For celebrities, being photographed is a pretty normal occurrence — and for someone like Goldie Hawn, it’s no different. Hawn, who has been in the spotlight since 1969 when she appeared in Cactus Flower, is no stranger to public scrutiny.
The actress only grew more famous over the years. She later married Gus Trikonis and then Bill Hudson, both of whom also worked in entertainment.
Eventually, Goldie Hawn’s children followed in her footsteps and became actors as well. So it’s no surprise that she’s used to being photographed whenever she’s out and about.

The 78‑year‑old actress was photographed by paparazzi while on vacation in her swimsuit, and the image sparked plenty of reactions online. Many internet users had strong opinions about her appearance.
Hawn has been with actor Kurt Russell since 1983. The two share one child, and Russell also helped raise Goldie’s children from her previous marriage, Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson.
One user criticized her lack of a tan, writing, “I love her but I hate the color and style of this swim suit I believe a little tanning cream just saying.”
Others commented on her choice of swimwear, with one person saying, “There comes a time when you should not wear some suits or shorts anymore.”
But many defended her, praising how great she looks at 78. One user wrote, “This is an amazing photo! I hope like HELL when I’m 78 I can stroll the beach in a bathing suit and a tiny cover and not gaf what anyone else thinks! I think she’s beautiful!”
Some were frustrated by the negativity: “My God people, leave her alone. She looks great for her age. End of story!”
Hawn herself has no issue with aging. “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,” she told People. “It’s wonderful to know that you’re aging because that means you’re still on the planet, right?”
Still, she’s well aware of the age bias that exists in Hollywood and among fans.
“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.”
Even with the occasional negative comments, it’s clear she’s able to rise above them.
