Hollywood blonde bombshell, mother, and grandmother Goldie Hawn is now 77, and her dashing beau Kurt Russell is 72. The happy couple was recently 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 iconic couple is 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 to this day fully.
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:
“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 that she intends to allow her body to age naturally on several occasions. 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 had 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 that 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 when it comes to 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 resolution, and she very much doubts there to be a resolution in the end. This spawns her embracing nature toward aging. Although the “Death Becomes Her” star does not care about getting older, a plethora of people feel otherwise.
As soon as pictures of the couple’s Greece vacation surfaced, Twitter users took to social media to hatefully comment over the star’s appearance. Many mean-spirited people wasted no time in calling Hawn ugly:
“No, not attractive. Look what happened to Goldie Hawn after she got her lips fattened. UGLY.”…CONTINUE READING
