Veteran Hollywood star Morgan Freeman says he was scared after watching the 1933 'King Kong' at the age of six.

The 76-year-old actor had moved from a rural area to the city when he was a boy and could not believe his eyes when he saw a movie for the first time, reported People magazine.

"The first movie I ever saw was 'King Kong'. It scared the daylights out of me. I was six and had dreams for a long time about that ape. I had moved from rural Mississippi to Chicago, where there were telephones, indoor plumbing, and - a foreign thing to me - movie theatres," Freeman said.
 

"I immediately fell in love. They were such magical places," he added.
