Whoopi Goldberg stopped dating younger men because her boyfriend hadn't heard of The Beatles

Whoopi Goldberg stopped dating younger men after finding out her boyfriend hadn’t heard of The Beatles.

The 65-year-old ‘Sister Act’ star was involved in a discussion about age-gap relationships on television programme ‘The View’ and explained why she decided to stop “doing lots of things with younger folks”

She said: “Let me tell you why I stopped doing lots of things with younger folks.

“I went out with a younger dude and he said, ‘I can’t believe this.’

“I said, ‘What are you talking about?’

“He said, ‘I did not know that Paul McCartney had another band.’

“And you kind of go, ‘The Beatles?

“You’ve never heard of The Beatles?’

“‘No!'”

And she went on to explain that constantly having to “impart” information can become “tiring”.

She added: “So you have to know when you’re going younger, there’s a lot of information that you have to impart.

“And sometimes it’s tiring.”

But she did admit that she won’t completely rule out dating younger men in the future because she often finds them more attractive and it depends on her “mood”.

She said: “But then there’s the other way where you’re like, “Yeah, you’re younger, but you look good!

“So you never know.”

“It depends on my mood.

“Because it’s about the person.

“Sometimes you meet somebody who is younger than you and… look, it would be perfect if everybody was well matched and well put together, but they’re not.

“And you find it where you find it, and it may last a long time or it may not.”
