Taking a swipe at the Hollywood, Veteran actress Susan Sarandon said that it is ‘mediocrity’ which is rewarded in the industry.According to a report, Susan made this remark, while she was in London for promoting her new documentary, ‘Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story’, which tells the story of silver screen legend Hedy Lamarr. Talking about Lamarr, Sarandon said, “it’s certainly not a requirement to be smart in my business.”
“Mediocrity is rewarded time and time again. A lot of the time you’re hired because you don’t ask questions. It takes more time to ask questions, it takes more time to fight for something with integrity,” she added.

Sarandon is an acclaimed actress, who won an Academy Award for her performance in ‘Dead Man Walking’ in 1995. She was also vocal on the MeToo movement and addressed the ‘tricky’ nature of films and how they portray sexuality. “It’s very complicated, in my business especially, because it’s all about your sexual currency,” she said.
