Sandra Bullock Says She Auditioned for "Every Pervert That Existed" During Early Career
Bullock said she left rom-coms after being criticized for them and turned to dramatic roles to expand her range, including Crash.
- In an Interview magazine article published September 8, Sandra Bullock told Jennifer Aniston she faced inappropriate audition requests while working as a waitress in New York, recalling encountering "every pervert that existed" asking her to "drop my pants."
- After the 2002 release of Two Weeks Notice, Bullock decided to pivot from rom-coms, telling Aniston, "I need to stop right now with the rom-coms," because she was receiving negative feedback. She then accepted a role in the 2004 ensemble drama Crash.
- Jennifer Aniston emphasized that the industry tends to "pooh-pooh comedies," even though they are not as easy as they look. Bullock admitted she misses shooting comedies "now more than ever," revealing, "I want to do nothing but that now."
- Bullock is currently starring in Practical Magic 2, which released Friday, marking her first film in four years. She discussed the original 1998 film's difficult reception, noting that social media helped audiences explain why it remained important.
- Her latest project follows The Lost City, her 2022 collaboration with Channing Tatum. Practical Magic 2 grossed $13 million domestically on Friday, as Bullock continues revisiting the films that shaped her career and the choices she made to move beyond them.
