Nearly 35 years after sharing the screen in Ghost alongside the late Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore had a heartfelt reunion at the Oscars—though it seemingly ended with Goldberg snapping at her former co-star.
Before making their way down the red carpet at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for the March 2 Academy Awards, the 69-year-old Color Purple star and the 62-year-old actress shared a nostalgic moment, reminiscing about their time in the iconic 1990 film.
A blend of romance, mystery, and the supernatural, Ghost remains a beloved classic. Goldberg’s portrayal of the quirky medium Oda Mae Brown, who helps Patrick Swayze’s character, Sam Wheat—a ghost seeking justice after his murder—earned her an Academy Award. Moore played Molly, Sam’s grieving widow, who connects with her lost love through Oda Mae.
Now, decades later, fans were delighted to see the two actresses warmly reconnect, holding hands and sharing a meaningful gaze that instantly sparked nostalgia.
One fan online commented, “Both have barely aged. I also wonder how any Gen Z folks even know what this movie is/was.”
Another wrote, “Whoopi looked so wonderful, and even Demi did too. Glad for them to reunite.”
A third added, “Maybe Sam is there too.”
Their heartfelt exchange not only brought back memories of their on-screen magic but also highlighted their enduring friendship, proving that some Hollywood bonds truly stand the test of time.
“Love it! A genuine and heart-warming moment!” one fan gushed.
Another chimed in, “One of my favorite movies—we need a sequel!”

Beyond the pleasant exchanges, fans have been buzzing about what exactly was said between the two stars.
Before the snapshot was taken, it seems Whoopi Goldberg had a sharp response when Demi Moore asked to take a picture together.
To clear up the speculation, professional lip reader NJ Hickling analyzed the exchange and shared their findings with The U.S. Sun.

According to Hickling, after Goldberg replied, “I’m fine,” Moore suggested, “Let’s get a photo.”
Goldberg then reportedly responded, “Together, I’d like to,” before Moore suggested, “Let’s stand back.” That comment led Goldberg to flatly decline, saying, “I don’t pose.”
Trying to smooth things over, Moore gently rubbed Goldberg’s shoulder and said, “That’s okay.”
Despite the moment of tension, Moore, who was notably overlooked by the Academy for her role in The Substance, took a moment to compliment Goldberg, telling her she looked “cute” in her dress.
