Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman’s creepy comments caught on tape

Footage of actor Morgan Freeman making creepy comments to a female TV interviewer emerged Friday — one day after other eight women accused the actor of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior.

The “Shawshank Redemption” star was caught on tape making a tone-deaf pass at “Entertainment Tonight” correspondent Ashley Crossan as she tried to do her job in 2016, according to a clip released by ET.

“Are you married?” the 80-year-old actor asked Crossan while promoting his film “London Has Fallen.”

“No,” Crossan replied.

“Fool around with older guys? I’m just asking,” he shot back.

After the interview, Crossan shook Freeman’s hand and said, ”Pleasure to meet you.”

“Mine,” Freeman said. “Look at yourself.”

The footage was released in the wake of a CNN exposé published Thursday in which women came forward to accuse the Oscar winner of serial sexual harassment.

One of them was “ET” special correspondent Janet Mock, who sat down with the star in 2015.

During the interview, Freeman told Mock, “I don’t know how you all manage to do that all the time … You got a dress halfway between your knee and your hips, and you sit down right across from me and cross your legs.”

Mock, who is also a writer and transgender activist, was offended.

“This interaction is an exhibition of the casual nature at which men in positions of power believe that everything belongs to them, including women’s bodies as they’re merely just trying to do their job,” she told “ET.”

“For me, as a young woman of color, who is a reporter and a fan of popular culture, I was deeply disappointed that someone who was seen as America’s grandfather was susceptible to such disturbing behavior and felt comfortable enough to do that as cameras were rolling, and that he could take claim of my body and look at it before even looking into my eyes,” she said.

In the CNN piece, eight people claimed to have been directly victimized and eight others said they witnessed Freeman’s alleged misconduct.
