Roy is the name Goldie's character, Joanna, guessed her 'son' is called after she is quizzed by onscreen 'husband' – and real-life partner, Kurt Russell, who played Dean. In the hit 1987 film, Joanna loses her memory and carpenter Dean tries to brainwash her into believing that she is his wife, Annie, and the mother of his four sons.
Many of Goldie's fans were quick to react over the pup's moniker, with one commenting: "Haha Roy... I just had an Overboard flashback." A second wrote: "Haha like in Overboard… 'What’s his name?' 'Roy?' He’s adorable!!!!"

In real-life, Goldie and Kurt have been together for 37 years, and last month she lifted the lid on their successful relationship, admitting you have to keep hold of the element of surprise.

The couple haven't tied the knot despite being together for nearly three decades. But don’t expect that situation to change any time soon.
"We have no plans," Goldie said when asked if she and Kurt would be walking down the aisle. "I like the idea of being Kurt’s girlfriend, and vice versa. We're happy!"
