This is what Gene Hackman looks like at the age of 93: the impressive photos of the Hollywood actor are the first after almost 20 years of his last role in the cinema

Unrecognizable, this is what the winner of two Oscars looks like, Gene Hackman at the age of 93. The Hollywood actor was busted for the first time in nearly 20 years and after his last screen appearance in the comedy film “Welcome to Mooseport”.

The actor who has been part of major film productions such as “Superman: the movie”, “The French Connection” and “Unforgiven”, appeared alone on Sunday, March 5, 2023, eating a sandwich, according to images taken by a photographer from the New York Post and which have been copied by various international media.

First, Gene Hackman was caught filling up his vehicle with gas in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shortly afterwards, he placed an order with a well-known American fast food restaurant, reports El Mundo.

The shocking images speak for themselves, they show a very different Gene Hackman than they were used to in the movies. Although he looks very thin despite his 93 years, “he is in great shape” and healthy, the Spanish media quotes.

At the time he was photographed, Hackman was wearing a black Columbia wool sweater over a gray long-sleeved T-shirt, pre-washed jeans and black sneakers, the Daily Mail describes. He wore black sunglasses and a khaki baseball cap as accessories. .

Gene Hackman career

Six decades of experience sums up Eugene Allen Hackman in his artistic career. In addition to being an actor, he was also a writer, winner of two Oscars (1971-1993), four Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild Award and two BAFTAs.

He took his first steps in acting when he was already 26 years old and began his studies at the Pasadena Playhouse School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles, where he met and befriended Dustin Hoffman.

Although he was unlikely to achieve success during his prep, Hackman was so firm on acting and his perseverance propelled him to fame in the 1970s.

In a 2004 interview with Larry King, Gene Hackman said he had no film projects ahead of him and his acting career was probably over. Four years later, at the age of 78, he confirmed that he would be leaving the industry.

He hasn’t been heard from since in 2011 until GQ magazine published an interview with the actor asking him if he wanted to make one more movie. “If maybe I could do it in my own house, without disturbing anything and just one or two people,” he replied, making it clear that he was not interested in it at the moment.
