Susan Sarandons Career Impact: Despite Apologizing, Backlash from Pro-Palestine Comments Leads to European Work

Susan Sarandons career has taken a hit following her outspoken support for people in Gaza. After her agency, United Talent Agency, dropped her in November 2023 due to backlash from her pro-Palestine rally comments, she has primarily found work in Europe. Sarandon has secured agents in England and Italy, landing a film and a play in the latter. However, she still faces challenges, such as an Italian director who received warnings not to hire her but did so anyway. She now mainly works on small independent films with first-time directors in countries like Italy. Despite this, she has appeared in a few major American studio films, like Netflixs The Six Triple Eight and Nonnas, which began production before her agency split. Sarandon also praised Spains government for challenging Israels actions in Gaza, highlighting the contrast with the US stance.
