Kurt Russell was described as “ageing like a fine wine” as the actor featured on The One Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The film star was on the sofa alongside his son Wyatt Russell – whom he shares with partner Goldie Hawn – on the BBC<\/a> programme on Monday (March 2). The duo appeared to discuss their programme Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, but whilst they spoke with hosts Alex Jones<\/a> and Roman Kemp, numerous viewers found themselves distracted by Kurt’s appearance.<\/p>\n

Several people shared messages on X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a>, commenting on how “handsome” the Hollywood icon looked. The fact Kurt is 74 also sparked reaction, with one admirer saying “no way” given his appearance.<\/p>\n

“Wow Kurt Russell is still handsome,” one fan wrote on the platform, whilst another posted a red heart emoji, reports Wales Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“How nice to see Kurt Russel aging naturally and gracefully without the need for face lifts, fillers and Botox,” remarked someone else, adding: “Good for him!”<\/p>\n

Another viewer observed: “No way Kurt Russell is 74! Ageing like a fine wine.”<\/p>\n

They continued: “Obviously there was the legend Snake Plissken. But before that caused much swooning by teenage me watching The Quest on a Saturday afternoon.”<\/p>\n

“Can’t believe Kurt has been acting since the 60s,” said someone else.<\/p>\n

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which launched on Apple TV+ in 2023, tracks a secretive organisation called Monarch as they encounter various creatures, including Godzilla.<\/p>\n

Kurt and Wyatt portray the same character, ex-US Army colonel Lee Shaw, with Kurt taking on the older incarnation and Wyatt depicting him as a younger man.<\/p>\n

Presenter Alex asked: “Did you have meetings about mannerisms, or did it come naturally because you are, of course, dad and son?”<\/p>\n

Kurt responded: “When they came to us, we had offers of playing father and son a lot. But we looked at this and said, ‘Wait a minute, playing the same guy and all these eras apart? That would be interesting’.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “It was a double-edged sword, whether, you know, monster world<\/a> is something you want to mess with or not.”<\/p>\n

Wyatt explained: “Most of the monster movies that we saw, you know, the monsters are the catalyst for the event that the humans go through,” before adding: “And this happened to be where the humans are the catalyst for the monsters and like, what you see doing that.”<\/p>\n

Kurt noted: “They react to what the people are doing,” whilst Wyatt chimed in: “And that was very interesting and different and that’s what, you know, the show does well.”<\/p>\n
