Goldie Hawn stole the spotlight at the 2025 Oscars—but for reasons no one expected. While the 79-year-old icon was on stage to present alongside Andrew Garfield, a surprising moment unfolded: she paused mid-script, admitting she couldn’t read the teleprompter. Though Garfield quickly stepped in, the incident sparked a wave of online buzz—not just about the on-stage stumble but also about Goldie’s noticeably changed appearance.

Andrew Garfield proved to be the ultimate gentleman at the 2025 Academy Awards when he stepped in to assist Goldie Hawn after she admitted she couldn’t read the teleprompter due to cataracts. The 79-year-old star, presenting alongside Garfield, paused mid-speech and asked for his help, prompting the British actor to smoothly take over.

But the night didn’t just see him saving the script—Garfield also took a moment to thank Hawn for bringing joy to his late mother. "Goldie, can I tell you something really quickly?" he said, his voice filled with emotion. "There is a person who gave my mother during her life the most joy and comfort—and tonight, I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn."

His words left the audience—and Hawn—visibly moved, turning a simple awards presentation into one of the most heartfelt moments of the night.

However, Goldie turned heads at the 2025 Academy Awards in a show-stopping, butter-yellow Dolce & Gabbana gown covered in Swarovski crystals. The strapless dress fit like a dream, cinching at the waist with elegant ruching and draping perfectly to the floor.

Hawn was all glamour, and she didn’t walk the carpet alone. Hand in hand with her partner of over 40 years, Kurt Russell, the couple radiated warmth and effortless style, proving once again why they’re one of Hollywood’s most adored pairs.

But people weren’t only talking about Goldie Hawn’s diagnosis — her appearance also sparked discussion. There were many positive comments praising Goldie and Kurt, calling them youthful and their favorite couple. Others, however, criticized the actress’s looks. One wrote, “Beautiful couple and she is a beautiful human being! I think she has aged very well!”

But another one noted, “It’s a pity Goldie is so over-operated she almost can’t laugh any more.” The third one added, “I love Goldie but all that work in her face through the years caught up with her! OMG her face and lips look awful. She looks 100 years old poor thing.”

Many people couldn’t help but comment on her mouth and its odd movements. One person asked, “What did she do to her mouth?!?” Another observed, “Kurt looks great, but Goldie looks so altered—almost like she can’t move her mouth.” There was even a question raised: “Has she had a stroke?” Someone else remarked, “He’s aged well, but Goldie, not so much.”
