelson Mandela was displayed in Coimbatore, India, with the face of actor Morgan Freeman - who actually played Mandela in the 2009 film Invictus - on it.

The sign was commissioned by a local cloth merchant that wanted to pay his respects to the South African leader, who said the mistake was the designer's and that the image will be replaced.
