And Thompson, who starred alongside Swayze in 1984′s Red Dawn, is convinced her old pal will successfully fight the disease – because of his dancing skills!
She says, “I’ve known him for so long, he’s a great guy, and I love him so much. He was such a great dancer. He will be resilient – us dancers are tough!” Earlier on Thursday, Whoopi Goldberg sent her Ghost co-star Swayze her best during the live broadcast of U.S. TV show The View.
