(MediaQuire) Last Thursday Morgan Freeman sat down with Larry King on the Emmy-nominated series “Larry King Now” for an intimate, wide-ranging interview about his relationship with President Obama, confirming their recent dinner date, and what he really thinks about Hollywood’s diversity issue.

Morgan Freeman confirms to Larry King that he had dinner with President Obama in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday night, and reveals details about the upcoming Obama Presidential Center. “There were a bunch of us there to start helping him design the Obama Center,” he says. When asked if it will be a library, Freeman smiles and calls it a “center,” hinting that it will be more than a library or a museum. “He’s [President Obama] anxious to make it so that when people visit, they come away with maybe a little incentive to take part in the process more.”

As the #OscarsSoWhite conversation continues, the Academy Award winner argues that the issue encompasses more than just African-Americans, noting that “There were no Asians, either.” He also explains that the Academy isn’t the root of the problem, saying “I think if you’re going to talk about diversity in movies, let’s not talk about the Academy Awards. We need to go way way back, we need to go back to people who are making the movie: directors, producers and people behind the camera.”

Plus, the Oscar winner and self-described “ladies man” details where he got that voice and he opens up about not seeing many scripts these days.

Morgan Freeman’s episode premieres Monday, February 29th at 11am PST/ 2pm EST on www.ora.tv/larrykingnow.
