Robbins and Sarandon SplitWhen it comes to UK entertainment news, few stories are big enough to make the leap from America. But when news of the breakup of two established Hollywood stars broke last week, it certainly made the grade. If you somehow missed it, the two stars we are referring two are Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Though actors and actresses breakup every hour in the movie capital of the world, this relationship was different. Why? Well, for one thing the couple had been together for more than 23 years. That’s like a century in Hollywood years! Though both stars have virtual phone numbers , neither could be reached for comment. It does appear that the split was amicable. But in all honesty, there is a dearth of information on the subject. In fact, the publicist for the former pair recently announced that they had actually separated over the summer. The couple was not only famous for their relationship, their films, and their age difference (he’s 12 years younger), but also for the fact that they never married. They have two sons together, Miles, 17, and Jack, 20. For years, the two actors were also respected, liberal activists who spoke out against American military involvement and on a number of environmental and economic issues. In fact, one of the couple’s last public appearances was at the inauguration of Barack Obama in January, 2009. |
