As well as having the most recognisable voice on the planet, Morgan Freeman is also a fully-licensed pilot. That's right, God can fly a plane if he wants.

The 77-year old actor, who took up flying when he was 65 because that's a totally normal thing for an OAP to do, was flying to Toronto for the premiere of his new film, Nick & Alex.

Freeman arrived at the premiere just under 90 minutes late and, as you can imagine, had the best excuse of all time - "Oh yeah, my private jet couldn't land so we had to do a thing. No big deal. Drink?"

So, yeah, Morgan Freeman - narrator, actor, pilot, Best Excuse-Giver. Not a bad CV for a guy who was in prison with Tim Robbins.
