Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston have been in the film industry for over three decades and have given incredible performances over the years. Being so popular, they obviously knew about each other but did not meet until they were introduced by their ex Tate Donovan at the 2010 Golden Globes.
As the duo recalled meeting for the first time during their interview, Bullock opened up about what she expected the Bruce Almighty actress to be like. She hoped that Aniston was the same kind-hearted and genuine person as she appeared to everyone.
“You allowed yourself to look foolish, heartbroken, clumsy, like an idiot,” Bullock said before adding, “You said, ‘Yeah, I might look like this, but guess what? I have the same failings and insecurities you do.'” During the interview, the Bird Box actress said that she wanted her to be exactly like that, or she would have been disappointed.
And she was assured after meeting Aniston as she was as authentic and kind as she appeared to be. They have since become best friends and drinking buddies. The Hollywood stars have also shared moments celebrating birthdays and Halloween festivities together.

However, neither she nor the Damages actor revealed the reason behind their split. Shortly after their break up, Donovan got into a relationship with Jennifer Aniston.

While his relationship did not work out with either of them, his exes did not have any bad blood against each other. “Yes, and we were introduced by our former boyfriend. I say ‘our’ because you and I both partook of this one human being,” Bullock revealed during the interview.
