Susan Sarandon Says She Is Still Losing Hollywood Roles Over Gaza Remarks

Susan Sarandon says her outspoken support for Palestine continues to cost her work in Hollywood.

The Oscar-winning actress made the claim during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival.

Sarandon said some agencies still tell people not to hire her because of her public views.

I have still had movies taken away recently because there are agencies that are telling people not to hire me still.

The 79-year-old actress has openly spoken about the Israel-Palestine conflict and has attended pro-Palestinian events.

Sarandon’s comments come as she continues to work in film, despite what she describes as professional consequences.

Her political views have sparked controversy in Hollywood before, but she says the impact on her career has not ended.

The actress has enjoyed a career spanning decades, with films including “Thelma & Louise,” “Dead Man Walking,” “The Client” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for “Dead Man Walking” in 1996.
