Susan Sarandon is open to dating ‘a man or a woman’ – as long as they have been vaccinated against Covid.
The 74-year-old actress said she ‘doesn’t care’ about gender when it comes to future relationships and is ‘open to all ages, all colors’.
Speaking on Caroline Stanbury’s Divorce Not Dead podcast, she explained that her first requirement for a partner is: ‘Someone who has been vaccinated for Covid.’
She added: ‘I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman. I mean, I’m open to all ages, all colors. And for me, those things are just details. But I am interested in someone who wants to be adventurous.

The mother of three also made it clear that the profession is not important either, although her future partner must be “passionate about what she does”.
“They can be school teachers, they can be writers or they can be successful or not,” she clarified.
But when it comes to Susan’s international fame, any potential suitor should not be intimidated.
The Oscar-winning actress added: ‘Someone who will not be intimidated by people who come [me] on the street and saying, ‘Oh my God, I love you’. ‘

Susan is in no hurry to find love, insists that she is happy to be single, and goes so far as to say that she is ‘having fun’ by being alone.
She said, ‘I’m kind of enjoying being alone.
‘I think I’m quite open to the idea of being with someone, but, you know, it would certainly take someone extraordinary to share my medicine cabinet right now. I think those days are over. ‘
The screen legend also made rare comments about her only husband, Chris Sarandon, 78, whom she married in order to avoid the expulsion from her Catholic college.
She also mentioned how her 21-year-old relationship with Tim Robbins, 62, fell apart and why she had to part ways with “jealous” Jonathan Bricklin, 43.

Susan Tomalin was a 17-year-old girl from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC when she met Chris, who at the time was a graduate student.
She explained: ‘So every year we decided whether we wanted to stay married and after seven years we decided to mutually move on.
‘How many people can really stay married for life with the first person they sleep with? And that would be a great achievement, right?
They were married in 1967 and finally divorced in 1979, but Susan kept her surname and developed an acting career that by far eclipsed his.

Although she had several long-term relationships – including with Franco Amurri and Tim Robbins, the parents of their children – she never married again.
As far as short-term relationships are concerned, her dating history includes famous names ranging from Sean Penn to David Bowie and Louis Malle.
He spent four years in the 1980s with Franco, with whom he welcomed his eldest son and only daughter Eva Amurri, 35.
Then, from 1988 to 2009, she became involved with Tim, whom she met while working on the baseball film Bull Durham and started dating afterwards.

They also welcomed two children together, director Jack, 31, and musician and actor Miles, 28.
“I was always afraid to take each other for granted because you are married, you know, wake up in the morning and need to commit again,” she said of her relationship with Tim.
‘But of course, after some time in a relationship, if you have a lot of kids and a lot of real estate and you’ve been together for about 20 – you have, I mean, it’s hard not to take it for granted,’ said Susan , who has been with Tim for 21 years.
Susan also said of the wedding: ‘I don’t know, except that, for me, I wasn’t interested in it. I do not know why. My parents got married. It was no big deal. ‘

Over the years, she has had a fondness for younger men, including Franco and Tim who, as she said, are 12 years younger than her.
His biggest age difference, however, was with screenwriter Jonathan Bricklin, who is 31 years younger than Susan and is the son of the famous businessman Malcolm Bricklin.
Susan confessed “one of the problems with meeting guys my age is that many of them are just trying to preserve the status quo at this point and hold on to save their lives, and they are not open and curious.”
She and Jonathan were together from 2010 to 2015, a period during which “he was very jealous, very jealous” of her relationship with her children, Susan said.

‘And I think part of that was because he didn’t have a close relationship with his mother. And he saw it – it made him crazy. He was definitely jealous, ‘she said.
She later admitted this to relationships in general: ‘I’m such a nurturer, that’s the problem. I do a lot! And then, you know, who wants to fuck your mom after a while? No, I have to learn to back off and not do everything. ‘
Looking back on her life, she said, ‘I just wish I could have made my mistakes faster. All were very productive choices in terms of lessons learned. ‘
Having worked so constantly throughout her life, whether as an actress or a mother, she also revealed that ‘I wish I had a little more fun, honestly.’
