Few celebrities have been photographed in swimsuit to protect themselves from criticism on social media, including Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, and Demi Moore. Fortunately, in addition to negative comments, they’ve also gotten positive feedback that presents them favorably.
Famous people who have dared to show off their bikini in public, such as Demi Moore, Eva Longoria, Matt Damon, Goldie Hawn, Susan Lucci, and Helen Mirren, have been met with fury on social media. Opinions on pictures of the celebrities dressed for the beach were mixed among internet users.
Photo of Helen Mirren in her bikini Captured by the Press
Dame In an interview with various media, Helen Mirren provided an explanation for the 2008 viral photo of her standing in a red bikini with a white trim. That year, Taylor Hackford, Mirren’s spouse, and her were taking a beach vacation in Italy.
The actress claimed that, in order to reach a swimming hole where no one else was present—exactly how Hackford liked it—she and her husband, a filmmaker, traveled treacherous terrain that crossed cacti. After taking a picture of her husband, the actress then struck a pose for him. But just as she felt her stomach sinking, she noticed a flash in the far hills and quickly lowered herself “spread-eagle” onto the rocks to avoid being captured in the picture by what appeared to be a paparazzo!
The photographer had slipped behind the cacti when Hackford glanced around, which is why the director labeled his wife as “paranoid.” Three days later, a tabloid posted a picture of the 63-year-old Mirren in a red bikini, looking into the distance with her hand held over her brow! The picture quickly went viral!
A few years later, during season seven of “Ellen,” the dame discussed the incident and said the shot was just “pure luck.” “God, I wish I looked like that,” she said, referring to the photo. However, I don’t.”
The actress revealed that, a week prior to the photo’s capture, she was on a public beach in France with hundreds of people around, and nobody had bothered to take her photo! Ellen DeGeneres, the show’s host, made light of the fact that we already knew why Mirren was in such excellent form since she had “scaled cactuses and mountains.”
People are still pleased and inspired by the image years later. In 2019, when the photo surfaced again and Mirren was questioned about it on TV, the actress explained once more how she had posed for her husband:
“I tried to suck my cheeks in. I tried to look… good.”
In the comments of a Daily Mail post, readers expressed their appreciation for the stolen moment. “I can only hope that I look that good at 74!!” one gushed. “I would love to look that good now – let alone when I’m in my 70s!” another seconded. It should be noted that she was in her mid-sixties when the photograph was taken, which is by no means unimpressive.
“WOW, she looks amazing. I could only wish to look that good at that age,” one said. “She looks fantastic. If I sucked my stomach in, I still wouldn’t look that good in a bikini, and I’m 20 years younger than her,” an admirer pointed out. A second agreed:
“I’m at a loss for words. She looks gorgeous!”
“Now this is what aging gracefully means….. “ a reader ruminated, “Natural with no plastic bits. She knows her age and appreciates it and doesn’t hide from it. Good for her!” “She’s fantastic. And to all the other fake boob & booty gals out there, take a page from Helen’s book!” someone else added. “Finally, someone I can complement who actually deserves it!” a commenter wrote.
The Oscar winner has turned down all opportunities to monetize the viral photo. She said in 2014, on the dawn of her 68th birthday, “The truth is I don’t really look that good, it was just a flattering picture,” noting:
“I am beyond the bikini-wearing age, really. I wouldn’t normally wear one. I look like a woman in her 60s. I’ve always looked awful in a bikini, even when I was young.”
Likewise, on her reputation for being “sexy,” she conceded on another occasion, saying, “I think it’s probably going to follow me to my grave.” However, Helen Mirren is likely to keep making headlines with her view on rules. “It’s good to break your own rules on a regular basis,” she says. Next up is Julia Roberts.
Julia Roberts Judged for Being a “Plastic Princess” for Her Swimsuit Look

Roberts, who had just emerged from the sea after a swim, had dark sunglasses and looked relaxed as she took in the glorious sight of the beach. Fans who saw her gorgeous pictures were stunned by how amazing the actress looked.
Fans said the actress was “aging gracefully” and wished her good health and happiness. Someone else pointed out that the star was “naturally beautiful.” One online user commended Roberts for not turning her natural body into a “plastic princess.”

Many mean-spirited people wasted no time in calling Hawn nasty names:
“No, not attractive. Look what happened to Goldie Hawn after she got her lips fattened. UGLY.”
The hate continued to swirl around social media as more pictures were released. Some commentators pushed the ugly narrative further and started discussing how Hawn’s appearance would give them nightmares before bed, stating:
“Goldie Hawn’s face is going to give me nightmares tonight.”
What haters have to say is entirely disregarded by not only Hawn herself but by her biggest fan, her partner, Russell. The happy couple has been in love and committed to each other for 40 years, and still treat their relationship as though they just first fell in love.

Demi Moore’s Body Called “Saggy” by Online Critics for Wearing a Swimsuit
Demi Moore is now busy in her grandma era. The “Striptease” star was spotted on June 7, 2023, taking a family walk with her daughter Rumer and granddaughter Louetta in Los Angeles. Days earlier, on June 4, 2023, Moore had also taken a trip with her family to the farmer’s market.

The next time Moore was spotted in a swimsuit was when she was enjoying a Greek holiday in the Mediterranean on August 12, 2023. The then 60-year-old showed off her body in a sage green bikini. The bikini with a halter top and V-shaped bottoms showed off her flawless complexion.
