Fans call Goldie Hawn, 78, ‘ugly’ in swimsuit photos, Kurt Russell defends her, says she’s beautiful

Armed with an enviable level of confidence, Goldie Hawn continues to wow fans with her grace, denying online critics the opportunity to break her down with hate.

The actor, who admits “there’s a certain reality” for aging starlets in Hollywood, refuses to be angered when trolls slam her with attacks and call her “ugly.”

It’s no surprise the 78-year-old woman isn’t bothered, she is after all one of the industry’s most famed actors, and she’s coupled with the adoring Kurt Russell, who can’t help but gush over her beauty.

Keep reading to learn why online critics are slamming Goldie Hawn!

As the matriarch of a celebrity family – her legacy includes celebrated actors Oliver (47) and Kate Hudson (45), and Wyatt Russell (37) – Goldie Hawn is a force to be reckoned.

In her earlier years, there was no stopping Hawn, whose girl-next-door look landed her starring roles in films like Stephen Spielberg’s The Sugarland Express (1972), Private Benjamin (1980), and 1987’s Overboard with long-time partner Kurt Russell, whom she’s been coupled with since 1983.

Twice divorced before connecting with the now 73-year-old Russell, Hawn told Woman’s Day in 2007 why the two 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?”

And Kate, who won a Golden Globe for her performance in Almost Famous, insists the two “complement each other so well.”

“Mom is kinetic and she is a butterfly. And Pa likes his family and his home. But when they’re together, it’s so powerful,” says Hudson of her mom and stepfather, who share son Wyatt, also an actor.

‘Wonderful to know that you’re aging’
After almost five decades of acting and bearing three children, the Oscar-winning Hawn is still stunning, her famous golden locks all natural.

“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,” the star told People. “It’s wonderful to know that you’re aging because that means you’re still on the planet, right?”

But she is very aware of the age bias that exists in the industry and among its fans.

Speaking of the ageism that exists in Hollywood, Hawn said it is 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 tells 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.”

And though the star of The First Wives Club embraces aging, she 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 covering a one-piece black bathing suit, while her leading man opted for a simple pair of 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 applauding the couple for their confidence and enduring love, the online community did not hold back with attacks on the beautiful blonde and her handsome beau.

“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 [well],” writes on critic.

“No, not attractive,” shares a second, while a third pens, “Name a celebrity who is naturally ugly? Goldie Hawn.”

Another adds, “OMG – Goldie Hawn will give me nightmares with what she has done with her face.”

‘So cute together’
Inspired by their relationship, many fans defended the pair, who most recently appeared together as Mr. and Mrs. Claus in The Christmas Chronicles franchise.

One offers, “She looks good…Trolls are gonna get there too and probably won’t look as good.”

“Amazing for your ages. Loving each other still is testament to your commitment to each of you,” shares a thoughtful netizen.

Another pens, “They are so cute together now that’s what love is all about growing older together Goldie is as beautiful as ever.”

But the most loving comments are delivered by Hawn’s lifetime partner.

“The other night we were going to go have dinner. He looks at me and goes, ‘You’re unbelievable,’” the star of Snatched recalls. “He said ‘I cannot believe how [beautiful] you look.’”

And in 2017, when the two actors each received their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the ceremony turned out to be what Hawn called a “lovefest.”

At the event, after sharing a kiss next to their side-by-side stars, Russell, speaking to his gorgeous partner, said in his speech: “To you, I owe my wonderful life…Simply put Goldie, I cherish you. All the stars in the sky or on the boulevard can’t hold a candle to that.” He continued, “There’s no one else I’d rather be next to for all of that than Goldie Hawn.”
