Susan Sarandon had a relationship with David Bowie, it has been revealed. The "Thelma and Louise" actress is best known for her 21-year relationship with fellow actor Tim Robbins, which ended in 2009. But according to the latest revelation, five years before they got together Susan and David had a fling while filming the 1983 vampire flick "The Hunger."
The affair was accidentally exposed by Susan's co-star in the upcoming film "Tammy" - Melissa McCarthy. "Melissa totally let the cat out of the bag," a source close to Susan revealed according to The Daily Mail. "It has been thirty years and Susan has never publicly discussed her fling with Bowie so she was totally shocked when Melissa blurted it out openly."
In "Tammy," Melissa plays Susan's granddaughter so she was the perfect choice to introduce her at the AARP's Annual Movies for Grownups Awards Gala in Beverly Hills where she was receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award.
But during her introduction, Melissa slipped up, saying, "Susan is so cool - I mean she dated David Bowie!"
While Susan took the slip up in her stride, the audience appeared stunned. The source continued: "This affair happened a very long time ago when Susan and Bowie were both young and carefree. Susan has fond memories of the love affair, but throughout the years has kept it private. [Melissa] feels a little embarrassed now as she had no idea that Susan and David's relationship wasn't public knowledge."
