Susan Sarandon, George Clooney, Sean Penn and Seth Rogan read Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel has returned with some mean tweets just in time for an Oscar’s themed special. 

For the movie edition, Kimmel invited Sean Penn, Kevin Hart, Emily Blunt and a number of other actors to read disparaging tweets about themselves.

Among them was Susan Sarandon, who recently tackled slut-shaming after being criticised for showing her chest in an outfit at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. After shutting down her biggest critic Piers Morgan on Twitter, she had a message for her mean tweeter who took umbrage with seeing her cleavage. 

Taraji P. Henson also had an excellent challenge for a mean tweeter who suggested she might be “ghetto” in real life. Meanwhile, Eddie Redmayne couldn't help but agree with his tweeter's suggestion that he looks like "someone tried to erase his nose, but couldn’t completely [...] and is perpetually dehydrated".
