Susan Sarandon has said she continues to lose movie work because of her public support for Palestinians, The Guardian reported. The Oscar-winning actor stated that she and other vocal critics of Israel have found it "impossible" to secure employment with major studios due to their positions on the conflict.
Sarandon did not specify which particular roles she lost or provide details about studios' stated reasons for rejecting her for parts. Her comments reflect broader industry tensions surrounding public advocacy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, raising questions about whether studios factor in actors' political statements when making hiring decisions.
The actor has long been an outspoken critic of Israeli military actions and a supporter of Palestinian rights, positions that have drawn both public support and backlash.
