That awkward moment when… You accidentally confuse a deceased person with the Hollywood actor 20 years his junior that played him in a movie once.

That’s exactly what happened in India, when a tribute billboard to mark the passing of late South African leader Nelson Mandela was erected by the side of a road.

Only, instead of using an image of the freedom fighter, they used one of Morgan Freeman.

Cloth merchant Chandrashekhar, who paid for the board out of his own pocket as a sign of respect, said he didn’t know how the problem occurred, but pointed to a mistake at the designer’s end.

“We will replace it with the correct picture of Mandela,” he told news agencies.
