Police hunt: Morgan Freeman on the run

Avon and Somerset Police have released an appeal in hopes of finding the wanted Morgan Freeman, 27, far right inset. The force said he has been reported as failing to comply with licence conditions.

But the appeal for the runaway man went viral with people suggesting he had escaped from Shawshank State Prison in reference to the Hollywood blockbuster that starred Morgan Freeman. In the movie the actor stars as a prisoner who violates his parole by reuniting with his cellmate in Mexico.
