The actress opened up about their love affair...
Susan Sarandon has certainly had her share of interesting relationships!The 67-year-old actress, who is currently dating her 36-year-old business partner Jonathan Bricklin, was linked to director Tim Robbins for 23 years, but it was the relationships she had earlier in her life that are the most surprising. In a new interview with The Daily Beast, Susan revealed that she once dated David Bowie.
"He's worth idolizing," she said. "He's extraordinary. That was a really interesting period."

The couple dated in 1983 when they co-starred in The Hunger. Susan had just divorced her college sweetheart, Chris Sarandon, four years earlier and says she was not interesting in getting into another serious relationship at the time she and Bowie were hooking up.
"I wasn't supposed to have kids, and I'm the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn't ever in a mode to where I was looking to settle down and raise a family, so that definitely changes the gene pool you're dipping into," she said. "But Bowie's just a really interesting person, and so bright."

While their relationship didn't last, Susan had nothing but wonderful things to say about her famous ex-boyfriend, who went on to marry model Iman in 1992.
"He's a talent, and a painter, and… he's great," she said.
