French Connection legend Gene Hackman gets dragged by tabloids for looking "scruffy" in public. He's 94, and was getting fuel & a coffee at a gas station. Think the guy deserves some slack...

If you reach 80+ the only thing you deserve is respect

Too right.

Why the hell is person filming, breathing like they're wanking outside the window of an all girls slumber party like it's a 70s horror film 😬

Give this legend a break. How would you look at 94? At least he cannstill walk to a gas station and get himself a coffee. So he is still mentally capable to walk around. At that age I wouldn’t care how I look.

You should move that well at 94 years old…

I think most of us would be lucky if we got to 94 and were still able to drive/run around getting gas and coffee.

Rob Boyd, Esq2 years ago

Id settle for that!

Jeez you'd find me wearing the same sweats/hoody most days after work, and same dog walking gear most days. Trying to embarrass a man of his age, who has worked to bring joy to many with his catalogue of films... Shame

William Friedkin was a fearless director. His filmography absolutely holds up as well as anyone’s, including and especially The French Connection. Gene Hackman & Friedkin were a match made in heaven. They gave us one of the most memorable chase sequences in film history together.

GENE HACKMAN was behind the wheel for much of The French Connection's legendary car chase, hitting speeds up to 90mph. The moment he crashes into another car was real - a civilian drove in unexpectedly and Hackman ploughed into him.

My deepest condolences to all who knew Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa and to the generations of film fans mourning the loss of a true legend. Rest in Peace. Gene Hackman January 30, 1930 – February 26, 2025

ICE storms a gas station in Santa Monica, California. Goes in the back, gets cursed at by some lady, and arrests illegals for deportation. America voted for this. And we’re glad we did. Illegals should just self-deport.

Gene Hackman on the scene he considers to be one of his best ever: "I think some of my best work was in "The French Connection: Part II" (1975)—the withdrawal scene. I saw a lot of films on drug addiction and withdrawal, and I chose a specific pain for myself. John Frankenheimer allowed me time to prepare for that kind of work in a class, when you’re in a protected situation, and another on asset where you’re incredibly limited by time and other restraints—it’s four in the morning and the crew has been there since six the previous morning, and people think you’re being difficult because you need time to make the scene really come alive. The best actors can do it, though. An actor has to have a terrible toughness and sensitivity side by side." (Gene Hackman, Beverly Walker, Film Comment, 1988)
