A hungry Hackman wolfed down his chicken sandwich in the fast food franchise parking lot before filling up with gas.

It was a rare appearance for the retired star, who was last seen on screen in the 2004 comedy “Welcome to Mooseport.”

Despite being a huge star, Hackman has been ostracized for decades and avoids the bright lights of Hollywood. The father of three, who has lived for decades in New Mexico with his pianist wife, Betsy Arakawa, also refrains from giving interviews.

Since retiring from Hollywood, the star has also turned to novel writing, including the 2013 crime thriller ‘Pursuit’.
