Legendary Oscar-winning actress Rita Moreno expands her social circle with each movie set she steps on.
The 91-year-old West Side Story performer said she's managed to snag new friends on two of her most recent projects: the road trip comedy 80 for Brady and the upcoming Fast franchise blockbuster Fast X.
"When I went into rehearsal for [a] scene, it was freezing cold out. We were shooting in London," Moreno told the ladies of The View on Tuesday's live broadcast, reflecting on the moment she met Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. "I noticed that Chris was there. I thought, that can't be him. And it was! I said, 'Are you Chris?' He said yes, and I said, 'Hi, hello,' and now we've become text buddies!"

She then recalled meeting retired NFL player Marshawn Lynch while shooting the ensemble comedy 80 for Brady with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Sally Field.

"I always get his name wrong, [Marshawn] Lynch, the football player, we're text buddies also. I met him on the 80 for Brady movie," she said, to which Whoopi Goldberg responded, "Picking up men everywhere you go, just picking 'em up!"

Moreno turned to look at Goldberg, saying, "I like my Black boys." Cohost Sunny Hostin added, "Yeah, I do, too." Goldberg finished the discussion by telling the actress that "they like you, too!"

Moreno previously opened up about filming Brady, revealing to Jimmy Kimmel that she "kept grabbing" herself while shooting a scene inside a football locker room.


"I simply want to say that my favorite scene in the movie takes place in the locker room where the guys are — you know, [Rob Gronkowski], all of these guys," Moreno said.

"I entered the room, and it's a real locker room. And I swear to God, in seconds I got turned on."

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC, while Moreno's Fast X hits theaters on Friday.

Though I understand the sentiment of many of the detractors on this topic, from her I don't take it as disrespectful.

Yes, I know I give Latinos more leeway than I would give any white person, but that's my stance, especially considering she's 30 years older than them. I don't believe she meant it disrespectfully

30 years? She's 91. Not bad for 91.

I didn't know she was 90. It makes even more more sense now that I understand the 50 year difference. Again, I don't think she meant anything by it, whereas racist white people when they say it they definitely mean something by it
When a 40 year old is calling a black adult "boy", that's malicious. She's 90 and Luda is like 40, so he's a kid to her. We're in our late 30s and up, and I refer to college students as children. I don't think she really meant anything by it, but I get why people would be upset.

I'd give her a pass on that one..Rita Moreno doesnt have a history of shit like that and she's an elder...

you can never convince a brainwashed negro that a white liberal is being racist. the amount of copping pleas in this thread shows that. they will make all sorts of excuses for them. white worship is real. we are always going to be left behind because of these folks in our community.

Rita Moreno slams 'all of these bitches' who were mean to her in Hollywood​

The 92-year-old revealed on "The View" that many women in show business were rude to her in her "little Puerto Rican past."

Rita Moreno just let loose at The View's Hot Topics table.

The 92-year-old Hollywood icon joined the talk show on Monday to promote her role in the new comedy filmThe Prank, in which she plays a mean-spirited professor falsely accused of murder, and revealed that she channeled the prickly dispositions of select peers to prepare for the role.

"I just thought, how am I going to play this terrible person? And I thought of all the women in my life — particularly in show business — who'd really been awful to me. All of these bitches," Moreno said after cohost Sunny Hostin asked the Oscar-winning West Side Story actress how she approached the part.

"I said to myself, I thought, I'm going to use all of the things that they did with me and my little Puerto Rican past, and that's what I do," Moreno continued. "Boy was that fun."

Moreno didn't name names, even though panelist Ana Navarro shoved a cue card toward her and asked her to write them down.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg — who, alongside Moreno, is also an EGOT-winning performer — echoed Moreno's sentiment about Hollywood, voicing agreement with the performer's assessment of star temperaments in industry circles.

The View was a fitting place for Moreno to make the claim, as the show has long hosted infamous squabbles among its cohosts — including an iconic 2007 clash between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, which the show recently referenced during a mock Double Dare trivia game last week.

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
