Stars come out for British premiere of Mandela rugby film

Hollywood stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon took to the red carpet at the British premiere of Invictus at the Odeon Leicester Square, London.

Based on Nelson Mandela and the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the flick is directed by Clint Eastwood and draws on the then South African president's efforts to unite his post-apartheid country.

Actor Freeman revealed he had fulfilled a dream in playing one of his heroes Nelson Mandela.

Scenes from the film were shot on Robin Island, where Mandela was held captive for 27 years.

The film is due to be released in the UK on February 5.
