It’s undeniable that Bullock who is already deep in her 50s looks drop-dead gorgeous and definitely much younger than her age. It’s been widely reported that one of her secrets to staying young and vibrant is getting Chinese acupuncture at least 3 times a week whether she’s at home on or on set. It’s in her contract that studios must pay for it.
Sandra believes in the practice so much, that she even brought a Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist to the set of Murder by Numbers in order to help the crew relieve stress! We can’t say that the evidence for Bullock’s practice isn’t convincing. The proof is definitely in this pudding.
Bullock Used to Match Dresses With Her Mom
As a child, Sandra Bullock would wear matching dresses with her mom, but she didn't love doing it. Bullock’s mother, Helga Meyer, was a German opera singer, soprano, and educator. She used to make all her outfits herself and did the same for Bullock.
“That mortified me as a child because she would make matching minidresses, and we had little gladiator sandals....I didn’t like that feeling,” she told InStyle. "So I went the other way: I went tomboy — jeans, baseball caps. I skated, and rode bikes." Maybe it's just us but jeans or minidress - Sandra Bullock can pull anything off.
She Loves Home Renovating
In an interview with Lifestyle, Bullock shared her love and passion for interior decoration, “Moving furniture or working on one of the properties I’m renovating. It’s heaven, I get up on Sundays, and I’m literally looking at house listings and Remodelista magazine".
Throughout her career, she has built up an impressive real-estate empire by turning her income from films into real estate and owns many homes throughout the United States. She describes it as addictive, as she loves doing a lot of hands-on stuff. And now, knowing all about construction, no one can rip her off.
Sandra Bullock Loved Her Romance With Hugh Grant
Sandra Bullock was best known for a long time as a romantic comedy actress, playing various damsels over the years in relatable and funny love stories. Critiques even pointed out that her "undisputed strength lies in a blend of light drama and comedy". When she wanted to get more serious and start playing dramatic roles, the actress knew she had to distance herself from the string of romantic comedies she played for such a long time.
Her final romantic comedy film was 'Two Weeks Notice' with Hugh Grant, and she definitely wasn’t disappointed. When interviewed by Vogue, she told the magazine, “I had the ultimate romantic partner in Hugh Grant. So I’ve done that nice chapter in my life, and that chapter is closed.”
Breaking Female Stereotypes
When Sandra Bullock returned to Hollywood’s spotlight in 2013 with her action-comedy 'The Heat' alongside Melissa McCarthy, she had a very clear goal of doing a movie that would finally pass the Bechdel–Wallace test. To save you the googling, this test essentially looks into whether an artistic work features at least two women, with names, whose dialogue had nothing to do with men. The successful movie definitely accomplished that.
In an interview with Parade, Bullock told the publication how she'd always wanted to do a female "buddy film," you know the kind the male actors get to do, that doesn't have anything to do with getting a guy, and it didn’t involve shopping.
