Oscar-winning actress\u00a0Susan Sarandon<\/a>\u00a0is in Spain this weekend to collect a career achievement prize at the 40th Goya Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a press conference in Barcelona today, the decorated star discussed her support for Palestine \u2014 a cause close to the heart of the Spanish government \u2014 and recent career challenges, which she said had come about because of that support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Thelma And Louise<\/em>\u00a0star was dropped by UTA in 2023 after attending several rallies in support of Palestine and at one point telling a crowd: \u201cThere are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.\u201d She later apologized for those comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarandon told the media today that her actions and words had led to her being shunned by Hollywood: \u201cI was fired by my agency, specifically for marching and speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a cease fire, and it became impossible for me to even be on television. I don\u2019t know lately if it\u2019s changed, but I couldn\u2019t do any major film, anything connected with Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress said she found new agents in the UK (United Agents) and Italy (Do MGMT) and has largely worked outside the U.S. since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just did a film in Italy, and I did a play at the Old Vic [in London] for several months. An Italian director just hired me, but he was told not to hire me. So, right now I kind of specialise in tiny, independent films with directors who have never directed before, and films that are in Europe or in Italy. So, that\u2019s the main reason I haven\u2019t been working as much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress is in post on Italian production The Echo Chamber<\/em> with Alicia Vikander and U.S. indie movie The Accompanist<\/em>, which marks the directorial debut of actor Zach Woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarandon became emotional and wiped away tears as she discussed the \u201cstrength and moral clarity\u201d of Spain\u2019s government, which has been among the most supportive of Palestine during the Gaza war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo see Spain and the President\u2019s support for Gaza, and to have actors like Javier Bardem come forward with such a strong voice, is so important to us in the United States. I can\u2019t tell you, when you turn on the TV, and you see how strong Spain is, and how clear that you are morally about these issues, it makes you feel less alone, and it makes you feel that there is hope, because you just don\u2019t hear that on TV in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continued: \u201cWhen a nation stands up, and I include Ireland in this too, I can\u2019t tell you how very important it is to those of us who are trying \u2014 in an atmosphere that is very difficult \u2014 when we see that kind of strength and moral clarity, how much it means to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: \u201cI personally feel very strongly that the annihilation of the Palestinian people is a horrible crime, and I\u2019m very ashamed to be paying for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarandon also described ICE in the U.S. as \u201cunconstitutional\u201d and \u201cdoing all kinds of illegal things, particularly to Black and brown people\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: \u201cI\u2019m very proud of the communities that have managed to find a way to fight against ICE, and I think that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to take, because no one at the top is going to save us from any of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
