Susan Sarandon has opened up in a candid interview. 

The 70-year-old actress has described her sexual orientation these days as "open" saying, "My sexual orientation is up for grabs, I guess you could say."

Sarandon says she hasn't been able to take full advantage of her sexual fluidity because of her past relationships with ex-husbands Chris Sarandon and Tim Robbins. 

"I'm a serial monogamist," she said, "so I haven't really had a large dating career. I haven't exactly been in the midst of a lot of offers of any kind. I'm still not! I don't know what's going on! But I think back in the '60s it just was much more open.

"I did at one point have a very successful and very loving and wonderful affair with a man who then wasn't with another woman after me, and that worked out fine!" she divulged. "I don't think you had to declare yourself as rigidly as you do now."

That affair was with British actor Philip Sayer, who died in 1989, and the two were co-stars in the 1983 vampire film, The Hunger.

"He was gay, and we had a great relationship in every way," she said.
