Morgan Freeman has given a million-dollar explanation regarding the gradual closing of his eyelids during an early-morning interview yesterday.

"I wasn't actually sleeping," the Oscar winner said in a statement obtained by E! News Thursday after millions of people viewed his televised nap online. "I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page."

Funny, sonorous and tech-savvy? Swoon!

Freeman caught a few Z's while costar Michael Caine took the lead in talking about their new film, Now You See Me, on Seattle's Q13 Fox News.

We bet the next morning crew won't dillydally when it comes to getting this man his coffee!
