As if you needed another reminder that you will never be as cool as David Bowie, Susan Sarandon recently revealed in an interview that she used to fuck Bowie on the regular, and she still calls him someone "worth idolizing."
Sarandon spoke candidly about her relationship with "a rock star" in an interview with The Daily Beast (link below), finally revealing that her time spent shooting 1983's The Hunger with Bowie was the perfect time for her to have a fling with him.
Who was the rock star?
Bowie.
Get out. That man is a legend. Did that happen around the time of The Hunger?
Yeah. He’s worth idolizing. He’s extraordinary. That was a really interesting period. I wasn’t supposed to have kids, and I’m the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn’t ever in a mode to where I was looking to settle down and raise a family, so that definitely changes the gene pool you’re dipping into. But Bowie’s just a really interesting person, and so bright. He’s a talent, and a painter, and… he’s great.
That is, honestly, the mark of an impossibly cool man. Manages to score with Susan Sarandon in her prime, and still have her saying great things about him thirty years later. Seriously, someone figure out a way to bottle that coolness and sell it. I'd buy that for a dollar.
