Morgan Freeman Amusingly Parodies Nicole Kidman’s AMC Theatres Ad — GeekTyrant

May 10, 2024


Here’s a fun video that sees Morgan Freeman amusingly parodying Nicole Kidman’s AMC Theatres ad, which has become a hit with movie-going audiences over the years.In the parody video, Freeman sits down to watch numerous films that feature Kidman onscreen as he basks in the glory of her. Freeman says: “She takes us somewhere we’ve never been before. Not just entertained, but somehow reborn. Somehow, she makes heartbreak feel good in a place like this.”The video was presented at a ceremony where Kidman was being honored by the American Film Institute. It was during this AFI Life Achievement celebration, where Freeman called out Moulin Rouge as his favorite Kidman role, while singing a few notes from Elton John’s ‘Your Song.’Freeman was previously awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2011. Other recent winners include Steve Martin, Julie Andrews, George Clooney, and Mel Brooks.When talking about her decision to be a part of these AMC Theatres ads, Kidman said: “It was just the desire to keep cinemas alive. I’ve had the best experiences in cinema.”She added: “I’d pretend I was going to school; I’d forge a note, and I’d go and sit in a movie theater. That’s a safe haven for me, so the idea of those not existing—that’s just not part of the equation in my lifetime.”The Academy Award winner said she didn’t mind the parodies and mockery that came with the viral campaign, saying: “If that’s what it takes, I’ll do whatever it takes,. We have to have some more ideas for the next one.”
