Goldie Hawn Opens Up About Health Struggle During Oscars Presentation
Actress Goldie Hawn revealed her ongoing health challenge while presenting an award at the Oscars on Sunday night. Sharing the stage with actor Andrew Garfield, the star of “Death Becomes Her” candidly admitted that she was struggling with her duties and sought Garfield’s help, according to reports.
At 79, Goldie faced difficulties reading from the teleprompter, prompting her to ask Garfield for assistance shortly after the presentation began. “I was so lucky to make movies… and making people laugh,” she said, then turned to Andrew with, “Okay, sweetheart, can you read that? I can’t read that,” before sharing, “I’m completely blind. I mean, I am! Cataracts.”
Cataracts, commonly affecting older adults, result in cloudy lenses that obscure vision. Garfield quickly stepped in, reassuring her, “Okay, I’ve got you,” before taking over the presenting duties. He also expressed his honor in sharing the stage with Goldie, saying, “Goldie, can I tell you something really quickly? There is a person who gave my mother the most joy—tonight, I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn.”
Reactions varied, with some viewers finding the moment awkward, while many fans on X celebrated the authenticity of the exchange, appreciating Goldie’s vulnerability and the kindness shown by Andrew.
