In Hollywood, there can be always be more then one America’s sweetheart, and Sandra Bullock certainly makes the
cut. She has been able to turn her special combination of awkward, lovable and sexy into box office dollars and engages her audiences equally in romantic comedies and action films.
Her next feature film “The Proposal” hits theaters on June 19th. She and Ryan Reynolds appear to be a great match, and this film promises to take the sexy component of her appeal to the next level. Rumor has it that 44 year-old Bullock is going to appear nude in this flick, and I don’t think the producers would have done it, and certainly would not have hyped it, if she didn’t look GOOD. She confirmed the rumor in an interview with Glamour Magazine (which rocks?), and hopes the fans line up outside to see it. In fact, she said she would be offended if they didn’t.
Love Life: She was engaged to actor Tate Donovan whom she met while filming Love Potion No. 9 (they dated 4 years). She has dated Troy Aikman, Austin musician Bob Schneider (for two years) and actors Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Gosling. She’s now married to Jesse James of Monster Garage (he was married to porn star Janine Lindemuler.
Family: Born in Arlington County, Virginia, her mom is Helga D. Meyer (a German opera singer and part-time vocal coach) and her dad is John W. Bullock, (a Pentagon contractor, executive from Alabama). Because of mom she speaks German and is even duel citizen…who knew?
