Morgan Freeman has been labelled a 'sellout' with 'blood on his hands' after accepting Qatari cash to front the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
His surprise appearance in Doha comes 12 years after he fluffed his lines while attempting to help the USA's bid to host the 2022 tournament.
On social media, fans called him a 'Qatari sleeper agent', reminiscing on his infamous speech in 2010, where he caused huge embarrassment for the USA's bid team by messing up his speech and telling the crowd: 'I'm sorry, I missed a page'.
Freeman narrated the opening segment of the 2022 World Cup opening ceremony, titled 'The Calling', telling viewers: 'We all gather here in one big tribe'.
But on social media, there was a less than favorable reception to Freeman's appearance
Another added 'money talks', while one said: 'Sportswashing runs deep.'
