Hollywood blonde bombshell, mother, and grandmother Goldie Hawn is now 78, and her dashing beau Kurt Russell is 73. In 2022, the happy couple was spotted enjoying some seaside fun on a vacation trip to Greece.
Hawn sported a chic black one-piece swimsuit that showed off her legs, arms, and chest, while Russell adorned some black and white board shorts.
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, Twitter users 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.”
Other several mean-spirited people wasted no time as they wrote, “No, not attractive. Look what happened to Goldie Hawn after she got her lips fattened. UGLY.”

More online users shared harsh opinions about Goldie 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 user asked, “Name a celebrity who is naturally ugly? — goldie hawn.”

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 user exclaimed, “OMG – Goldie Hawn will give me nightmares with what she has done with her face…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

.”

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” star 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.

She believes that as many times as the battle has tried to be fought, there has yet to be a solution, and she very much doubts there to be one in the end. This spawns her embracing nature toward aging.
Furthermore, Hawn’s biggest fan, partner, Russell makes her feel loved and adored. The happy couple has been in love and committed to each other for 40 years, and still treat their relationship as though just first fell in love.

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.

The first time Russell saw Hawn, he was instantly drawn to her. The “Escape From New York” actor described her as very good-looking. He recalled, “I thought she was awfully attractive. You couldn’t miss her. She just had this energy about her.”

For Hawn and Russell, their love transcends the traditional stamp of certified approval that tends to come with officiating a marriage. The lovebirds have been together for four decades now and have not tied the knot by choice.

Regardless of not being wed, the couple has created a close-knit family with the blending of their joint child, Wyatt Russell, and their children from their previous marriages – Kate and Oliver Hudson, and Boston Russell.
The adored couple say there is no official secret to staying together for as long as they have, and credit their unwavering desire for each other as the basis for their long-lasting love.
Kurt Russell is Hawn’s incredibly affirmative partner. While speaking to People magazine a few years back, she shared some swooning details about how beautiful Russell makes her feel.
Hawn divulged, “The other night, we were going to go have dinner. He looks at me and goes, ‘You’re unbelievable.’ He said, ‘I cannot believe how [beautiful] you look.’”
Hawn and Russell’s love continues to grow strong and blossom. The happy couple remains unfazed by harsh public opinion over their appearances. Hawn continues to embrace her flawless aging and encourages other women as an advocate for letting nature take its course.
