It was back in 1983 when the actress was filming for the movie The Hunger. She experienced a serious medical scare that landed her in the hospital. Sarandon was diagnosed with endometriosis, and doctors told her she would not be able to bear children.

Doctors advised her that if she ever wanted to have children, it may require certain precautions and even surgery. Sarandon brushed it off, since she didn’t have any interest in having children at the time. She was quite happy with her life and career as it was.

Shortly after Sarandon traveled to Italy to work on a film, she met a young Italian man named Franco. They barely knew each other and their relationship definitely was not serious. She was 38 when she found out she was pregnant with Franco’s child.
