Whoopi Goldberg wants nothing to do with holograms in the afterlife!
Although holograms of dead celebrities are gradually becoming popular, the famous stand-up comedian is so disgusted by the idea of becoming one that he is said to have opposed it in his will.
He revealed the good news during a dialogue about a Michigan court that upheld Aretha Franklin’s handwritten will found under one of the late singer’s couch cushions.
Whoopi Goldberg Leads People Plan Hologram Concert For Her
Since faking death has become one of humanity’s greatest goals, the advent of holographic concerts that allow fans to connect with their favorite stars through the celebrity’s body of work is quickly becoming a welcome technological advance. Even so, Goldberg vehemently rejected any idea that his likeness would appear in a digital avatar after his death.

He opened up about the steps he’s taken to make sure he stays dead during Wednesday’s episode of “The View.” In a clip shared via the daytime talk show’s Twitter page, the “Sister Act” actress is heard saying:
“I will only become dust in the wind. I will go all over the world; I will be everywhere. I might be in your backyard — I don’t know. I don’t want people to feel obligated to come to the cemetery. If you want to remember me, remember me.”
After co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin talked about the posthumous exploitation of actress Marilyn Monroe because she didn’t control how she wanted to be portrayed posthumously, Joy Behar asked the five-woman panel if they cared about their portrayal.
In response to the question, Goldberg stated, “I don’t want to be a hologram. That has been in my will for 15 years.” She later admitted that “They didn’t ask you, that’s the thing,” after Behar insisted that no one had “really asked” her if she wanted to “be a hologram again.”
“They just do it, and then you go – ‘Hey, isn’t it Tupac? Wait for a while.’ I don’t want that. It’s kind of weird, creepy,” the EGOT queen explained further.
The conversation soon ended after Griffin revealed that it’s okay to make holographic recordings after people’s deaths if their estate allows it, and “A Little Bit of Heaven” said: “My estate doesn’t want that. My estate wants to be left alone.”

Goldberg is the latest A-lister to publicly denounce wanting a hologram, following singer-songwriter Dolly Parton’s recent declaration. Per PEOPLEThe “Islands in the Stream” hitmaker insisted last week:
“I feel like I’ve left a great job. I have to decide how much high-tech stuff I want to be involved with [with] because I don’t want to leave my soul on this earth. I think with some of these things I will be here forever.”

He then jokingly shared that as far as the fans getting the hologram concert were concerned, “everything” about it, including “any intelligence,” was artificial.

In December 2022, PEOPLE reported that Goldberg had informed “The View” co-panelists that he would block any attempt to create a biopic in his honor. The topic came up as the woman talked about the controversial Netflix movie, “Blonde,” which details the life and times of the late Monroe.
Sharing that he had previously spoken to the 67-year-old on a topic related to his life, Sunny Hostin stated, “It sounds horrible, but I talked to Whoopi, and I said that she’s so famous that when she dies, people will make movie.”

However, before the lawyer could finish his thoughts, Goldberg interjected, “Actually, they don’t. They won’t make a movie. Because in my will it says, ‘Unless you talk to my family, try.'”
“And that’s what needs to be done,” Hostin chimed in approvingly. Meanwhile, Andrew Dominik, the director of “Blonde” has addressed the backlash the biopic received earlier in the same month, claiming:
“Now we live in a time when it’s important to present women as empowered, and they want to reinvent Marilyn Monroe as an empowered woman. That’s what they want to see and if you don’t show it to them, it hurts them. Which is kind of weird because he’s dead.”
