Whoopi Goldberg Takes Break for Obama Film
17 Sep
Summary
- Whoopi Goldberg is filming a Netflix movie produced by the Obamas.
- She's learning paddleboard yoga for a specific movie scene.
- Former co-hosts will guest host during her two-week absence.
Whoopi Goldberg will be taking a temporary break from her role on The View. The absence is to accommodate her filming schedule for the upcoming Netflix movie 'Women Like Us.' This project is notable for being produced by former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
Goldberg shared that the film centers on five women celebrating friendship and the changes that come with aging. To prepare for a specific scene, she is learning to perform yoga while standing on a paddleboard, a task she finds challenging but is determined to master.
During Goldberg's two-week absence, several familiar faces will be stepping in to co-host. Former View co-hosts Lisa Ling, Star Jones, Sherri Shepherd, and Debbie Matenopoulos are scheduled to fill in. Longtime co-host Joy Behar will serve as the moderator.
Goldberg has previously taken breaks from the show to pursue other acting projects. She has expressed that The View allows her the flexibility to do so, although she has also humorously commented on needing the job to support herself.
