Morgan Freeman said what?

It's a well-known fact: Morgan Freeman talks, people listen.

But he's never sounded like this before.

In a clip for the Science Channel first posted by Entertainment Weekly, America's narrator-in-chief indulges in a childhood game: inhaling helium to raise the pitch of his voice.

There's no rhyme or reason to the short video — he doesn't actually explain the effects of helium, rather focusing on peculiarities in science — but it serves as a fantastic promo for the fifth season of the Science Channel's Through the Wormhole.

If this isn't a great promo - then I don't know what is!!

He still sounds so awesome. It's like a childhood version of himself. I would still listen to him with that high pitched voice!
