Diane Keaton may not be looking for a romantic connection, but she knows what she likes.
During an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Monday, the Oscar-winning actress opened up about her appearance in Justin Bieber’s music video for “Ghost,” which has racked up 122 million views to date. Keaton, 76, plays Bieber’s grandmother in the video.
“It’s so weird,” a laughing Keaton said, as a snippet of the video played in the background.
But Keaton told host Ellen DeGeneres she had “so much fun” filming with Bieber. “He’s a great man,” Keaton said. “Gorgeous and awesome.”
She continued, “It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.”
DeGeneres reminded the actress that she introduced her to Bieber on his talk show in November 2015, rolling a clip of an overwhelmed Keaton hugging Bieber and kissing him on the cheek.
“It was fun. I loved it,” Keaton said. “He’s totally adorable.”
Bieber isn’t the only one to have caught Keaton’s eye. DeGeneres poked fun at Keaton’s enthusiastic affection for men, calling her “a connoisseur of men.” She then shared an Instagram video posted by Keaton, in which the actress passes out in front of a series of famous men, including Reese Witherspoon’s 18-year-old son, Deacon Phillippe.

In the video, Keaton mistakes Phillippe for a baby-faced Leonardo DiCaprio, which DeGeneres corrects. “Oops, but look at it: it’s beautiful,” Keaton said. “How old is he now?”
“Too young for you,” DeGeneres joked, to which Keaton playfully replied, “Maybe he’d like to get to know me.”
In an interview with InStyle magazine in July 2019, Keaton revealed that she hadn’t been invited in decades. “I haven’t had a date in, I would say, 35 years,” she said at the time.
“I have a lot of male friends,” she added. “I have a lot of friends, but no date. No mwah-mwah.”

Keaton told the magazine that she sees herself as someone with walls of protection, “someone who avoids more than anything else.”
But she added: “I’m not afraid of what I love. … I had a lot of independence, and nobody tells me what to do. I had a mother who encouraged that and helped me achieve the things I wanted to achieve. I followed the paths I wanted to follow. I love redoing houses, I love architecture, I love visuals, I love fashion, I love everything.”
