I'm kind of confused, noting the dates on these articles - the first link with info about a Sarandon/Bricklin romance is from 2010, and the last link cites rumors about a Sarandon/Bricklin romance in 2016. By the time I got to the last link, I had already gone off reading some article about Susan Sarandon dating Timothy Leary's ashes, on a pilgramage to Burning Man, and now I don't really feel like looking at her face any more. But since I spent the time, for what it's worth...

Excerpts:

At 63, Susan Sarandon appears to have found the fountain of youth. Newly single after ending her 23-year relationship with Tim Robbins in December, the Oscar winner is glowing and happy – and rumored to be dating a man half her age, entrepreneur Jonathan Bricklin (the pair have denied a romance).

To host Thursday’s bash [Pre-Oscar Ping-Pong Party at West Hollywood’s Skybar], Sarandon joined forces with SPiN New York, the ping-pong club in which she and the 32-year-old Bricklin are co-investors. The star says she first got hooked on the idea of a table tennis-themed bar when she went to ping-pong parties with a girlfriend. That ultimately led her to meet Bricklin – a hard-core ping-pong player and documentarian who had dreams of opening his own club.

The ‘Odd Factor’ - Sarandon admits that her participation in such a venture seemed a little outlandish, but she went for it anyway. In the end, the “odd” factor helped generate interest. “Somehow, my involvement was so absurd that people started investing money,” she tells PEOPLE, laughing. “The rest is history. It ended up being a really great idea because nobody had ping-pong plus a bar plus music plus really nice lighting.”

As for her involvement in SPiN? “Susan is our driving force,” Bricklin says.
