He was made famous for playing a lovable tough guy in the 1970s television series Taxi.

And on Monday Tony Danza demonstrated just how lovable he still is as fellow cast members of the upcoming film Don Jon's Addiction could not keep their hands off him.

The 61-year-old cuddled up to Joseph Gordon-Levitt and adorable Brie Larson for a screening of their new movie at the SXSW Music and Film Festival in Austin Texas.

Brie, 23, could not keep her hands off the Who's The Boss? star as they playfully hammed it up for the cameras.

At one point Tony's admiring female co-star wrapped her arms around his neck in a display of affection.

And in response, the former professional boxer held up one of his knockout fists  - as if he were admonishing her in mock anger.

The Emmy nominated actor was dressed in a tasteful black suit with a grey button down shirt.

His nearly silver hair belied his youthful physique and demeanor.

All the horseplay for the cameras only seemed to brighten his already cheerful disposition.

Brie was a little more casual in bright floral print pants, clunky workmen's boots, and a clingy white jumper.

But she brought a touch of elegance to her attire with a thin gold chain adorning her neck and a band of gold on her right wrist.

The 21 Jumpstreet star's greatest asset for the film screening was her overwhelming gregariousness and playful spirit.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 31, cut a striking figure in a blue suit that was the picture of elegance and style.

The 50/50 star makes his directorial debut with Don Jon's Addiction, which is reportedly a modern take on the classic story of lady's man Don Juan.

The movie, slated for release this summer, stars Gordon-Levitt as Don Jon and Tony Danza plays his father.

Many seem to either not remember, or didn't read the article. I'm sure Tony's facial features are a little marred do to the fact he was a professional boxer! He had some work done on it a few years ago also.

Whenever I see him I get Phoebe from Friends' song stuck in my head. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza"

Tony needs to eat more and forget about dying his hair.

Didn't recognise Tony - he looked fine a while back but now he's lost a lot of weight and looks haggard. Hope nothing's wrong.
