Actress Whoopi Goldberg recently opened up about her experience filming the hit movie Sister Act 2, and let's just say, it was quite the adventure. Goldberg, known for her iconic roles, revealed that while on set, she and her co-stars took a little detour to a porn shop - in full nun costumes.
Goldberg reprised her role as Deloris Van Cartier, also known as Sister Mary Clarence, in the beloved sequel to the 1992 film. She was joined by an all-star cast including Kathy Najimy, Dame Maggie Smith, Wendy Makkena, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and a young Lauryn Hill. The movie, titled Back in the Habit, was released 30 years ago, but it seems like just yesterday for the cast as they reunited on a recent episode of The View.
During the reunion, the women reminisced about their time on set and shared some behind-the-scenes secrets. Wendy Makkena, who played Sister Mary Robert, couldn't help but bring up a hilarious memory from their downtime on set. "I don't know if we should talk about it," she began, as Goldberg and Najimy giggled beside her. "We ended up, the three of us, going into a porn shop...It was a little seedy."
But the fun didn't stop there. "The lady behind the counter, who was clearly an ex-porn star, a beautiful red-headed lady. She looked at us and said, 'Where are you from? What church are you from?'" Makkena continued. Goldberg quickly jumped in and responded with a witty comeback, saying they were from the "order of Sister Mary Kay" - a nod to the cosmetics company.
The hosts of The View couldn't get enough of the hilarious confession, with one even jokingly saying they would have to go to church after hearing it. The reunion also included a performance of the movie's iconic songs "Joyful, Joyful" and "Oh Happy Day," proving that this cast still has the same magic they did 30 years ago.
Goldberg also took the opportunity to give fans an update on the highly anticipated Sister Act 3 sequel. "Don't forget, Sister Act 3 is in the works. The script is in and I can't wait for the day I can say, 'Come along for the ride,' because we got that green light!" she shared with excitement. However, it's still unclear when the film will be released and if the original cast will be returning.
The actress also made a special appearance on The One Show in 2022, where she took the opportunity to try and convince Dame Maggie Smith to reprise her role as Mother Superior. "Maggie Smith, we have this new script. If you will do it, I want you to please do it," Goldberg pleaded. "I will shoot whatever you want if you say yes. I love you." It seems like the cast is just as eager for the reunion as fans are.
Goldberg's recent revelations about her time filming Sister Act 2 just go to show that even after 30 years, this movie is still a fan-favorite and holds a special place in the hearts of the cast. Who knows what other secrets and memories they have from their time on set.
