See what Helen Hunt, 61, looks like now as reclusive Oscar winner appears unrecognizable in new selfie

Helen Hunt had fans buzzing on Tuesday after sharing a fresh-faced selfie that showcased her timeless beauty. 

At 61, the Oscar-winning actress—who starred alongside Jack Nicholson in 1997’s As Good As It Gets—looked effortlessly radiant as she beamed from Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Bundled up for the late-winter chill, the Mad About You star, who charmed audiences as Jamie Buchman from 1992 to 1999, made it clear she was ready for baseball season to begin.

‘In just a few hours, the Chicago @cubs will play my @dodgers in Tokyo in the first game of the 2025 season. Let’s go Dodgers,’ she captioned her post, alongside her boyfriend, Big Little Lies actor Jeffrey Nordling. ‘But my goodness, the Cubs are epic and this stadium is a work of art.’

While decades have pᴀssed since she played Sarah Jessica Parker’s free-spirited best friend in Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985), Helen still carries that unmistakable movie-star glow.

Her playful Instagram update follows a glamorous turn at last month’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she wowed in a chic Christian Siriano gown and held hands with Nordling.

The couple first crossed paths while co-starring in Shooter, a 1988 NBC movie about Vietnam War pH๏τographers. 

She played Tracey, while he took on the role of Matt Thompson—but romance didn’t seem to spark back then.

Fast forward to May 2022, and fans started speculating when Jeffrey shared a group pH๏τo from Dodger Stadium, where he and Helen were hanging out with Camryn Manheim and Billie Jean King.

By October, they made things official with a red carpet debut at the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s 20th Anniversary Gala at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

In 1997, Hunt won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Carol Connelly in As Good as It Gets, starring opposite Jack Nicholson. 

She continued her film success with leading roles in Twister (1996), Pay It Forward (2000), and The Sessions (2012), the latter earning her an Oscar nomination.
