When Gene Hackman and his rarely seen wife were spotted out in public, they garnered attention due to his remarkably slender appearance, which led to many comments about how different he looked and how fans hardly recognized him.
After many years of retirement, Gene Hackman, at 94 years old, made a historic public appearance with his wife, Betsy Arakawa. Hackman wore a green-gray cargo pants, a gray vest, and a checkered button-down shirt. He accessorized with sunglasses and a cap.
While still mobile, Hackman used a cane in one hand and held onto his wife with the other during their outing. This public appearance held special significance as it was their first together in over two decades.
The actor’s presence in the film “The French Connection” has prompted a plethora of remarks over his appearance on social media. His obviously fragile look has drawn attention from many, eliciting a variety of responses.
Social media comments have made statements like “It’s sad to see him getting older.” “That doesn’t glance like him one particular little bit,” said some others. “I like him, but that seems to be almost nothing like #genehackman.” I never would’ve acknowledged him, whereas,” they said, expressing shock at his presence. As one particular criticism put it, “It feels like the wind could take him away.”
