Michael J. Fox’s Biggest Career Regret: Turning Down “Ghost” Opposite Whoopi Goldberg

Actor Michael J. Fox recently appeared on ABC’s “The View” and revealed his biggest career regret to actress Whoopi Goldberg. It turns out that Fox had once turned down a film role opposite Goldberg in the hit 1990 movie “Ghost.”

Regretting the Missed Opportunity

During the show, Goldberg asked Fox if there were any roles he regretted turning down. Fox replied, “There was a chance to work with you that I missed.” He went on to explain that he had been approached about the role in “Ghost” but had turned it down, saying, “It’ll never work. Whoopi’s great, but it’ll never work.”

Goldberg was shocked by the revelation, but she promised Fox that they would “find something” to work on together in the future.

Dealing with Parkinson’s Disease

Aside from discussing his career regrets, Fox also opened up about his battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was diagnosed with the disease when he was just 29 years old and has continued to work for many years despite his symptoms.
