Almost 35 years after starring together in Ghost alongside the late Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore reunited at the Oscars on March 2, 2025. Their reunion, which took place before they walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, sparked major nostalgia for fans of the 1990 supernatural classic.
In Ghost, Goldberg won an Academy Award for her role as Oda Mae Brown, a quirky medium who helps Sam Wheat (Swayze), a man stuck as a ghost after being murdered. Moore played Molly, Sam’s widow, who communicates with her deceased husband through Goldberg’s character.
The reunion between the two stars was warm and heartfelt. They greeted each other with smiles, holding hands, and sharing a moment of eye contact, which had fans reminiscing about the film. One fan shared online, “Both have barely aged. I also wonder how any Gen Z folks know what this movie is/was.”
Another fan commented, “Whoopi looked so wonderful, and even Demi did too. Glad for them to reunite.” Some fans even joked, “Maybe Sam is there too,” referring to Patrick Swayze’s character.
As the two posed for photos, there were moments of lighthearted conversation. However, it seems that Goldberg snapped at Moore after she suggested a specific pose for their photo. According to professional lip reader NJ Hickling, Goldberg told Moore, “I don’t pose,” after Moore suggested they stand back for the photo. Moore, who rubbed her shoulder after the remark, replied, “That’s okay.”
Despite this brief exchange, Moore also complimented Goldberg’s appearance, telling her she looked “cute” in her dress. This reunion not only brought back memories of their chemistry in Ghost but also showed that their bond remains strong after all these years.
