Susan Sarandon is perhaps one of the most iconic actresses of her generation. Beyond holding her own on screen, she’s also known for never holding back in real life.
So when people began questioning her choices, she decided to set the record straight.
Susan Sarandon has enjoyed an impressive Hollywood career and is still going strong. Her role as Janet Weiss in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show cemented her status as a talented actress.
She went on to star in numerous films that earned her critical acclaim, including the beloved Thelma & Louise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She ultimately won an Oscar for her performance in Dead Man Walking.
The actress has always championed body positivity and expresses herself freely through her fashion choices. She has an unapologetic personality and is vocal about the causes she supports.
During one red carpet event, she wore a white jacket paired with a black bra — a look that raised some eyebrows. A journalist even called her outfit “totally inappropriate.”
But instead of defending herself with words, she responded with a photo.
She posted an old picture of herself in her underwear, proudly showing off her figure. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words — and Sarandon silenced anyone trying to dictate what was “appropriate” for her. She isn’t bothered by aging and focuses on what truly matters. In an interview, she said, “When your sense of time has an ending and isn’t finite, like how it feels when you’re young.” She added, “When you understand that time is precious, you tend not to waste energy on the small stuff and only surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”
As for how she maintains her beauty, she simply said, “If you want to age gracefully, probably laugh a lot, get the normal amount of exercise, eat well, and stay out of the sun — those would be the main things.” Sarandon added that having an amazing makeup and hair team certainly helps, too.
