In her latest film, Viper Club, the legendary Susan Sarandon plays the mother of a war correspondent. But off-screen, this 72-year-old powerhouse finds her greatest joy in being the adoring grandma to her daughter Eva Amurri Martino's two precious kids, Marlowe Martino, 4, and Major Martino, who recently turned two. Let’s dive into what makes Susan’s bond with her grandchildren so special.
Meet the Real-Life Role Susan Loves the Most
“They’re thriving,” Susan exclusively shared with Closer Weekly during the Inaugural Together Heart Gala in NYC. “Marlowe is just hilarious—she’s a fearless little clown and incredibly articulate. And Major? Oh, he’s showing off his own personality now. They’re truly divine. I love them.”

What Susan Loves Most About Spending Time With Marlowe and Major
So, what’s Susan’s favorite part about hanging out with her grandkids? “Just being with them,” she gushed. “Marlowe thinks everything is hilarious, and she’s absolutely fearless. Meanwhile, Major is all about doing people’s hair and cleaning at the moment. Who knows how long that phase will last, but it’s adorable while it does!”
Being a Grandma: The Ultimate Upgrade
While Susan is already a mom to three—she shares sons Jack Robbins, 29, and Miles Robbins, 26, with ex Tim Robbins—the actress admits that being a grandma is way easier than being a mom. “It’s so much easier,” she confessed to Today. Interestingly, Eva, who’s 33, revealed during the same interview that her kids don’t call Susan “Grandma.” Instead, they call her “Honey.” How cute is that?

Parenting Advice That Missed the Mark
When it comes to parenting, Susan has faced her fair share of bad advice. In a candid chat with Good Housekeeping, she revealed the worst advice she ever received was before having her first child, daughter Eva. “Someone told me not to have the baby because it would ruin my career,” she recalled. “And besides, I was too old anyway.” Today, Susan couldn’t be happier with her family. “All my kids have a great sense of humor,” she said. “I even have a clown nose for serious conversations—it keeps things from getting too heavy.”
