Morgan Freeman Called Out Ben Affleck on the Gone Baby Gone Movie Set, According to a Co-Star Who Watched It Happen

It was 2007’s Gone Baby Gone (94% on Rotten Tomatoes ) that announced Ben Affleck‘s talent as a director to the world. The pulsating crime drama found its way onto many top 10 lists for the year and remains a must-watch movie for any film fan. Despite all its achievements and success, that didn’t stop Morgan Freeman from calling out Affleck during the production. Appearing on the Still Here Hollywood Podcast, Titus Welliver, who played Lionel McCready in Gone Baby Gone, revealed an interesting story about Freeman and Affleck. Welliver explained how he didn’t have many scenes to shoot, but he still chose to hang around on set to see the masters of their craft, like Freeman, in action. “Morgan and I are sort of from the same school,” he said. “It’s like one or two takes; we’re not taking runs at it. That’s probably why I could never work with David Fincher. I’m not a multitake guy.” One day, Welliver made his way over to watch Freeman shoot his scene.
