13 Actors' Favourite Movies You'd Never Expect

12. Moulin Rouge - Morgan Freeman

Beverly Hills Ninja Christian Bale
Warner Bros. & Fox

The Movie: Baz Luhrmann's ridiculously successful, Oscar-winning musical, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

Why You'd Never Expect It: Because Morgan Freeman just isn't one of those actors who ever really hints at a fabulous side, and combined with his age, suggests his favourite movies would probably be classic westerns and thrillers. To see something so contemporary and flamboyant as his all-time fave is just...bizarre (but amazing).

What He Says: "It's that kind of movie where you can kick back and just enjoy. Everything about it is outstanding. Forget saying that it's to die for. It's to cry for. I've never seen anything done quite that well."
