Sandra Bullock pauses career after 35 years to be with her adopted kids 24/7
Too often do we see Hollywood A-listers losing their moral compass, putting compassion and kindness by the wayside and falling so in love with themselves that they forget they were once just like any other hard-working, salt-of-the-earth person.
Yet, every once in a while, a celebrity comes along that bucks the trend.
You know the type we’re talking about. Individuals like Keanu Reeves and Michael J. Fox, like Ashton Kutcher and so many others. They use their social standing not to empower themselves or continue climbing the invisible ladder constructed by fame, but rather to do what they can to help others.
Sandra Bullock, I think we can all agree, deserves a strong mention when discussing this category.
That she is one of the brightest acting stars out there cannot be denied. Bullock has been a mainstay of Hollywood for 35 years now, her films loved by millions of fans across the world.

Difficult as it may be to believe, there was a time when Sandra Bullock didn’t think herself capable of being a worthy mother to kids.
The actress herself has spoken openly in the past of her fears where it came to the idea of having children – daughters, specifically – as she became obsessed with the idea that they could potentially turn out like her.
As per reports, Bullock’s mother, Helga, gave her advice when she was younger that initially turned her off the idea of having children.
“The thought that a daughter of mine would be anything like I was scared me senseless,” Bullock admitted.
That all changed, however, when Helga was on her deathbed. Bullock told how she was at her mother’s side in hospital when she warned Sandra to open up more and not be like her.
It was advice that Sandra took to heart. The actress confirmed that heading into her 40s, she was of the mind that she might not become a mother at all.
