<p>Actor Morgan Freeman says he’s “p***ed off” that companies are using his voice — or AI-generated imitations of it — without permission, and he plans to take legal action.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 88-year-old “Shawshank Redemption” star, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">known for his signature baritone, said as much during an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/ng-interactive/2025/nov/10/morgan-freeman-interview-nelson-mandela-six-decades-on-screen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with The Guardian </span>published this week.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m a little PO’d, you know,” Freeman told the outlet. “I’m like any other actor: don’t mimic me with falseness. I don’t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you’re gonna do it without me, you’re robbing me.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor went on to say that his lawyers have been &#8220;very, very busy&#8221; pursuing “quite a few” lawsuits against AI companies that use digital recreations of his voice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the same interview, Freeman also expressed his disapproval of the new AI-generated “actress” Tilly Norwood, whose creators are touting as “the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Nobody likes her because she’s not real and that takes the part of a real person, so it’s not going to work out very well in the movies or in television … The union’s job is to keep actors acting, so there’s going to be that conflict,” the “Driving Miss Daisy” star said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most Hollywood actors have said they don’t think Tilly Norwood should exist, there are plenty who have granted their permission for companies to use AI-generated versions of their voices.</span></p>
<p>Oscar-winning actors Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine have each signed deals with AI-audio company ElevenLabs, in which McConaughey is also an investor.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">McConaughey said he was “impressed” by the company and hoped to “reach and connect with even more people” through the partnership.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caine said in a statement: “For years, I’ve lent my voice to stories that moved people – tales of courage, of wit, of the human spirit. Now, I’m helping others find theirs. With ElevenLabs, we can preserve and share voices – not just mine, but anyone’s.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” actor also praised ElevenLabs for “using innovation not to replace humanity, but to celebrate it” and added that it’s “not about replacing voices; it’s about amplifying them.”</span></p>
