Susan Sarandonis bringing her family to the picket lines.
On Wednesday, Sarandon, 76, shared a photo on Instagram of herself with her sonJack Henry Robbins, 34, that showed the pair holding picket signs and striking with fellow Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America members.
“Usually my son would finish this caption but he’s on strike,” Sarandon wrote on top of the photo, adding: “A family that strikes together…”
Actors across Hollywood joined the Writers Guild of America, which has beenseparately striking since May 2, on picket lines last week after SAG didn’t negotiate a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Sarandon briefly spoke about her feelings on the strike in a video she shared onInstagramlast Saturday. In the video, the actress acknowledged she would no longer promote her new DC Studios superhero movieBlue Beetleor film any new movies “until we get a contract that reflects the changes in the industry that are fair to the actors.”

“We’re going to stand with the WGA on this, too, and this is where we are strong,” said Sarandon, a longtime political activist whowas arrested at New York’s state capitolin Albany back in May while protesting in support of fair wages for restaurant workers.
“And I am so proud ofFran Drescherand the negotiating committee who went in with good faith and were disrespected and didn’t get what was necessary and we understand that it’s a now or never situation.”

Eva, 37, shared her thoughts on growing up as a child of celebrities in aTikTok video she shared back in January after a fan asked whether she grew up with “other ‘celebrity’ kids/families.”
As Eva spoke to her experiences meeting other celebrities' children growing up, she shared that “people who grew up in the industry sometimesliken the experience to growing up in the circus, in the sense that you spend these really surreal periods of time really closely intertwined with other people, whether that’s other people’s families or individuals…. You’re just spending all this quality time with a certain group and you become so, so close. Almost like family.”
