EBN- On July 26, international actress Sandra Bullock turned 60, saying that age is “a wonderful thing.”
Sandra Bullock appeared with a pre-recorded message during the Today with Hoda and Jenna live broadcast on Monday, August 12, to celebrate the birthday of the show’s host Hoda Kotb.
Bullock spoke about the new phase of her life, which she described as a mountain that one climbs over the course of one’s life, saying, “I’m tired because I had to climb that mountain so I could examine the terrain and see things clearly, and it’s weird that people want us to be afraid of what it might look like when we get there (aging). It turns out it’s pretty awesome.”
Bullock ended the video with a personal message to Hoda Kotb, whose birthday was August 9. “Happy birthday, my dear friend. Thank you for letting me be in your circle.”
