Actress Susan Sarandon recalled some of the wilder moments from her wedding to ex-husband Chris Sarandon in 1967.

The 76-year-old celebrity discussed the event during an appearance on Chris’ podcast “Cooking by Heart.” 

Susan was 20 at the time and said her parents disapproved of them marrying for a few reasons. “What happened was, we said, ‘Look, I wanna move out, and we’re gonna live together.’ And you definitely couldn’t do that unless you were married at that time, back in the Middle Ages at a Catholic college,” she said.

The Academy Award winner clarified that her parents “loved Chris,” but “suddenly something happened” that made them averse to the nuptials. She said her mom was pregnant at the time.

“I think she was embarrassed,” Susan explained. “She was 44. She didn’t say that, she just said, ‘No, now you can’t get married.'”

The actress asked if having a small wedding would make a difference but her mom allegedly said, “‘No, if I say you can’t get married, you can’t get married.'”

Susan went ahead with the ceremony and recalled how her mom “was in a black raincoat, sitting at the back of the church for like 10 minutes.”

“And none of my siblings could come except my brother that was right under me, who insisted upon coming,” the “Thelma & Louise” the actress added. “And luckily he hooked up with one of the bridesmaids, so it was a very successful trip.”

Susan and Chris divorced in 1979 but still speak fondly of each other.

 “We both have very strong feelings for that part of our lives and how those formative relationships are always important, and you can’t leave them behind totally,” Chris told People. “You have to revisit them sometimes — if not in nostalgia, more in the sense of, yeah, there was love there, and it still exists on a different level. It’s not romantic love, but still there’s love there.”

He also called Susan “an extraordinary human being.” 

“Her evolution as both an actress and as a social activist has been so extraordinarily heartening in many ways to me, because obviously I knew her when, and to see that occur in such a healthy and humanitarian way, humanistic way, is very gratifying,” the “Princess Bride” star continued.

“I knew she was a terrific person when we were together, and she’s still a terrific person. She’s a wonderful person,” he said.

Dove is facing backlash, including from X owner Elon Musk, after it was revealed that the company was partnering in a “fat liberation” campaign with a Black Lives Matter Activist accused of wrecking a white female student’s life with uncorroborated accusations.

Zyahna Bryant, who celebrated on Instagram last week she was a Dove ambassador and spoke of “fat liberation,” accused fellow University of Virginia student Morgan Bettinger — a first-generation college student and the daughter of a police officer who had died six years before — of  saying that George Floyd protesters would make “good speed bumps” at a 2020 Charlottesville rally. Bryant later admitted she might not have heard the remarks at all, according to a report.

Responding to a tweet stating, “Zyahna Bryant ruined a white girl’s life over a non-existent remark. Dove just did a brand partnership with her to support ‘fat liberation,” Musk tweeted bluntly, “Messed up.”

Other social media users chimed in, as The Daily Mail reported. Sample comments included these:

“After hearing that Dove Beauty chose Zyahna Bryant — who ruined Morgan Bettinger’s life — for their ‘fat acceptance ambassador,’ THIS lifelong large lady & now former Dove customer tossed out the last three bars of Dove product she will EVER buy. I have written to Unilever too.”

“@Dove. Do you want to get  @budlight bud lighted? Because, this is how you get bud lighted.”

“Shame on Dove, never bought the product anyway. There goes their reputation!”

“Guess I’ve bought my last bar of Dove soap.” 

“I’ve stopped buying their products. Never again!”

“I’ll have to toss my Dove products and never buy them again!”

Bettinger was accused by Bryant and others of making threatening remarks about George Floyd protesters in Charlottesville in 2020.

“The woman in this truck approached protesters in #Charlottesville, and told us that we would make ‘good speedbumps,’” Bryant, then 19, wrote of Bettinger. “She then called the police and started crying saying we were attacking her.” Bryant followed with a series of videos, but they did not show the alleged remarks, as Reason noted in a detailed article on the incident.

The group that organized the protest, Charlottesville Beyond Policing, followed by writing on Medium:

… this rally and march was disturbed by a UVA student, Morgan Bettinger. Morgan drove around the public works truck blocking the street that demonstrators were convened on, and felt compelled to say, not just once, but twice, that protesters would “make good speed bumps.” The second time she repeated it loudly to a Black protester and added “good f***ing speed bumps.”

The story was amplified by local media with Bryant starting a campaign demanding Bettinger’s expulsion.

An inquiry by professional investigators at the university’s Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights (EOCR) found that three of Bryant’s four allegations that she said happened before a large crowd could not be corroborated by other witnesses, Reason reported, and the fourth, that Bettinger yelled protesters would make “good speed bumps,” had one witness claiming it happened, but that witness contradicted Bryant and herself when interviewed. Additionally, Bryant later altered her story on that claim, acknowledging she wasn’t certain she heard Bettinger make that statement at all, according to a report from the EOCR.
