That put a smile on his face! Morgan Freeman grins with glee after kissing Marcia Gay Harden on the lips at CBS event

He has starred in movies with some of the world's most desirable women.

But that did not stop Morgan Freeman from getting excited when he got the chance to lock lips with Marcia Gay Harden at a CBS event in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 70-year-old was grinning like Cheshire cat after he gave the saucy actress a smooch as they revelled in the atmosphere at the network's Summer Soiree bash.

And no wonder, for the 56-year-old actress was looking great for her age in a figure-hugging red dress, which she twinned with a pair of colour-coordinated high heels.

The single starlet, who won an Oscar for her turn in 2000's Pollock, was certainly popular at the event, with Hawaii Five-0 star Scott Caan also cuddling up for a photograph.

But she was far from the only fine filly who was turning heads at the star-studded event.

The Late, Late Show star James Corden, 37, was also in attendance to keep the British end up, and showcased his cuddly physique in a suit jacket, polo shirt and jeans.

He said: 'My first real career break was on Broadway in 1967 when I landed a part in Hello, Dolly.
