Did Morgan Freeman Become a Muslim?

Rating:

• Morgan did not make any statement about Freeman’s conversion to Islam. So the claim is FALSE.

As a nation, we have a habit of claiming that famous names are ‘Turkish’ or ‘Muslim’. Comments like “So-and-so is actually Turkish” are indicative of this… This may be related to adopting a large dose of ethnicity or religious identity.

Hollywood veteran Morgan Freeman is also among those who fell victim to the rumor that he was a Muslim. It is rumored that the famous player made a statement about being a Muslim in the opening speech of the World Cup organized by Qatar this year.

Some Tweets claiming Morgan Freeman is Muslim:

Morgan Freeman Didn’t Declare He Is Muslim

However, there is no evidence that the US actor converted to Islam. Moreover, speaking into the microphone of Reuters, Fred Specktor, representing Freeman, denied the allegations. He said that he did not change religion and that the media made it up.

However, it is clear that he did not mention such a situation in his keynote, even without his own explanation. We do not find any emphases in the video that he converted to Islam.

It has been mentioned before that Morgan Freeman converted to Islam. The tweeted image of Majid Nawaz with the famous actor brought this possibility to mind. Nawaz’s post included the following statements:

I spent the afternoon at the Islamic Cultural Center in New York discussing the difference between Islam and Islam with Morgan Freeman.

This photo of Freeman, which was taken at the Islamic Cultural Center in New York, also appeared in the press as if it was related to Islam. However, the famous actor told AARP in 2019 that he did not believe in any religion. Also, in the continuation of the interview, he added that the closest belief to him was “Zoroastrianism”.
