Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore Share a Heartfelt ‘Ghost’ Reunion at the Oscars—With a Playful Exchange
Nearly 35 years after they captivated audiences in Ghost alongside the late Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore shared a touching reunion at this year’s Academy Awards. However, their nostalgic moment took an amusing turn when Goldberg appeared to shut down a request from her former co-star.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Before stepping onto the red carpet at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, Goldberg, 69, and Moore, 62, took a moment to reconnect. The sight of the two actresses together again delighted fans of the 1990 supernatural romance, which remains a timeless classic.
For those who may not recall, Ghost followed the story of Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze), a man caught between life and the afterlife after his murder. Moore played his grieving girlfriend, Molly, while Goldberg portrayed Oda Mae Brown, a quirky psychic who becomes the bridge between the two. Goldberg’s performance earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, cementing her place in Hollywood history.
Decades later, the Sister Act star and Moore shared a warm embrace, held hands, and exchanged smiles—a scene that instantly transported fans back to their Ghost days.
Fans React to the Nostalgic Moment
Social media quickly buzzed with reactions to their heartwarming reunion.
“Neither of them has aged a day! I wonder how many Gen Z folks even know about this movie,” one fan wrote.
Another tweeted, “Whoopi looked absolutely stunning, and Demi too. So glad they got to reunite!”
Some fans even took the opportunity to imagine their late co-star’s presence. “Maybe Sam is there too,” one commenter wrote, referencing Swayze’s iconic character.
The moment wasn’t just a walk down memory lane—it was a reminder of the enduring legacy of a film that touched so many lives.
An Unexpected Exchange
While the reunion was filled with warmth, a lighthearted moment of disagreement between the actresses also caught the internet’s attention.
According to professional lip reader NJ Hickling, who analyzed their conversation for The U.S. Sun, Moore suggested they take a photo together. Goldberg, however, had a quick and candid response.
“I’m fine,” Goldberg initially replied when Moore checked in on her. The Striptease star then enthusiastically suggested, “Let’s get a photo.”
Goldberg seemingly agreed at first, saying, “Together, I’d like to,” but when Moore proposed, “Let’s stand back,” Goldberg shut it down with a firm, “I don’t pose.”
Ever gracious, Moore smiled and rubbed Goldberg’s shoulder before saying, “That’s okay.” She also took a moment to compliment Goldberg’s Oscars look, telling her she looked “cute” in her dress.
A Reunion Worth Celebrating
Despite the playful exchange, the bond between Goldberg and Moore remains undeniable. Their reunion reminded fans why Ghost is still beloved, more than three decades after its release.
