Almost 35 years after starring in Ghost with the late Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore reunited at the Oscars, but the moment ended with Goldberg refusing a photo request.
Before stepping onto the red carpet at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on March 2, Goldberg, 69, and Moore, 62, had a brief but memorable reunion.
The 1990 film Ghost is still a fan favorite, mixing love, mystery, and the supernatural. In the movie, Goldberg won an Academy Award for playing Oda Mae Brown, a medium who helps Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) communicate with his wife, Molly (Moore), after he is murdered.
Now, decades later, fans were thrilled to see Goldberg and Moore holding hands and smiling for the cameras. The moment brought back memories of their famous roles.
One fan commented online, “They both still look amazing. I wonder how many younger people even know about this movie.”
Another added, “Whoopi and Demi both look great. It’s nice to see them together again.”
A third person joked, “Maybe Sam is there too.”
Their exchange wasn’t just a nostalgic moment—it showed their lasting bond even after 35 years.
One viewer shared, “Such a genuine and sweet moment!”
Another added, “One of my favorite movies ever. We need a sequel.”
Along with the smiles, fans noticed a quick but surprising interaction between the two.
As the two stars spoke before posing for pictures, it seemed that Goldberg refused a photo request from Moore.
To clear up the speculation, lip reader NJ Hickling analyzed their conversation for The U.S. Sun.
According to Hickling, after Goldberg said, “I’m fine,” Moore suggested, “Let’s get a photo.”
Goldberg replied, “Together, I’d like to.” But when Moore said, “Let’s stand back,” Goldberg quickly refused, saying, “I don’t pose.”
Moore then rubbed Goldberg’s shoulder and responded, “That’s okay.”
Before parting, Moore also complimented Goldberg’s dress, telling her she looked “cute.”
