Susan Sarandon Says Her Sexuality Is ‘Up For Grabs’

Susan Sarandon has described her sexual orientation as “open” and “up for grabs”.

Sarandon said she would have relationships with people of any gender but added that she is not getting many offers.

Speaking to PrideSource, the Academy Award winner, who split from her longtime partner, Tim Robbins, in 2009, simply said she’s very “open.”

I’m a serial monogamist, so I haven’t really had a large dating career.

I married Chris Sarandon when I was 20, and that went on for quite a while – each of my relationships have. I haven’t exactly been in the midst of a lot of offers of any kind. I’m still not!

I don’t know what’s going on! But I think back in the ’60s it just was much more open.”

Asked if she was open about her sexuality, she replied:

Yeah, I’m open. My sexual orientation is up for grabs, I guess you could say.”

Sarandon also revealed she once had an affair with gay British actor Philip Sayer, who was her co-star in the 1983 vampire film The Hunger and who died in 1989.

She said:

I did at one point have a very successful and very loving and wonderful affair with a man who then wasn’t with another woman after me, and that worked out fine!
