Susan Sarandon Monologues Sabrina Carpenter’s Existential Crisis

If you were about to headline Coachella at the age of 26, what would be going through your mind? Excitement? Nervousness? An existential crisis that can only be properly conveyed through Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon. In the middle of Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella headlining set, Saradon monologued as an older Sabrina, looking back on her life. A perfect way to return to Hollywood SabrinaWood after allegedly getting blacklisted from Hollywood for speaking out for Palestine. In the seven-minute monologue, she thinks about her niece, who doesn’t connect the photos of Celebrity Sabrina to Aunt Sabrina, saying, “Aunt Sabrina is happy, but she doesn’t smile.”

Sarandon/Older Carpenter also explains how when you’re famous, people only see the glitz and glamour but not the “nasty people” or “vampires” who lurk behind the scenes. She also looked back on her childhood self, admiring those who came before her in Hollywood. “Because when I see somebody that has really accomplished something and they’ve figured it out and it’s really impossible and you’re a little kid and you see that or even now when I see it, these people that have done the impossible,” she ponders. “Well, you realize, you know, once upon a time they didn’t know what they were doing, but they had all this courage and they had conviction and they had they had themselves and they did it. And that means you could do it, too.”
