Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix: Unveiling the Intriguing Hypothesisgreendigital
In celebrity mysteries and urban legends. Few narratives capture the imagination as the hypothesis that Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix.

While this might seem like a far-fetched notion at first glance. a deeper exploration reveals a rich tapestry of coincidences, speculative connections. and a surprising alignment of life events fueling this captivating hypothesis.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction to the Hypothesis: Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix
The idea that Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix stems from a mix of historical anomalies, physical resemblances. and a penchant for myth-making that surrounds celebrities. While Jimi Hendrix's official death in 1970 is well-documented. some theorists suggest that Hendrix did not die but instead reinvented himself as Morgan Freeman. a man who would become one of Hollywood's most revered actors. This article aims to delve into the various aspects of this hypothesis. examining its origins, the supporting arguments. and the cultural impact of such a theory.
The Genesis of the Theory
Early Life Parallels
The hypothesis that Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix begins by comparing their early lives. Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle, Washington, on November 27, 1942. and Morgan Freeman, born on June 1, 1937, in Memphis, Tennessee, have lived very different lives. But, proponents of the theory suggest that the five-year age difference is negligible and point to Freeman's late start in his acting career as evidence of a life lived before under a different identity.
The Disappearance and Reappearance
Jimi Hendrix's death in 1970 at the age of 27 is a well-documented event. But, theorists argue that Hendrix's death staged. and he reemerged as Morgan Freeman. They highlight Freeman's rise to prominence in the early 1970s. coinciding with Hendrix's supposed death. Freeman's first significant acting role came in 1971 on the children's television show "The Electric Company," a mere year after Hendrix's passing.
Physical Resemblances
Facial Structure and Features
One of the most compelling arguments for the hypothesis that Morgan Freeman is Jimi Hendrix lies in the physical resemblance between the two men. Analyzing photographs, proponents point out similarities in facial structure. particularly the cheekbones and jawline. Both men have a distinctive gap between their front teeth. which is rare and often highlighted as a critical point of similarity.
Voice and Mannerisms
Supporters of the theory also draw attention to the similarities in their voices.

2. Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer, stated "First-half sales have come in around 30%
higher than our initial targets. This performance reflects: a 85% growth in our Online
segment; a solid showing by our back catalog, driven by Just Dance, Michael Jackson The
Experience and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, which confirms players’ enthusiasm for these
flagship brands; and better-than-expected sales for Driver San Francisco, boosted by very
good reviews. Our strong sales figure drove another sharp increase in gross profit and
enhanced our earnings performance."
Sales
Sales for the first half of 2011-12 came to €249 million, down 4.6% (or up 0.8% at constant
exchange rates) compared with the €261 million recorded for first-half 2010-11.

representing an increase of 47.5% (+54.6% at constant exchange rates).
Sales in the second quarter of 2011-12 were significantly higher than the guidance of around
€99 million issued when Ubisoft released its sales figures for the first quarter of the year. This
second-quarter performance reflects the following:
For €29 million, a better-than-expected performance by the Online segment, the back
catalog and Driver® San Francisco. The Online segment saw a 132% surge in sales,
fueled by the success of the Smurfs on Facebook and From Dust™ on XBLA/PSN and
PC, a further solid showing from Settlers® Online, the launch of Trackmania™ 2
Canyon, Owlient®’s Howrse first month of sales contributions and ongoing positive
trends in the digital distribution of titles for PC and consoles. Online revenues were up
85% in the first half, to €30 million, or 12% of total sales, compared with 6% in the
same period of 2010-11.

coming in at 63.7% against 56.1% in the same period of 2010-11. The figure also rose year-
on-year in absolute value terms to €158.4 million from €146.2 million. Coming on the back of
the increase already observed in 2010-11, this further solid performance primarily reflects

Online sales.

compensation, marking an improvement on the €64.9 million loss recorded for the first six

34.9% of sales, versus €98.4 million (37.8% of sales) in first-half 2010-11. The

external R&D investments were on a par with the first-half 2010-11 figure of
€175.7 million.

21.7% (€56.7 million) in first-half 2010-11.

of €44.6 million and a diluted loss per share of €0.46 for the first six months of 2010-11.
Main cash flow statement and balance sheet items (unaudited)

€129.8 million in first-half 2010-11. This reflects a negative €142.7 million in cash flow from
operations (versus a negative €99.2 million in the same period of 2010-11) and a

€79.2 million at September 30, 2010. The swing from a net cash position of €99.2 million at
March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to:
