Susan Sarandon Calls the Pope a Nazi at the Hamptons Film Festival


(Hollywood Reporter) Sarandon was interviewed by Bob Balaban at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor on Saturday. She said she sent the pope a copy of the anti death penalty book, Dead Man Walking, authored by Sister Helen Prejean. Sarandon starred in the 1995 big-screen adaptation.

"The last one," she said, "not this Nazi one we have now."

Balaban tried to dance around the comment, but Sarandon just made it again, Newsday reports. The audience also laughed.
