Susan Sarandon, the iconic actress known for her talent on screen and her outspoken personality, has once again shown us why she is a force to be reckoned with. When faced with criticism about her clothing choices, the 76-year-old actress had the perfect response for the haters.
Throughout her impressive career in Hollywood, Sarandon has never been one to conform. Her role as Janet Weiss in the cult classic musical film The Rocky Horror Picture Show catapulted her to fame and she continued to wow audiences with her performances in movies like Thelma & Louise and Dead Man Walking, for which she earned an Academy Award. But it’s not just her acting skills that make her stand out – Sarandon is also a proponent of body positivity and is unapologetic about expressing herself through her fashion choices.
During a red carpet event, Sarandon wore a white jacket with a black bra, a choice that raised some eyebrows. One journalist even went so far as to call it “totally inappropriate.” But instead of engaging in a battle of words, Sarandon decided to let a picture speak for itself. She took to social media and posted an old picture of herself in her underwear, proudly displaying her figure. With this powerful image, Sarandon silenced anyone who dared to question what was “appropriate” for her.
Sarandon’s response reflects her attitude towards aging and self-acceptance. In an interview, she spoke about how her perception of time has changed as she’s gotten older. “When your sense of time has an ending and isn’t finite, like how it feels when you’re young,” she said. This understanding of the preciousness of time has allowed her to focus on what truly matters to her and surround herself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.
When it comes to maintaining her beauty, Sarandon’s advice is refreshingly simple. “If you want to age gracefully, probably laugh a lot, get the normal amount of exercise, eat well, and stay out of the sun,” she shared. Of course, having an amazing makeup and hair team doesn’t hurt either.
Susan Sarandon is truly one of a kind. She marches to the beat of her own drum and refuses to let anyone’s negativity bring her down. So what do you think of her response to the haters? Let us know in the comments. And don’t forget to share this piece with your friends and family, so they can be inspired by Susan’s strategy the next time they face criticism.
