Fans Criticize Goldie Hawn, 78, Over Swimsuit Photos; Kurt Russell Defends Her, Calling Her Beautiful
|Armed with unwavering confidence, Goldie Hawn continues to impress fans with her grace, brushing off online critics’ hateful comments.
The actor, acknowledging “a certain reality” for aging starlets in Hollywood, remains unperturbed by trolls who label her “ugly.”
It’s no surprise the 78-year-old remains unbothered. As one of the industry’s most renowned actors, she enjoys the unwavering support of her adoring partner, Kurt Russell, who frequently praises her beauty.
Keep reading to learn why online critics are targeting Goldie Hawn!
As the matriarch of a celebrity family, with a legacy that includes celebrated actors Oliver (47) and Kate Hudson (45), and Wyatt Russell (37), Goldie Hawn is a formidable figure.
In her earlier years, Hawn’s girl-next-door charm secured her starring roles in films such as Steven Spielberg’s *The Sugarland Express* (1972), *Private Benjamin* (1980), and 1987’s *Overboard* with long-time partner Kurt Russell, whom she has been with since 1983.
Twice divorced before connecting with the now 73-year-old Russell, Hawn explained to Woman’s Day in 2007 why they chose not to marry: “We have done just perfectly without marrying. I already feel devoted, and isn’t that what marriage is supposed to do?”
Kate Hudson, who won a Golden Globe for her performance in *Almost Famous*, insists the two “complement each other so well.”
“Mom is full of energy and as graceful as a butterfly. Pa, on the other hand, loves his family and his home. Together, they create something truly powerful,” says Hudson about her mom and stepfather, who have a son, Wyatt, also an actor.
‘Wonderful to know that you’re aging’
After nearly five decades in the acting world and raising three children, the Oscar-winning Hawn remains stunning with her signature natural golden locks.
“Getting older is a fact of life. By living mindfully, you understand that there are many transitions in life, and you just have to go through them,” Hawn shared with People. “It’s wonderful to know that you’re aging because that means you’re still on the planet, right?”
However, she is acutely aware of the age bias that exists in the industry and among its fans.
Speaking of the ageism that persists in Hollywood, Hawn remarked that it’s a battle women will never stop fighting.
“You think you’re going to fight the system? You think you’re going to prove to Hollywood when you hit 45 that you’re still a sexy, viable object? No. There’s a certain reality,” Hawn told Bazaar. “Does it make me angry? No. I’m not an angry person. I’m not a militant person. Anger doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s not productive.”
Despite embracing aging, the star of *The First Wives Club* can’t escape the flood of hate that appears on social media.
‘Should be in a nursing home’
In 2022, the happy couple jetted off to Greece and were captured in several photos enjoying some seaside fun.
Hawn sported a chic black and white polka dot sundress over a one-piece black bathing suit, while her leading man opted for simple black and white board shorts.
The grandparents, who looked like they were still in their honeymoon phase, slipped into a speedboat off the coast of Skiathos, Greece, for a ride through the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
Instead of celebrating the couple for their confidence and enduring love, the online community chose to unleash a barrage of attacks on the beautiful blonde and her handsome partner.
“They look like they belong in a retirement home. They both appear significantly aged, and while I acknowledge they’re older, it seems like they haven’t aged gracefully,” one critic remarks.
“No, not appealing at all,” shares another, while a third comments, “Can you name a celebrity who aged naturally? Goldie Hawn.”
Another commenter adds, “OMG – Goldie Hawn’s appearance will haunt my dreams with what she has done to her face.”
Yet amidst the criticism, many fans found inspiration in their relationship, defending the pair who recently portrayed Mr. and Mrs. Claus in The Christmas Chronicles franchise.
One commenter offers, “She looks great… Trolls will age too, and they probably won’t look as good.”
“Absolutely incredible considering your ages. Still loving each other is a testament to your commitment to one another,” shares a compassionate internet user.
Another writes, “They’re adorable together; that’s what true love is all about—growing old together. Goldie is as stunning as ever.”
However, the most endearing remarks come from Hawn’s lifelong partner.
“The other night, we were getting ready to go out for dinner. He looks at me and says, ‘You’re astonishing,’” recalls the star of Snatched. “He said, ‘I can’t believe how beautiful you look.’”
Goldie Hawn as a 78-year-old is a testament to grace, beauty, and enduring talent. Her presence in Hollywood, both on and off the screen, exemplifies resilience and timeless elegance.
The love and admiration shared between Hawn and Kurt Russell, especially evident during their joint Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, serve as an inspiration for lasting partnerships and genuine affection.
Hawn’s age has only enhanced her charm, wisdom, and contribution to the entertainment industry. It’s heartwarming to witness such a profound connection between two individuals who have shared a lifetime of experiences together.
Let’s celebrate Goldie Hawn’s remarkable journey and continue to cherish her contributions to cinema and beyond.
