Designers behind a billboard in India were guilty of a significant blunder recently when they chose to mourn the death of Nelson Mandela with an image of Morgan Freeman.<\/p>\n
The former South African president died earlier this month at the age of 95 and a site in Chennai was chosen for a picture of the international icon to be displayed.<\/p>\n

Freeman has some form for impersonating Mandela having played him in the 2009 film Invictus.<\/p>\n
Following his recent death, he said: "Today the world lost one of the true giants of the past century."<\/p>\n
Twitter users were bemused by the mix-up and were quick to point out the obvious error in showing Freeman in a tribute to Mandela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
