Demi Moore has given us all the feels after confessing that she kept hold of some very special props from the set of Ghost. The 61-year-old starred as Molly Jensen in the iconic 1990 flick, alongside Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Tony Goldwyn – with Channing Tatum set to reboot the movie.
It was a blast from the past when Moore appeared on the Drew Barrymore show to promote her new series, Feud. During the interview, she took a walk down memory lane and shared some behind-the-scenes stories from her impressive back catalog of movies.
One of the most memorable moments Moore recalled was her first meeting with her co-star, the late Patrick Swayze. She shared, ‘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 scene in question has gone down in film history as one of the sexiest sex scenes ever – with Swayze’s Sam Wheat getting very steamy with his on-screen partner while on a pottery wheel. If that wasn’t romantic enough, Unchained Melody happened to be playing in the background, with the track still making viewers feel a certain type of way to this very day.
Moore revealed that she actually still has the pots they attempted to make on camera, before their attention was turned elsewhere. ‘The claymation… I still have my little pots that I made, which are pitiful,’ she shared. ‘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 starred in the lead roles, it was Goldberg who stole the show in the 90s movie, and ended up walking away with the Oscar for best supporting actress. However, noted casting director Janet Hirshenson previously revealed that this almost wasn’t the case – as both Swayze and Goldberg originally weren’t in the mix for the roles.
Hirshenson shared that Goldberg’s audition actually took place in an airport, where Swayze and director Jerry Zucker flew to meet her while she was shooting another movie. The chemistry between the two actors was undeniable and the rest, as they say, is history.
It’s clear that Ghost holds a special place in Moore’s heart, as she has kept some iconic props from the set. And who can blame her? With such a talented cast and a timeless love story, it’s no wonder that the movie has become a beloved classic.
