Gene Hackman fans have leaped to the defense of the 94-year-old movie icon following the release of footage showing him at a gas station which referred to him as “scruffy.” Hackman’s last appearance on screen was in the 2004 movie Welcome to Mooseport, and he has lived a quiet life, mostly away from the cameras, for the last two decades. However, there have been occasional shots of the actor that have surfaced on social media, and they usually all end up getting the same short shrift from fans.
