Whoopi Goldberg Says She Likes Being ‘Eaten From Time to Time’

The actress, who turned 69, had her face printed on a wheel of cheese.

Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her birthday on The View.

On Wednesday, the actress turned 69 years old and took the opportunity to promote some of her favorite things on the show, including luggage, olive oil, coffee, and cheese. The last item was the high point though, as Whoopi’s face was printed on the cheese wheel, something she admitted she “always wanted.”

The show then got a little spicey when Goldberg confessed to her co-host Sara Haines that she likes “to be eaten from time to time.” Goldberg’s proclamation caused Haines’ eyes to widen before she jokingly exited the set, and Goldberg pretended to be shocked.

The interaction prompted laughter from the audience. Haines quickly returned to the set and hugged Goldberg.

"Never mind!” Goldberg exclaimed. “This is a wheel of authentic Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy, and this has been aged for 24 months and it’s a testament to Italian tradition and quality,” Goldberg said, describing the cheese.

She continued, “So if you’d like a chance to win a wheel just like this…” with Haines interjecting, “and eat Whoopi Goldberg!”
