They starred together in the movie Red and there's clearly plenty of affection between the two major Hollywood stars.

Helen Mirren, 71, gave Morgan Freeman, 79, a full kiss on the lips as she presented him with a career Achievement award at the 16th annual Movies For Grownups Awards on Monday night in Beverly Hills.

The British Oscar winner cradled the actor's head in her hands as she planted the gentle smooch on the star who has also won an Academy Award, for Million Dollar Baby.

For her special presentation, Mirren wore a bold black long-sleeved number with large white flowers on green stems on the front of it.

She wore her short blonde hair simply styled in gentle waves swept away from her forehead and added bright red lip color and a touch of rosy blush.

The star of The Queen added a pair of floral-themed gold and diamond earrings to complete her look.

She and Freeman have reunited to star together in a big screen adaptation of The Nutcracker filming in London with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.

Each year the organization for Americans 50 and older honors those movies that 'appeal to audiences with a grownup state of mind.'

In an interview with the AARP's magazine in December, she spoke about being a septuagenarian star.

'The best thing about being over 70 is being over 70. Certainly when I was 45, the idea of being 70 was like, Arghhh!' she said.

'But you only have two options in life: Die young or get old. There is nothing else.'
