Most of us probably have a pretty lop-sided attitude when it comes to painting a picture of Hollywood and celebrities. I’m the first to admit that I sometimes style myself on these celebrities.

That in itself isn’t strange perhaps; we humans have a tendency to imitate each other when it comes to clothes, interests and appearance.

Celebrities are often seen as perfect beauties without any flaws or errors. They always look great when we see them on film, and whether it be on the red carpet, in a photoshoot or on the streets, they just have this flawless air.

But every now and then we get a sneak peek into what celebrities really look like – without the make-up and the flattering lights and the fancy clothes. We’ve seen several such examples in recent years and it’s only then that we realize, thankfully, that celebrities are also just completely normal people and not super-humans.

Goldie Hawn, 74, has always been one of my absolute favorite actresses. Her infectious smile, wonderful charm and talent have captivated millions of people over the years. Few are able do it – but Goldie has managed to maintain her movie star status and popularity for over three decades.

Ever since her breakthrough, Goldie has been praised for her natural looks and her golden, blonde hair. In April 2020, Goldie was on the front cover when People Magazine’s “Beautiful Issue” celebrated 30 years.

Today, the peace-loving blonde serves as a true role model of inner beauty – Goldie is a confident and strong woman who has aged with dignity.

But that wasn’t always the case.

”You know, when I was younger I was flat chested, I was coming in to my hormones so my face was all over the place, I was awkward. I wasn’t asked out by boys and I didn’t think anybody would ever love me. It’s the hardest time for a girl to feel good about herself – and often times the girls who do feel good about themselves are the early developers,” she told Beauty Heaven.

As Goldie became more and more famous and got bigger roles in movies, she quickly learned to accept herself. There were many critics who had all sorts of opinions about her – which forced Goldie to find her inner strength.

Otherwise, people’s opinions would have eaten her up.

”Some people think that you’re beautiful; some people think you’re ugly. They voice a lot of opinions, so you then have to become resilient to it – and to do that you have to learn and to understand who you are and what you really think about yourself. And that’s where I think I learnt about my inner beauty,” she says.

A few years ago, the Award winning actress appeared in public without make-up, in broad daylight. Many people reacted to the photo because Goldie didn’t look anything near the actress we have become accustomed to over the years. Without make up, she looked almost unrecognizable (yet the paparazzi managed to catch her)
