Gene Hackman was observed out and about with his rarely seen wife, Betsy Arakawa, prompting fans to notice his emaciated appearance and comment on how unrecognizable he seemed.

The 94-year-old actor made a rare public appearance after many years of retirement.

Hackman wore a checkered button-down shirt under a gray vest and green-gray cargo trousers, completing his look with a cap and sunglasses.

Though he remained ambulatory, he relied on a cane in one hand and his wife in the other. This outing was significant as it marked the couple’s first public appearance together in more than two decades.

Hackman’s appearance sparked a flood of comments on social media about his fragile look, eliciting various reactions.

Many people remarked on his visibly aged appearance, with comments like “Sad in a way to see him aged” and “That doesn’t look like him one bit.” Others noted, “That looks nothing like Gene Hackman” and “I love him…

I never would’ve recognized him, though,” expressing shock at his age.

One particular comment stated, “It looks like the wind could take him away,” referring to his frail condition.
