LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Whoopi Goldberg, 67, has a wet sense of humor. The legendary actress revealed her secret to mental health is to “try to laugh and pee.”

Goldberg, 67, said that she is at “a certain age” where she can’t control her bladder if she gets “too much fun.”

Whoopi Goldberg has peed herself 'a lot' this year 

But, the 'View' co-host doesn’t let that stop her from enjoying herself. “You go, ‘Oops, gotta go!’” she told Page Six at Mind’s 11th annual Revels & Revelations Gala on Monday, October 9.

Goldberg couldn’t recall to the outlet how many times she had peed herself in the past year, but she admitted it was “a lot.”

Whoopi Goldberg unites with Robin Williams’  children

At the charity event, the 'Sister Act' star also reunited with two of Robin Williams’ children, Zak, 40, and Zelda, 34, and his second wife, Marsha Garces Williams, who is a close friend of Goldberg.

Williams, who died by suicide in August 2014 after struggling with depression and Lewy body dementia, was a longtime collaborator and friend of Goldberg.

“I watched them growing up,” Goldberg told Page Six of Zak and Zelda.

“It’s hard when people have gone, and then you see the lights that they left behind. It’s kind of wonderful," she said. Williams also had a son named Cody, 31.

Whoopi Goldberg's statement received mixed reactions from netizens

While there was quite criticism about why would people need to hear this information, some reacted by saying that her weight was to be blamed while some even termed her as 'rude.'

"Gross, keep it to yourself," a user commented on Instagram on the news report while another added, "She’s irritating." 

Another user added, "That’s so f**k disgusting why share that." A second user wrote, "Can this creature please go away?"

However, a few people said it was common and "happens to almost every woman who’s given birth." Spreading positivity, one user commented, "Love you, Whoopi."
