Introduction
The idea of blondes being considered ditzy, evil or destined to die out has long been part of popular culture, but are they true? To shed some light on this topic, Amy Schumer talks to the legendary actress Goldie Hawn. The conversation is not limited to frivolous topics since they also talk about topics like Hollywood culture and beauty standards. So let’s get started!
Q&A
The Goldie Hawn Foundation
Amy: Hi Goldie, could you share with us the inspiration behind the Goldie Hawn Foundation?
Goldie: Of course, Amy! The inspiration for the foundation came from seeing that our children are struggling and unhappy. They’re anxious, they’re stressed, and they feel insecure. But what we know are the facts: mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and resiliency strategies do work. And when we teach our kids about their own minds there’s a new opportunity to lead a better life. That’s why we started the Goldie Hawn Foundation.
The Power of Perfume
Amy: Goldie, you always smell so good. What perfume are you wearing today?
Goldie: Oh, thank you, Amy. I’m wearing my own perfume, Goldie. I created it several years ago. And I love it. It’s a little musky, a little woodsy, and a little citrusy.
Eating Habits
Amy: Goldie, what does your daily diet look like?
Goldie: I eat a lot of vegetables, and I love to cook. I make a great pasta dish with garlic, olive oil, and fresh vegetables. And I have a sweet tooth, so I eat a lot of fruit.
Hair, Amber Rose and Dating
Amy: I love your hair, Goldie. How do you keep it looking so amazing?
Goldie: Well, thank you, Amy. I try to take really good care of it. I use some coconut oil to keep it moisturized, and I also have a great stylist who’s been doing my hair for years.
Amy: So, speaking of dating, are you dating Amber Rose?
Goldie: (laughs) No, Amy, I’m not dating Amber Rose.
Goldie’s Discovery
Amy: Goldie, you have been in the industry for many years. How did you get discovered?
Goldie: I was discovered while dancing in a show at a theater in New York. A man named Michael Kidd came up to me after the dance and said, “You’re going to be in my show.” And that’s how it all started.
Blonde Stereotypes Debunked
Amy: So, Goldie, there’s this idea that blondes are considered ditzy or evil. What do you think about that?
Goldie: I think that’s a stereotype, just like any other. People tend to believe things about a group instead of seeing individuals for who they are. The stereotype of blondes being dumb is just not true. And as far as being evil, I think that’s just ridiculous.
Amy: And what about the stereotype that blondes are going to die out?
Goldie: Well, that’s just not true. Evolution doesn’t work that way. There is no scientific evidence that blondes are going to die out.
The Future of Blondes
Amy: So, I’ve heard that one of the reasons the blonde stereotype could continue is because people tend to gravitate towards things that are rare. And since blonde hair is a recessive trait, that could make it more desirable. What do you think of that idea?
Goldie: Well, that could be true. I never really thought about it that way. But I also think people are starting to appreciate diversity more. It’s not just about being blonde, brunette or redhead. We’re all unique and beautiful in our own way.
Conclusion
The conversation between Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn debunked some blond stereotypes, but it was much more than that. It was an opportunity to talk about Hollywood culture, beauty standards, and the importance of mindfulness for children. However, the most important takeaway from the conversation was the importance of treating individuals as just that – individuals. Everyone deserves to be seen for who they are and not what they look like or what they are assumed to be like.
