Susan Sarandon has reunited with her Bill Durham co-star Kevin Costner, 36 years after the film premiered, and the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other!
Both attended the Better World Fund Gala during the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 5, and walked the red carpet hand in hand. Susan, 77, wore a gorgeous black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline which she accented with chunky gold jewelry.

“Such a honor to receive an award from this great organization @better_world_fund And a double treat to spend time with the other honoree and my dear friend, @kevincostner,” Susan later shared with fans on social media, revealing she would also be in attendance at the premiere of his new film Horizon: Chapter Two.

The Better World Fund aims to “raise awareness and funds to promote humanitarian action and sustainable development worldwide” through art, and Susan was an honoree at the event which was held at the Cipriani Hotel.

The passion project, which saw him invest almost $40 million of his own money, premiered the first part in May at Cannes Film Festival to a seven-minute ovation, but it has failed to have significant box office impact or impress critics.
Horizon: Chapter 2 was set to hit theaters as soon as August 16, and while plans to release it in theaters remain the premiere was canceled with a spokesperson for New Line Cinema confirming that they had “decided not to release ‘Horizon: Chapter 2’ on August 16 in order to give audiences a greater opportunity to discover the first installment of ‘Horizon’ over the coming weeks, including on PVOD and Max.”
