Netizens are discussing Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s recent appearances during a date night. While many had harsh critiques to share, the two are no strangers to garnering strong opinions from the public.
Recently, Hollywood star couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell stepped out for date night in Los Angeles. Hand in hand and glowing under the soft gleam of the street lights, Russell and Hawn turned a simple night out into a quiet celebration of love that has stood the test of time. However, netizens were less fussed about their relationship and instead focused on their appearances, especially where Hawn was concerned.
Russell opted for a rugged yet relaxed ensemble — a navy-and-white flannel shirt left casually unbuttoned at the collar, paired with white pants that added a fresh contrast. His tousled silver hair and black-rimmed glasses framed his face, while his stride suggested the ease of a man content in his own skin.
Hawn followed closely beside him, wrapped in a sleek black outfit that balanced sophistication with understated charm.
Her straight blonde hair framed her warm, familiar smile that has lit up screens for generations, while a silver-studded handbag added a dash of sparkle to her otherwise monochrome outfit — subtle, but striking.
As they walked along the pavement outside the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi, with their hands intertwined, the couple exuded a calm assurance — a kind of unspoken confidence that comes not from performance but from presence.
Despite the couple’s quiet elegance and visible closeness, their appearance sparked a flurry of reactions online — some warm, others cutting. As images from the outing circulated across social platforms, many people wasted no time in sharing their unfiltered thoughts, particularly about Goldie Hawn.
“Their faces look weird,” one person remarked, setting the tone for a wave of blunt observations. Another exclaimed, “What happened to Goldie’s face, doesn’t look like her!!” to which someone responded, “Looks red and puffy.”
Echoing similar sentiments, a spectator added, “Her poor face 😢,” while another urged, “Goldie needs to leave the plastic surgery alone.”
Russell didn’t escape the scrutiny either. One person said the actor “doesn’t look well.” Another expressed concern more gently, “He looks a bit tired I hope there [sic] health is good. Much love to a terrific duo. ❤️
Amid the criticisms, however, a few fans offered a contrasting perspective, choosing to focus on the couple’s enduring bond. “Love never gets old,” one supporter noted, while a fellow admirer praised, “Still the hottest couple!🙌🔥.”
While reactions were certainly mixed, most comments focused on nitpicking at Hawn’s appearance, which is an occurrence that has happened before.
When the “Death Becomes Her” star went on vacation in Greece with Kurt Russell in 2022, donning a chic black one-piece swimsuit that showed off her legs, arms, and chest, online spectators criticized her appearance heavily.
The stunning actress, who was 77 then, looked fantastic in her swimsuit, which she coupled with some chic sunglasses. Hawn and Russell, who was shirtless and wore swimming trunks, enjoyed a ride on a speedboat.
As soon as pictures of the couple’s Greece vacation surfaced, people took to social media to hatefully comment over the pair’s appearance.
One of the vile comments that Hawn and Russell, who was 72 then, received read, “They look like they should be in a nursing home. They both look really aged, and I do understand they’re older, but [it] looks like they didn’t age as well as the article seems to intend to make us believe.”
Another mean-spirited person wrote, “No, not attractive. Look what happened to Goldie Hawn after she got her lips fattened. UGLY.”
More online observers shared harsh opinions about Hawn. One comment stated, “Nah, Goldie Hawn was kinda ugly to me when she was younger. 😭 She didn’t get cute until she was old.” Another person wrote, “Name a celebrity who is naturally ugly? — goldie hawn [sic].”
A different comment simply said, “Ugly hair. Goldie Hawn.” Someone else remarked, “Ew, ugly Goldie Hawn vibes,” while another critical comment read, “Goldie Hawn looks like an ugly swan. Not only her but many others in Hollywood & Bollywood need to learn how to age gracefully.”
Finally, one person exclaimed, “OMG – Goldie Hawn will give me nightmares with what she has done with her face…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
However, fans of Hawn and Russell were quick to come to their defense, showering them with outpourings of love. Many admirers highlighted how good the two looked as individuals and as a couple, saying they were made for each other.
One fan gushed, “Goldie Hawn has the best energy!✨✨✨If you could bottle her positive vibes and good energy and give it away the world would be a happier place! Wake up & breathe!❤️🙏.” Another supporter swooned, “Why is Goldie such a little sunbeam. [sic] She just makes you smile every time! Xx❤️”
Hawn and Russell give no attention to negative comments as they are known for their fun and carefree attitude that enables them to focus on living their lives to the fullest. Hawn, in particular, is known for her happy-go-lucky personality, which she continues to embrace fully to this day.
In that same vein, she has been especially outspoken about the fact that she is not fussed over getting older. Her attitude about aging is a notion that is considered a juxtaposition to the widely held rhetoric in society for women to constantly update their looks in order to appear younger.
Hawn’s view on embracing age is rooted in the undeniable fact that it is a part of life. She once noted, “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. It’s wonderful to know that you’re aging because that means you’re still on the planet, right?”
Hawn wants people to know that the perspective with which one looks at aging is imperative to how it then shapes your view of self as you age.
The “Overboard” actress has made it perfectly clear on several occasions that she intends to allow her body to age naturally. On such an occasion, during an interview with Allure, Hawn revealed that she had, in fact, never even colored her hair to prevent it from graying.
She always realized that she marched to the beat of her own drum, especially being a woman in Hollywood. In another candid interview with Bazaar, Hawn disclosed she had realized that women working in Tinseltown have a shelf-life that undeniably dictates the longevity of one’s career.
Of the whole ageism debate that tends to rear its ugly head from time to time regarding aging women in Hollywood, Hawn accepts the futility of fighting against the status quo.
As someone who describes herself as non-combative and not quick to anger, Hawn believes getting enraged by the age rhetoric in Hollywood is redundant and somewhat pointless.
The duo first met on the set of the film “One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.” Russell was 15 and Hawn was 22. Having joined her son on set, Russell’s mom had pointed to Hawn out of a group of girls who were auditioning for the movie. His mother had predicted that Hawn would get the role, and she did.
