The US President Barack Obama, while speaking about the Sony cyberattack at the hands of North Korea that caused 'The Interview' to be pulled from theaters, accidently mixed up Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and actor James Franco.

Obama said in the speech that he believes that the company should have kept the Seth Rogen and James "Flacco" film as planned instead of scrapping its Christmas Day release, E! Online reported.

Obama added that he is sympathetic to the concerns that Sony faced, but he thinks they made a mistake.

He continued that they cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States.
