Susan Sarandon Takes a ‘Thelma & Louise’-Style Joyride in Justice’s ‘Fire’ Music Video
Susan Sarandon channeled her “Thelma & Louise” days for Justice’s new “Fire” music video. In the fun and playful clip, the actress portrays a mechanic who takes the French electronic duo, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, on a joyride in the desert.
The video has an ‘80s vibe with Sarandon dressed in washed-out blue jeans and a simple white t-shirt. She’s first seen welding and changing outfits before talking the guys out for a spin. “Fire” is directed by Pascal Teixera who explained that the treatment for the video was inspired by a conversation about washing a car.
“On a hot summer afternoon, Gaspard and I were in Xavier’s kitchen, collectively daydreaming about washing a car. The year we like for car design, the make, where that could take place, how much soap, the mood, the sun, and there should be a woman to go cruising with, an iconic mix of cool, allure and strength. Susan Sarandon of course!” the director said in a statement, via Entertainment Weekly. “And then a couple months later we’re in the desert, with the car and a lot of soap, and by some weird miracle there she is, even more amazing than we had fantasized her to be, ready to go for a drive.”
