Hollywood star Morgan Freeman has revealed one of his favourite roles was playing a pimp.

In an event at the Oxford Union debating chamber on Tuesday night, the Oscar winner said one of his most enjoyable roles had been his pimp performance in Streetsmart, working with Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven and acting in Million Dollar Baby.

On the race issue he said: “Hollywood is colour blind, it only sees green. If it makes money the walls come tumbling down.”
