Susan Sarandon Makes Burning Man Sound Charming as Only Susan Sarandon Can

Susan Sarandon showed up on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night with a cough from Burning Man dust, and despite this somehow made a trip to this bug-infested hellscape sound like the most reasonable vacation in the world.

Sarandon brought renowned psychologist/author Timothy Leary’s ashes with her to Burning Man, drinking some of them and leaving the rest in a chapel she helped build. She said of the frequent dust storms on the playa: “It’s kind of fabulous, because you’ll be there and everything’s sunny and all of a sudden it’s white, and there’s a half-naked woman with a red umbrella walking out of nowhere.”
