My Daughter Left Me When I Was Most Vulnerable — Now She Wants to Reconnect

Goldie Hawn turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet alongside her 12‑year‑old granddaughter, Rio Hudson. The heartwarming duo charmed photographers with their sweet bond and striking family resemblance — but it wasn’t just the adorable appearance that had fans talking. Social media quickly lit up with reactions to Goldie’s noticeably different look, sparking a wave of curiosity and concern.
Goldie Hawn made a rare red carpet appearance in New York City for the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere, but it wasn’t just the movie people were talking about. The 79-year-old actress showed up with her 12-year-old granddaughter, Rio Hudson, and the internet can’t get enough of how much they look alike.
The event took place at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where Goldie showed up with her son Oliver Hudson (who stars in the film), his wife Erinn, and their three kids: Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio. Goldie looked as vibrant as ever in a colorful printed dress with blue accessories, while Rio rocked a yellow boho-style dress that totally matched her grandma’s free-spirited vibe.
And it looks like Rio might be ready to follow in the family’s Hollywood footsteps. With a star-studded crew that includes her grandma Goldie, dad Oliver, and aunt Kate Hudson, Rio’s red carpet moment might just be the beginning. The two posed together, hugged for photos, and gave off serious “mini-me” energy.
Fans couldn’t stop talking about their sweet bond, one commenter noted, “She has Goldie’s mouth”, or also “Looks like grannie.” Some people saw a bit of everyone in her, “She’s a mix between Goldie and Kate,” one fan observed, while another compared the kid to her aunt, “Oliver Hudson’s daughter looks a bit like Kate.”
However, not all the attention was positive. Some viewers criticized Goldie’s appearance and expressions. “That thing she does with her mouth is not necessary,” one person wrote. Another asked, “What is going on with her mouth?” Someone else bluntly asked, “What’s wrong with Goldie?”.
Still, many people focused on the heartwarming family moment. Comments like “OMG! Those genes... beautiful family,” flooded in, along with praise such as “Stunning looking family.”
Earlier this year, Hawn attended the Oscars with Kurt Russell. Even then, many fans grew concerned about her health, particularly noting the actress’s unusual facial expressions.
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?”
Goldie Hawn shared her secrets for looking and feeling her best at any age.
