Susan Sarandon Says Still Losing Roles over Gaza Stance

Sarandon says agencies still steer filmmakers away from her, even as she works on European productions and says public views on the conflict have shifted.

  • On Sunday, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon told a Venice Film Festival press conference she continues to lose studio roles because of her public support for Palestine.
  • Following her 2023 dismissal by agency UTA, Sarandon felt shunned by the industry for advocating a ceasefire in Gaza, resulting in fewer work opportunities.
  • Defying industry warnings, director Andrea Pallaoro cast Sarandon in his new romantic drama 'The Echo Chamber', co-starring Luca Marinelli and Alicia Vikander.
  • Despite feeling welcomed internationally, Sarandon claimed that positions in her industry held by Zionists continue to block her hiring despite shifting public narratives.
  • Sarandon's experience reflects broader Hollywood tensions, including Paramount's accusation that Mark Ruffalo used 'antisemitic tropes' criticizing the Paramount-WBD merger and its backer Oracle.
