Sandy Bullock is ready to put herself out there again in more than one way, two years after taking a break from acting for good.
Sandra has stayed out of the public eye since August 2023, when her longtime partner died of ALS, but she is slowly making her way back to the entertainment business and the dating scene.
In recent sightings, Sandra Bullock was last seen running errands on July 12, just a few weeks before a big birthday.
She was wearing nothing but white clothes and smiled at the photographers as she left a dermatologist’s office in Beverly Hills.
A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is slowly coming back into the public eye.
“She’s excited about what’s to come.” “She’s ready to play again.”
The star, who turned 60 on July 26, is said to have spent some time thinking about what she has done.
Sandra has been in over 50 movies, including the action thriller Speed (1994), which was her big break, as well as Miss Congeniality, The Blind Side, and The Proposal.
In 2005, she got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2014, Forbes ranked her as the second most powerful actress, and Time 100 named her one of the most important people in the world.
So, Sandra’s fans were shocked when they learned she was leaving the spotlight two years ago.
The star said in March 2022 that she would be taking a break from the entertainment business after her new romantic comedy, The Lost City, came out.
“I can be creative, I can be part of a community, but right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause,” she told CBS.
When asked how long she would be away from Hollywood, Sandra said, “I don’t know.”
“I don’t know…until I don’t feel like I feel now when I’m in front of a camera,” she said.
Since then, Sandra’s only acting job has been a short but memorable cameo in the action comedy Bullet Train in 2022, along with Brad Pitt, who played her co-star in Lost City.
She spent more time at home with her son Louis and daughter Layla and also put all of her attention on her photographer partner of eight years, Bryan Randall, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2020.
Sandra, who called Bryan the “love of my life” on an episode of Red Table Talk in 2021, was there for her late boyfriend as he dealt with his illness in private.
ALS is a fatal disease of motor neurons that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord over time. There is no known cure for it.
Bryan passed away on August 6, 2023, after getting sick for three years.
Bryan “chosen early to keep his journey with ALS private,” his family told People in a statement. “Those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.”
Bryan’s death “has been one of the hardest things Sandra’s ever been through,” the source said.
Another source told Us Weekly that Sandra turned to her friends and family for help after Bryan’s death.
“Everyone, from family to close Hollywood friends, helped her in any way they could,” the second source said. “She will always be grateful for that.”
Thanks for coming back to Hollywood.
According to Us, Sandra is ready to go back to work after taking some time to grieve her late partner and focus on raising her children.
From the first source, we learned that Sandra missed acting and that she enjoys working with longtime friends in the business.
Sandra was on the podcast 50 MPH in May, which was about her 1994 hit movie Speed.
She said she would love to work with her old co-star Keanu Reeves again.
Sandy said, “I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera before I die, before I leave this world.”
Keanu, who was on the podcast too, said he would “love” to work with Sandra again.
“I’d love to work with you again before we go to sleep.” “We’d really knock it out of the park,” he said.
There’s been no word yet on a possible Speed 3 movie, but Sandra will be working with another famous person in a new movie.
THE CULT CLASSIC HAS A NEW LIFE
She will be in a movie with Nicole Kidman called Practical Magic 2, which is a follow up to the 1998 movie of the same name.
The first movie got mixed reviews and didn’t do very well at the box office, but it has since become a cult favorite.
Our third source told us, “Sandra is really excited about Practical Magic 2.”
“She loves Nicole very much and can’t wait to spend more time with her.”
The first source said Sandra is still “healing slowly, keeping Bryan’s memory alive and focusing on her children,” as if juggling her return to acting and family life wasn’t hard enough.
She is “open to the possibility” of dating again in the future, but she is also not ruling anything out.
