For avid fans of on-screen romance, there is nothing better than characters sealing the deal with a passionate kiss and expressing their love and desire for one another. Needless to say, not only fans, but actors also have their favorite on-screen kisses picked out and for Diane Keaton, it was her kiss with none other than Hollywood’s bossman, Morgan Freeman.
Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman starred in5 Flights Upwhere the two shared a sweet intimate moment with each other. The moment resulted in the actress finding her best on-screen kiss thanks to Morgan Freeman’s“luscious”lips.
Diane Keaton’s Favorite On-Screen Kiss
Richard Loncraine’s5 Flights Upis a feel-good comedy-drama starringDiane KeatonandMorgan Freemanas Ruth and Alex. The film follows the story of an older couple looking for a new apartment and the challenges they face along the way.
While the film might not have been much appreciated by the critics, no one can deny the incredible chemistry between the lead actors. At one point in the movie, Ruth and Alex share a sweet kiss and it quickly became Keaton’s favorite on-screen kiss of all time.
Diane Keaton on Why She Never Got Married After Her Ultimatum to Al Pacino: ‘I didn’t really want a man that I could have’
Now, Keaton has kissed her fair share of actors during her career that spans over five decades. FromJack NicholsontoKeanu Reeves, many lucky actors have had the privilege of sharing an intimate moment with the timeless actress. The question is, why did Freeman take the cake?
During her appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show,Keaton stated,
What I liked about Morgan Freeman’s kissing, although it was very unusual because we were an older husband and wife and we were used to kissing. But the fact that his lips were just so luscious. You just pushed your lips up against them and you squeezed in and it felt gooey and good. So, I liked that.
Again, in an interview with TODAY, Keaton told straight to Freeman himself that she“loved every bit”of their kiss and that she hoped they’d get to do that again in the future.
Diane Keaton Has an Absurd Goal in Life
While talking toEllen DeGeneres, Keaton revealed the one goal she has as an actress. No, she does not want to be the actress with the most hits or the most awards, but rather the most kisses. You read that right.

She stated that her goal was to kiss a total of 50 men on-screen and when the interview took place, she had already ticked off 18 from her to-kiss list.
In her own words,
What I’ve decided that I would like as my goal in life is to be the woman in films who has had the most kisses with men on film. I’m thinking that maybe 50 is what I’m going for, so I have a little bit of time. I have done exactly… more like 18. I have a long way to go.
Keaton being Keaton, posted a special Valentine’s Day wish on her Instagram last year. Accumulating a few of her on-screen kisses, she made a video montage with the caption,“Happy Valentine’s Day to all the men who were paid to kiss me.”
Here’s the video:

We couldn’t possibly love her more! It’s interesting to think that out of everyone she has ever kissed, Freeman comes at the top. Lucky man!
