Cher, the iconic singer at 77, recently faced online criticism regarding her age and physical appearance following her participation in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Despite her energetic performance of ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song,’
some fans expressed concern about her walking as she left the hotel after the event.
Entertainment photographer Elder Ordonez shared a clip on Instagram, capturing Cher in an all-black outfit with matching boots, assisted by a bodyguard. Some Instagram users commented on the post, with one person expressing concern about her mobility, speculating whether it was due to the boots. Another comment questioned her age, suggesting she couldn’t walk.
However, many fans rushed to Cher’s defense, emphasizing that she is 77 years old and highlighting the challenges of aging. One user retorted, “She’s 77 years old!!! Let’s see how great you will be walking at her age, if at all.”
Cher has been candid about her thoughts on aging on social media. In a previous tweet, she expressed bewilderment about when she would start feeling old, emphasizing her struggle to comprehend age-related numbers. In a September interview with Good Morning Britain, she acknowledged the inevitability of turning 80 but humorously pledged to continue wearing jeans and maintaining her long hair. When asked about her secret to looking youthful, Cher attributed it to good genetics in her family.
Despite the online criticism, Cher’s resilience, humor, and unapologetic approach to aging continue to inspire fans. As she navigates the public eye, her positive attitude toward growing older serves as a reminder that age should not limit one’s vitality and zest for life.
