Whoopi Goldberg (68) has a sporty family. The actress belongs to the absolute Hollywood elite. Films like “Sister Act”, “Ghost – Message from Sam” and “The Color Purple” are absolute cult. She has also received awards such as the Golden Globe and even an Oscar for her performance. However, less is known about her private life. But apparently it has Whoopi a real top athlete in her family – who she knew nothing about!
Get this surprise Whoopi now revealed on the show “The View”. After the historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. searched for secret relatives of the Hollywood star on his show “Finding your Roots” years ago, a DNA test has only now revealed an unexpected relationship. “You have a DNA cousin, my dear…Tony Gonzalez is your DNA cousin,” reveals the researcher. Whoppi clearly can’t believe she’s related to the former NFL star. “That’s my cousin?” she asks with her mouth open and immediately invites her new cousin to the show.
But who exactly is Tony Gonzalez? The 47-year-old is a retired football professional. During his career, he played, among other things, twelve years with the Kansas City Chiefs and five years with the Atlanta Falcons as a tight end. He is currently said to hold several records in this position. After retiring, he now works as a football analyst and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
