Morgan Freeman has talked about filming Lucky Number Slevin.

The actor's character in the thriller - an evil crime boss - was suffocated by a plastic bag, but Freeman says he was pumped oxygen during the filming of the scene.

He explained: "When you're on a movie set anything that you're going to do that is in any way going to challenge your safety, there are people all over you making sure that you're safety is not challenged.

"So, if they're going to put a plastic bag over my head, to forestall any chance of a mistake or something going wrong, they put an air hose in there. Nothing is going to go wrong and sometimes people have issues. I may suddenly panic and then do myself damage."
