Susan Sarandon Says She Was Banned From Hollywood After Calling for Gaza Ceasefire: I Feel 'Repression and Censorship' [View all]

Susan Sarandon is speaking out about her current film and television career, saying that after she spoke out and called for a ceasefire in Gaza that she was unable to take on roles in the United States.

“I was fired by my agency, specifically for marching and speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a ceasefire,” Sarandon said. “It became impossible for me to even be on television. I don’t know lately if it’s changed. I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood. I found agents ultimately in England and in Italy, and I work there. I just did a film in Italy, and I did a play at the Old Vic for a number of months. I know this Italian director that just hired me — he was told not to hire me, so that’s still recently. He didn’t listen, but they had that conversation. Right now, I kind of specialize in tiny films with directors who have never directed, in independent films.”

The “Thelma and Louise” star also said that Spain has more intellectual freedom than the United States.

“In a place where you feel repression and censorship, to see Spain and to see the president and what he says and the support that he’s giving about Gaza, and to have actors like Javier Bardem come forward with such a strong voice, is so important to us in the United States,” she said.
