Susan Sarandon reveals sexual relationship with David Bowie

Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon has revealed that she once had a sexual relationship with David Bowie, paying tribute to the Thin White Duke as 'extraordinary'.

Speaking to The Daily Beast, Sarandon revealed that the pair made the connection during the filming of 1983 vampire movie, The Hunger - in which she co-starred with Bowie. 

"He's worth idolising. He’s extraordinary," she said. "That was a really interesting period. 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. But Bowie's just a really interesting person, and so bright. He's a talent, and a painter, and… he's great."

Meanwhile, David Bowie has promised fans that 'new music is coming soon', after making another surprise 'speech' at a charity event. Earlier this month,  a charity event to celebrate 50 years of Bowie's music took place in London, when fansite DavidBowieNews report that the Thin White Duke issued the following message:

"This city is even better than the one you were in last year, so remember to dance, dance, dance. And then sit down for a minute, knit something, then get up and run all over the place. Do it. Love on ya. More music soon. David"

The elusive icon, who has made very few public appearances and done absolutely no press in recent years, took 10 years in between 2003's Reality and last year's astounding surprise comeback album, The Next Day, so it looks like the wait between records will be a much shorter one this time around.
