Susan Sarandon Says Support for Palestine Affects Her Hollywood Career
Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon said at the Venice Film Festival that she continues to lose movie roles due to her public support for Palestinians. Despite a shift in U.S. public opinion on Israel, Sarandon noted that parts of the film industry still discourage hiring her, citing studio power structures. She was dropped by her longtime talent agency in 2023 after attending pro-Palestinian rallies. Sarandon also highlighted growing awareness of U.S. financial support to Israel and said she feels welcomed internationally.
