Susan Sarandon has detailed how her activism has left her 'isolated' from her Hollywood peers.

Speaking to Sydney's Saturday Extra, the actress admitted that she wasn't one to shy away from controversy after expressing her staunchly negative opinion on Hillary Clinton during the last US presidential campaign and having her say on the #MeToo movement in light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

However, the Academy Award winner, 71, has admitted that her strong views came at a price - leaving her shunned from people in the industry and even receiving death threats.

'Hard punishment': Susan Sarandon, 71, has detailed how her activism has left her 'isolated' from her Hollywood peers

Speaking of her future, Susan expressed that she didn't want to look back in hindsight and wish she had done something about a particular cause.

'The things that I regret are only things I didn’t say or do, even though I went through a pretty scary time leading up to Iraq, and I certainly - in not supporting Hillary Clinton - ended up getting an enormous amount of heat about that.

Clear in her views, the Thelma and Louise star continued: 'I just know for all the unkind or hurtful things, or scary things that have happened because of an unpopular stand with the war or whatever, I don’t regret it.'

Last year, Susan announced she was glad Hillary Clinton lost the election because she's 'very dangerous' and America would be 'at war.'

The outspoken star faced a furious backlash from the left who accused her of allowing Donald Trump to win because she'd refused to vote for Clinton in the US election.

Sarandon hasn't always been such a staunch Clinton opponent. In 2001, she even backed her for the Senate and posed with the former First Lady during her run.

But that all changed when Clinton voted for the war in Iraq. Since then Sarandon has refused to support the former Secretary of State - even if that meant alienating herself from her fellow liberals.

And while Susan has been adamant that she no regrets for her Clinton opposition, she was slammed from others in Hollywood and even found herself in a war of words with Will and Grace star Debra Messing on Twitter.

Continuing to speak of the lack of support, Susan told Saturday Extra: 'The most harsh punishment is isolation from your tribe.'

She even recalled her experience back at the Oscars in 1993, when she and then partner Tim Robbins wore red ribbons to the ceremony to call attention to HIV-positive Haitians being held at Guantanamo.

Susan - who is a mother to three grown children - recalled that 'no one made eye contact with her' after she was 'kicked out' of the Academy Awards.

The six-time Emmy award nominee also caused scandal for her recent views on the Harvey Weinstein and the broader Hollywood sex scandal.

Speaking to The Guardian, she revealed that not every woman seduced by men 'smoother at seducing than James Toback and Harvey Weinstein' felt like a victim.

'I'm sure... a lot of women felt very flattered to be sleeping with (men other than Toback and Weinstein), even if they didn't get the job.

'There's just a culture, starting in the 60s and 70s, where there was a certain amount of liberation that made it possible for those things to happen without even seeing yourself as a victim.'

But she conceded there are lots who said no, and when they tried to report it they were dealt with a shrug.

'I think the big question here is that if Harvey Weinstein exposed himself to you when you were on a yacht in Cannes and you told everybody – this is Angie Everhart's story – and everyone said: 'Well, that's just Harvey' and it wasn't a big deal – those are the people who are perpetuating it, too.'

'It was only an invitation': Thankfully, Sarandon said she was never put in a situation where 'no' wasn't enough

'A lot of that has changed. And a lot of women are assessing how they feel; were they victimized or did they feel that it was their own choice?'

Thankfully, Sarandon said she was never put in a situation where 'no' wasn't enough.

She revealed that she had never been cornered, battered or forced against her will.

Instead she revealed: 'It was an invitation: 'Yeah, why don't you spend the night now that you're here in the middle of nowhere on location?' And I said: 'No, I gotta get back to my room.' But I didn't feel super offended, because it wasn't a thing that became super difficult.'

Susan has three films for release this year, including the drama Vulture Club, comedy Going Places and biographic flick, Butterfly in the Typewriter.
