Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon encountered unfavorable comments when she chose to have children.
In October 2017, the seasoned actress shared her experiences as a mother, saying one parent had counseled her against having children because she might endanger her profession.
When Sarandon made the decision to become a parent, she was already in her late forties. She recalled the responses, saying, ‘I believe it was, ‘Don’t have the baby,’ as like it would ruin my career, and I was so old anyhow.’
Despite the criticism, the Screen Actors Guild Award recipient gave birth to her first child at the age of 39 and had three children by the time she was 45.
The devoted parent described how people reacted to each of her kids:‘Are you nuts, asked the crowd. Don’t!’’Now a mother of three adult children, Sarandon
It is clear that the activist decided not to pay attention to what others had to say and went on to give birth to Eva Amurri, Jack Robbins, and Miles Robbins.
Tim Robbins, an actor and director, and Sarandon’s ex-lover Franco Amurri share a daughter and two boys, respectively.
The ‘Thelma & Louise’ actress is particularly close to her only child, who gave birth to three grandchildren.
Sarandon raved about her daughter’s parenting in March 2016 and that she was ‘proud’ and in awe of her:
’I find what she’s doing to be incredible. […] She’s also an extremely amusing kid. She is fearless. She is powerful.’
Amurri used to go backstage with her mother to political events, including filming locations. The actress-turned-lifestyle blogger described the encounter as being rather ‘adventurous.’
She pursued an acting career nonetheless, following in the footsteps of her well-known mother. She even acted with her mother in a few movies.
Amurri was cast as a young Sarandon in 1995’s ‘Dead Man Walking’ because of how much she resembles her parent.
The two additionally appeared in ‘The Bangers Sisters’ in 2002 as a mother and child on film. They also starred together in the 2016 films ‘Mothers and Daughters’ and the 2012 film ‘That’s My Boy.’
Because of her mother and stepfather, Robbins, the celebrity realized how fortunate she was to ’had a leg up’ in Hollywood.
She mentioned the harsh criticism that comes with being a Hollywood legacy and stated that this ‘skepticism’ would always exist.
Amurri is beginning to resemble her mother more and more, and they both have traits like being stubborn.
The actress was described by Amurri as having ‘ and I’m not entirely sure, but I hope I’m as compassionate as she is’ in May 2004.Amurri prioritized her family over her acting career.
Amurri is a mother to three children: sons Major and Mateo, as well as a daughter named Marlowe. The grandchildren call their grandmother ‘Honey,’ which is a nickname for her.
Sarandon revealed that her children have ‘a lot of sense of humor’ and calls herself a ‘silly grandmother.’
Every time she has a serious discussion with her children, the devoted mother even dons a “clown nose” to lighten the atmosphere.
Sarandon revealed that she quit trying to fit in since she found that attempting to be flawless may be emotionally draining.
The New Yorker spoke passionately about her young grandkids in October 2018 at the inaugural Together Love Gala in New York City. They are doing well, she remarked.
While Major’s ‘personality’ was only starting to emerge, Sarandon revealed that her granddaughter is beyond hilarious and ‘a ferocious little clown and so articulate,’ while Major adores cleaning and doing people’s hair.
The ‘fearless’ Marlowe, on the other hand, finds everything amusing, according to the BAFTA Award winner. She describes them as ’divine.’
The ‘Stepmom’ star adores spending time with her grandkids and claims that being a grandparent is easier than being a mother.
In the meantime, after becoming a first-time mother in 2014, Sarandon’s daughter decided to put her acting career on pause.
Amurri revealed on her blog, Happily Eva After, five years later that having children had always been her top priority. Since high school, she had talked about being a mother.
