Thirty-five years of an active career, and Sandra Bullock is showing no signs of slowing down in her popularity. Although her acting beginnings aren't the nicest periods of time to look back on, the actress has worked her way up and is now worth over $250 million. She has been named the highest-paid actress on numerous occasions, and her talent has earned her Academy Award nominations, as well as Golden Globes nominations.
The star has been slowly venturing into different fields as well, following the tradition of Hollywood celebrities. It's only natural that Bullock's been getting various invitations to appear on global talk shows to tell her story.
One such invitation came from the Graham Norton Show. Due to the comedic nature of the talk show, the host didn't ask about pressing matters such as Bullock's multiple experiences with her stalkers, or the dissolution of her marriage to Jesse James (and how it impacted her kids). Instead, he touched upon topics his audience found more amusing—including a line of questioning that led to a NSFW "confession" from Sandra Bullock.
Ellen DeGeneres Claims Sandra Bullock Owes Her Career To The Talk Show Host For This Specific Reason
Ellen DeGeneres thinks she made Sandra Bullock's entire career (and wouldn't let it go during an interview).
Sandra Bullock Has Acted In A Variety Of Roles
It's safe to say that Bullock's no stranger to challenging herself, and trying out various genres of the film industry. Kicking off her career with minor roles in action-thriller movies such as The Demolition Plan helped her gain attention from the masses.
It helped her have her breakthrough with the thriller film Speed, a role that Halle Berry herself turned down. The actress then landed roles that would become synonymous with her name, such as the romantic comedy While You Were Sleeping, or Miss Congeniality even though it contained scenes Bullock wanted to be removed.
The start of a new millennium brought the actress to an undefeatable status with comedies such as Ocean's 8, The Lost City, and Netflix's hit Bird Box, which she was reluctant to appear in.
After One Of The Most Awkward Interviews On The Today Show Sandra Bullock Admitted She'd Never Return
From start to finish, Matt Lauer was relentless about a certain topic of conversation alongside Sandra Bullock on the Today Show.
Although the actress' repertoire offers a rich variety of different movies to watch, one that's often quoted as very cherished is her romantic comedy The Proposal. It happens to be the same movie Bullock was asked about when she appeared on the Graham Norton Show.
The comedy focuses on Bullock as a Canadian editor-in-chief who faces deportation from the U.S. because of her visa renewal. Her assistant (Ryan Reynolds), whom she hates, is forced to act as her fiancé to help her keep her U.S. citizen status.
Sandra Shocked Graham Norton With Her Thoughts On Nude Scenes
The Graham Norton Show has been on air for more than sixteen years. The BBC's eccentric show host has managed to create a lot of viral celebrity moments over the years. It rings true with Bullock as well, given her frequent visits on the show.
When having the actress over, Norton couldn't resist asking about Bullock's nude scene in The Proposal. The scene is often referenced, even by Ryan Reynolds himself, who shares the moment on screen with Bullock. In the scene, Bullock and Reynolds run into each other naked, which makes them fall on top of each other.
Was Sandra Bullock Secretly Married To Her Late Partner Bryan Randall? Sources Say Yes
Sanda Bullock and her late partner may have actually tied the knot.
When the host queried Bullock about the logistics behind the moment, he was shocked to learn that the actress finds scenes like that very funny, as opposed to the audience's assumptions.
Bullock openly admitted that she only agrees to nude scenes if it assists the humor of the movie; she says nudity is never sexy. Rather, she finds naked bodies comedic, which garnered some laughter from the other interviewees as well as the audience.
The interview took an unexpected turn when the actress started giving examples to Samuel L. Jackson (who was also seated on Graham's couch) to defend her stance. Bullock might have hinted that she's been recorded while getting intimate as she explained that movies and real life are far different from each other.
Bullock seemed plainly unembarrassed, though she did point out that she wasn't necessarily speaking from experience with the personal filming aspect.
She didn't let the topic get to her head, as she ended the discussion with a light-hearted joke directed at Norton. The conversation was all in good spirits though, as even Reynolds teases his colleague about it to this day.
Fans Love Sandra Bullock For How Relatable She Is
Despite the lack of Bullock's personal digital footprint, her fans adore the actress to pieces and are always quick to jump to her defense when she faces controversies. Similar moments to the Graham Norton Show one are the precise reason why fans love her so much.
Bullock is always quick-witted with her responses, and nothing ever seems to faze her. The surrounding others seem to naturally match her relaxed vibe, as she creates an at-ease atmosphere. A likable personality tends to enhance one's beauty, which definitely fits Bullock's case, as many who have met her claim she's even more beautiful in person.
