Freeman in sleaze video

- Nancy Dillon

MORGAN FREEMAN seemingly propositio­ns an “Entertainm­ent Tonight” correspond­ent in a creepy new video that surfaced Friday.

“Are you married?” the legendary actor, now 80, asked ET correspond­ent Ashley Crossan in 2016 while promoting is film “London Has Fallen.” “No,” Crossan replied. “Fool around with older guys? I’m just asking,” he said.

When the interview ended, Crossan shook Freeman’s hand.

“Pleasure to meet you,” she said.

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

In a 2015 interview with ET correspond­ent Janet Mock for the film “Five Flights Up,” Freeman turned the subject to Mock’s skirt length and legs.

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

Mock, a TV writer, bestsellin­g author and transgende­r rights activist, told ET his words were disrespect­ful.

The caught-on-tape comments were unearthed when ET checked its archives in the wake of a CNN exposé that cast the Oscar winner as a serial harasser.

After the CNN report, Freeman said he never intentiona­lly harassed anyone.
