The iconic American actor, producer, and narrator, who has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a nomination for a Tony Award, has been spotted in a restaurant in Budapest’s 1st district. Morgan Freeman is in Hungary!

“Eat, breathe, relax, be inspired – join the club! Chic, sexy, cosmopolitan, yet utterly local“, reads the introduction on the official website of Déryné restaurant. “Artists, authors, movie stars, designers, ballerinas, the rich and famous shared the space with local crowds over coffee, drinks, food and the decadent magic lingering around its walls“, the restaurant continues in its introduction. If it is to be believed, it is hardly surprising that Morgan Freeman chose to spend some time at Déryné restaurant while in Budapest.

24.hu discovered a Facebook post by Déryné showing Morgan Freeman with Ákos Varga, a distinguished Hungarian sommelier. “One of the greatest… breathless”, Déryné wrote alongside the photo.

We wrote HERE and HERE that Hollywood stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson are also in Budapest for the filming of the second sequel to the successful heist film “Now You See Me.” Eisenberg visited a magician’s shop in the heart of the Hungarian capital, where the shop owner said he tried to learn some tricks. Meanwhile, Harrelson appeared in a selfie with Sándor Noszály, a Hungarian tennis champion, taken near a Budapest padel court. Noszály mentioned that the American actor was quite good at padel.

According to index.hu, filming for the third instalment has begun, which explains why Freeman is in Budapest.
