Beltway media are reading tea leaves after Morgan Freeman was spotted leaving a Washington steakhouse where President Obama dined Wednesday night.
“The dinner comes just days after Obama dined with a trio of Hollywood VIP donors in Southern California: DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn and actor Will Smith.”
The DCist added that Tom Hanks also spotted in the group.
“The press pool reported seeing the president and Freeman leaving at the same time with a group of people. Others reported having their meal delightfully interrupted by the dream dinner date.”
The chatter continued on social media:

Obama’s dinner with Morgan Freeman at BLT was “entirely social” (Freeman is involved in post-White-House planning). pic.twitter.com/tJ174BV4AQ
