‘I’m bi, I’m fluid’: Susan Sarandon comes out on a chat show

Susan Sarandon casually revealed that she’s bisexual and fluid during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The actress revealed her sexuality when making a joke about her beloved dogs on the US chat show.

She said: "My little creatures all passed away. I can’t talk about it because I still get upset. It was about a year ago.

"I was feeling sad and… I said, ‘I can’t get another dog. I just can’t,’ you know? And [my son] said, ‘Well, then get cats.’

She then declared: “And I’m bi, so…”

Probing further, Fallon asked: “So you mean you like dogs and cats?”

To which the actress replied tongue-in-cheek: “I’m fluid, I’m very fluid where animals are concerned.”

This isn’t the first time Sarandon, who is believed to be single and shares sons John Henry and Miles Robbins with actor ex Tim Robbins, has spoken about her sexuality.

Speaking to Pride Source in 2017, she said: “My sexual orientation is up for grabs, I guess you could say. [It’s] open.”

She said on chat show The View two years earlier that someone’s gender, age or skin colour were not things she factored into attraction.

She said: “If there’s a person, I would leave open the age, the colour, the gender even. It increases your chances, doesn’t it?”

The star has been a longtime advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and is considered a gay icon.
