He’s Saran-done it this time.
Susan Sarandon has gone viral after appearing in her son’s “Day in the life of a nepo baby” video, which was posted to Instagram on Wednesday.
The satirical video begins with Sarandon’s son Jack Robbins introducing himself and detailing his morning routine.
“Every day I wake up and I do some stretching, drink some water and meditate,” Robbins, 34, says while stretching near a massive photo of his Academy Award-winning mother above his bed. “Meditation is very important to me to start my day.”
Robbins then cuts to himself brushing his teeth with a printed-out Getty Images label taped to his mirror.
“I brush my teeth anywhere from two to three seconds, take my medication for my mouth infection, and then I take a shower,” he says, showing a picture of his father, Tim Robbins, in the iconic scene of “The Shawshank Redemption,” plastered on his tiled wall.
After getting ready for the day, the “Ghostmates” director takes viewers outside to show his “up and coming” Upper East Side neighborhood. He also sports a hat from the 1988 film “Bull Durham,” which his mother starred in.
“Not only is it youthful and full of amazing restaurants, but you can find gifts for all of your friends here,” Robbins jokes, as he shows several elderly neighbors and a pair of high-end shoes in a store window.
“Then it’s off to work. Every day I like to wake up and I undersell shows to HBO or Netflix based on my mood,” he continues. “Today I’m pitching a TV show I thought of yesterday that is basically ‘Star Wars’ set in the sewer system.”
“Sold it,” Robbins deadpans to the camera.
Sarandon herself then makes an appearance when Jack drops by her apartment.
“My mom’s always really excited to see me,” he says, as the camera zooms in on Sarandon, 77, looking exasperated at her son’s arrival.
“[I’m] so grateful for everything Susan Sarandon, my mom, teaches me not only about the movie industry but about life,” he adds. “[Like] taking photos with all her awards and accomplishments and our keys to the city.”
His day comes with some bumps, however, as he admits the pair often get into arguments about money and his inheritance. After the two act out a fight, the “Stepmom” actress takes a nap on her sofa — face first into the cushions.
After her brief rest, Robbins likes to “drain as much talent from my mother’s soul as I possibly can … Yum!”
“And it’s off to bed,” he adds.
Last year, New York magazine called 2022 “The Year of the Nepo Baby,” leaving many famous babies to defend their work and upbringing.
Jack’s post, which has gained nearly 84,200 likes so far on Instagram, has been deluged with comments.
“The few convos I’ve had with [Susan Sarandon] … I am OBSESSED with how cool she is. This makes me so happy,” one user wrote.
“The exasperation on her face when you arrived at her door was the moment for me,” a second fan added.
“Oh my god the ‘Shawshank’ shower,” a third follower posted, while another noted: “I love that she did this with you.”
Sarandon and “Mystic River” actor Tim Robbins, 65, who split in 2009 after 23 years together, are also parents of son Miles Robbins, 31. Sarandon shares daughter Eva Amurri, 38, with ex Franco Amurri, too.
