Jennifer Coolidge had the perfect response to a red carpet reporter at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The White Lotus star was stopped by a SheKnows reporter who asked her, “What excites you about being a woman in Hollywood in 2025?”
Jennifer, 63, didn’t hesitate when she declared, “You can eat whatever you want now.”
The video has gone viral on TikTok, with fans praising the icon for “staying real,” while others called her “a national treasure.”
Jennifer – one of the evening’s presenters – turned heads in a black ruffled dress that fell to her ankles for Hollywood’s first big night of the 2025 awards season.
Before heading inside for the main ceremony, Jennifer was also joined by her ‘mystery date’ – who turned out to be her good friend and fellow actor Tim Bagley.

He has made a number of appearances on television shows such as Monk, King Of Queens and Will & Grace.
Most recently, Bagley starred alongside Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber in the miniseries The Perfect Couple.
Bagley was also the actress’s 2023 date at the SAG Awards — and she specifically gave him a shout-out when she accepted the award for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series for The White Lotus.
“My wonderful date, Tim Bagley, is my date for the evening. He has been my best friend for 20 years,” she said as she stood on stage.
The star then humorously added, “Thank you, you’re a great date tonight. I can’t wait until we get home.’
The A Cinderella Story actress was busy and wowing at the Palm Springs International Film Festival earlier this Friday.
Next up for Jennifer is a rumored return to Legally Blonde, with the actress likely to reprise her role as Paulette Parcelle in a new spin-off series – more than two decades after the original hit film premiered.
The prequel series, announced last May by Reese Witherspoon, will reportedly begin filming this year with Jennifer back as the lovelorn manicurist.

It is a joint project with Reese’s hugely successful production company Hello Sunshine and Amazon Prime.
One role that Jennifer will not return to and that will leave thousands of disappointed fans is her starring role in White Lotus.
The trailer for the third series of the big hit show has recently been released featuring new cast members.
The second season brought back Jennifer Coolidge as the wealthy and eccentric Tanya McQuoid, who realized in the finale that her husband Greg (Jon Gries) may have hired hitmen to kill her in order to acquire her vast fortune.
Although she eventually caught the best assassins and killed them, Tanya later slipped and hit her head on the dinghy in a freak accident that killed her.
Fan favorite Jennifer previously revealed that she would like her on-screen husband Greg to return for the third season to meet his end.
“My hope for Jon is that he’s not done with Greg yet,” she said in Variety’s Actors on Actors interviews. ‘I hope there is a reward for evil Greg. I think he should, I don’t know, be put in a meat grinder.’
