There can be nothing more daunting for an actor than having to play a real-life character on the big screen. As we all know, over the past years, many an actor has faced the challenge of playing our iconic former president Nelson Mandela. But, in the movie, The Forgiven, it is the first time that the inimitable Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been brought to life by an award-winning Hollywood thespian.
Thus far, critics have raved about Forest Whitaker's performance as Desmond Tutu but, looks wise, how do you think he fares? Personally I think the hair is a little 'wiggy' but otherwise, it's a good match!
The Forgiven opens across movie houses in South Africa today.
