Hollywood: Susan Sarandon's support for Palestine costs her movie roles

Euronews Portugal7 September 2026 at 07:57

Susan Sarandon, a 79-year-old actress, revealed that her open support for Palestine during the conflict in Gaza has been costing her film roles. The American actress, known for her history of political activism, acknowledges that her stance brings significant professional consequences.

Several public figures expressed support for Mark Ruffalo, an actor who was the target of an alleged "smear campaign," in a context where political opinions about the Middle East conflict appear to generate deep divisions in Hollywood.

The article suggests that Sarandon's advocacy for the Palestinian cause has resulted in concrete losses of professional opportunities in the film industry, at a time when the war in Gaza continues to divide opinions in the United States and around the world.
