Demi Moore has given us all the feelings after revealing that she retained some very precious objects from the Ghost set.
The 61-year-old played Molly Jensen in the legendary 1990 film, which also featured Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tony Goldwyn. Channing Tatum is poised to revive the film.
It told the story of Sam Wheat (Swayze), who is killed in a mugging but whose soul remains behind to warn his companion (Moore) that she is in danger, with the assistance of unsuspecting psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg).
Moore took a trip down memory lane during an interview on Drew Barrymore’s show to promote her new series, Feud, spilling the beans on some of her amazing filmography.
Recalling her first meeting with her co-star, who died in 2009, she told the host: ‘The first thing that just popped into my head was meeting Patrick Swayze for the first time. [I was] trying to figure out his thing.
‘And then he took his shirt off, and I was like, “Oh, got it. Get on behind me.”’
The sequence in question is considered one of the hottest in cinema history, with Swayze’s Sam Wheat getting quite sensual with his on-screen partner while on a pottery wheel.
If it wasn’t romantic enough, Unchained Melody was playing in the background, and the song continues to make viewers feel specific emotions to this day.
Moore shed insight on the event in question, revealing that she still had the pots they attempted to build on camera before their focus shifted elsewhere.
‘The claymation… I still have my little pots that I made, which are pitiful,’ she continued. They’re like the saddest looking things.’
Personally, we would have also nabbed the entire pottery wheel – and the record player, too, while we were at it…
Although Swayze and Moore played the major parts, it was Goldberg who stole the show in the 1990s film, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
However, prominent casting director Janet Hirshenson has stated that this was nearly not the case, since Swayze and Goldberg were not originally considered for the parts.
Hirshenson revealed that her audition for the Oscar-winning role took place in an airport.
‘Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t set and Patrick loved the idea also,’ she shared. ‘Jerry [Zucker, director] and Patrick ended up going to Atlanta, where she was shooting a movie, and they met in the airport so Patrick could read with Whoopi.
‘The two of them became very, very close friends. They had such great chemistry, I thought.
‘Who else could have played her but Whoopi Goldberg?!’
And the rest, as they say, is history.
