America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock achieved mega-stardom with her movie career, spanning over four decades. The most famous celebrity mom, however, fell prey to her urges back in her teenage days. Bullock once revealed that her mother’s strict parenting style put a hold on her intense s*x drive and wish to become a mother at 17, something that could have ruined her career.
Sandra Bullock’s Mother Had To Keep Her Under Lock And Key
Sandra Bullock wouldn’t have been the most bankable actress in Hollywood that she eventually became if she decided to follow her teenage urges. The 58-year-old actress revealed in a 2018 interview with Entertainment Tonight:
“I would have been pregnant or knocked up at 17. I wanted to be a mom at a very young age. So I kind of felt the drive and the desire to.”
“My mother knew that and she kept me under lock and key.”
A Time to Kill actress shared that her mother’s strict parenting style pushed her to focus on her career and accumulate the wealth that she boasts today. The supermom, who ended up adopting two children, further lobbied for more people to embrace the practice. She flaunts a $250 million net worth today.
Sandra Bullock’s Progressive Approach Towards Adoption Inspired Many Celebrities!
While every life is equally valued in the eyes of God, Sandra Bullock is a perfect example of how one becomes a forever parent the minute one accepts the love of that child. After adopting a son, Louis, whom she found during the devastating time of Hurricane Katrina, Bullock has remained vocal about the importance of adoption.
Bullock revealed in a separate interview:
“I looked at [Louis], and I just said, ‘Oh, there you are. It’s like he had always been there. It’s like he fit in the crook of my arm. He looked me in the eyes, and he was just — he was wise.
My child was wise. The beautiful thing that I was constantly told was, ‘The perfect child will find you. You will find your child.’”
In 2015, the Bird Box actress adopted a second child, Laila. Bullock further opened up that there are “hundreds of thousands of children ready to be your child.” The actress has continued to inspire many people to embrace adoption. Despite her mammoth success, Bullock’s first priority is her children.
