Ever since Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins officially split in 2009, she’s been with a 31-years-younger man. There actually might have been some overlap between Tim Robbins and this younger dude, Jonathan Bricklin. At the time (2009), Susan was 63 and Jonathan Bricklin was 32. Nowadays she’s 68 and he’s 37. And they’re still making it work. Susan has previously said that she “loves” being called a cougar, so… go ahead and say that about her. She’s on Social Security and she’s banging a 37-year-old. She’s living the dream.
Famously private actress Susan Sarandon has broken her silence on her romance with a man 31 years her junior. The 68-year-old star has remained tight-lipped about her relationship with 37-year-old screenwriter Jonathan Bricklin, with whom she runs the trendy SPiN ping-pong lounges.
“Our collaboration extends into several areas,” the Oscar-winning actress admitted in an interview with Hello! Magazine. She was quick to add that the age gap is meaningless for a couple in love.
“It’s the soul of a person that interests me,” the Thelma & Louise star said. “When you are in love, the question of age, sex, color no longer hold any importance.”
Sarandon also revealed she and her boytoy — who she met on a road trip to Chile in early 2010 — have not moved in together.
“We don’t live under the same roof,” the mum-of-three revealed. “We’re not an ordinary couple.”
The Tammy star reportedly got together with her new flame several months after splitting from partner of 23 years, Tim Robbins. Robbins was 12 years younger than Sarandon. Sarandon was previously married to actor Chris Sarandon for 12 years. She has two sons — Jack, 25, and Miles, 22 — with Robbins, and is mother to 29-year-old actress Eva Amurri Martino, with Italian film director Franco Amurri.
I like that there actually is some mystery with these two, that Susan isn’t doing photo-op after photo-op with Bricklin, like she’s trying to “prove” how sexy she is. She knows she’s sexy. She knows she’s a cool grandma. And sure, maybe this thing with Bricklin isn’t forever, but they’re both adults and they’re having fun. I actually think their relationship seems more like a business arrangement with benefits. And Bricklin seems like such a try-hard hipster, but God knows. He must be cool-ish if Susan finds him interesting.
