Julia Roberts is all smiles as she hits the stage at the 2019 AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony honoring Denzel Washington held at the Dolby Theatre on Thursday (June 6) in Hollywood.

The 51-year-old Oscar-wining actress was joined at the event by Jamie Foxx, Frances McDormand, Jennifer Hudson, Morgan Freeman, Spike Lee and Antoine Fuqua.

“I met Denzel Washington over half my life ago, while we made The Pelican Brief,” Julia expressed during her speech (via USA Today). “Working with Denzel, I have never seen anything like it, honestly. It was like working, as I would imagine, with The Beatles. People screaming, women fainting in the street…but what I remember so well was meeting (your wife) Pauletta and your kids and seeing how you valued your family, your home life above all else…and now I live my life with those same values. The two of you inspired me then, and continue to inspire me today.”

Jamie shared a personal story: “I’ve had Denzel to my house. I like saying that because not a lot of people get a chance to do that,” he laughed. “He sat at the table, and he talked to all of the young actors who were coming up, and all the young actresses…That night he talked to all of us, and he made us all feel like absolutely we could do it. Thank you for taking that night out to help some people grow, man.”

The 71-year-old Three’s Company actress showed her support for the 81-year-old Going in Style actor while appearing on Fox’s The Ingraham Angle on Tuesday night (July 3).

“Well, this probably won’t be real popular, but I think that women…I totally understand the [Harvey] Weinstein and Bill Cosby, that’s like, of course,” she said. “But you know, like Morgan Freeman’s a big flirt. I know him really well. He sees you and he’ll like your dress and he’ll like your hair. He’ll like a lot of things.”

On Hollywood’s #MeToo movement, Suzanne shared, “I hope the dance doesn’t stop. It’s seduction. It’s flirting. All those things are really fun. So I hope there’s a way we can find a nice medium with that.”

Morgan Freeman‘s lawyer is demanding that CNN issue a retraction of their story alleging sexual misconduct against the actor.

In a letter to CNN, which has been republished by Deadline, lawyer Robert M. Schwartz listed numerous complains about the article.

“It has been said that ‘A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.’ In just the few days since CNN published the article on Mr. Freeman, it has traveled all the way around the world and back, millions of times. If CNN has any decency, or any allegiance to journalistic integrity, it will immediate retract the article and issue a public apology to Mr. Freeman,” Robert wrote on behalf of Morgan. “This letter is not intended to constitute a complete statement of all of the facts related to CNN’s conduct. Mr. Freeman is hereby reserving all of his rights, claims, and remedies against CNN and its employees.”

Morgan has spoken out about the allegations as false.
