You'll Never Believe Whom Whoopi Goldberg Offered A 'Sister Act 3' Cameo
HuffPost
The EGOT winner recently fulfilled her decadelong quest to meet one world-renowned figure — and even handed him a copy of the "Sister Act" soundtrack.
Whoopi Goldberg has finally met the pope and said he “seems to be a bit of a fan.”
The EGOT winner took a break Wednesday from her co-hosting duties on “The View” and regaled Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” about her decadelong attempt to meet Pope Francis. When asked if he really was a fan, Goldberg cheekily replied: “‘Sister Act,’ hello?”
The actor even claimed she offered Francis a cameo in “Sister Act 3,” which has remained in pre-production since 2020. While she joked that Francis said “he’d see what his time was like,” Goldberg wasn’t joking about her faith.
“I wanted to thank him,” she told Fallon about seeking out a meeting. “I’ve been trying to meet up with him for about 10 years, but every time I’d say, ‘OK, we’ll do it,’ it was like I’d step in something and then I couldn’t do it, they’d cancel the appearance.”
“But [this time],” Goldberg continued, “I stayed really good and I didn’t get into any trouble.”
