Morgan Freeman Blessed Justin Bieber Lyrics With a Dramatic Reading

We'd rather listen to this version, tbh.

Morgan Freeman’s iconic voice never lets us down.

The legendary actor was recently put up to the challenge of a dramatic reading by the folks at Vanity Fair, during a press run promoting his new film, London Has Fallen Luckily for us and the Internet, he graciously accepted and channeled Justin Bieber’s lyrics in his own interpretation of the hit single “Love Yourself.”

"My mama didn't like you and she likes everyone," Freeman reads, giving a new hilarity to the noteworthy line. "And I never like to admit that I was wrong / And I've been so caught up in my job / Didn't see what's going on / But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own."

Indulge in Freeman’s epic take on the track below.
