Whoopi Goldberg recalls mooning Patrick Swayze

Washington (ANI): Actress Whoopi Goldberg remembers late actor Patrick Swayze as a “funny man" who repeatedly flashed his bare bottom while she shot for their hit movie Ghost. The 53-year-old American actress insists she has fond memories of their time together.

"Patrick was a really good man, a funny man and one to whom I owe much that I can't ever repay. I believe in Ghost's message, so he'll always be near," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. She recalls, "The camera would be on me and he'd be off to the side and he'd moon me! It was the greatest."

She credits Swayze with helping her win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Ghost. "Because of Patrick Swayze, I got that movie Ghost. Because of Patrick Swayze, I have an Oscar." Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 57 on Monday.
