The Speed actress is not new to airplane mishaps, but she recalled during an interview how she was injured on a plane. This was the time when Bullock was traveling with the cast and crew of Hope Floats. While recalling the moment when she got hurt on the plane, the 58-year-old actress said,

“I’m not just clumsy. I injure myself. I was flying to a press junket for ”Hope Floats” on this private plane with Harry Connick Jr. and a bunch of other people. I ran to get my bag, turned around, and all I remember is this flash of light and then my glasses went flying. I had no idea what had happened. And Harry just said, ‘Nobody say anything. She just ran into the wing.’”

She further added,

“There was blood everywhere. I had cut the skin above my eye open. And there was no first aid kit, so we found a bottle of vodka and I cut up some Band-Aids and did a butterfly bandage over the cut.”
