Actress Sandra reflects on fellow stars
Actress Sandra Bullock has described Hugh Grant as the most photogenic person she has ever met.
But she claims the British actor would never be in a beauty pageant as he is “too honest”.
Bullock plays a beauty contestant in her latest flick, Miss Congeniality 2, and said she would crown former co-star Grant Mr Photogenic.
She picked Sylvester Stallone as Mr Articulate, describing him as “one of the funniest people” she knows.
The Best in Swimwear award went to William Shatner while her friend Matthew McConaughey was crowned Mr American Pie.
Bullock describes Keanu Reeves as Mr Noble. “He’s smart, too. And doesn’t feel the need to let you know it,” she told the New York Daily News.
Ben Affleck, who she claims is always late, was named Mr Un-Punctuality. “We called it Ben time,” she said.
Bullock reveals that three years ago she wanted to play the female boxer in Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby before Clint Eastwood became involved and Hilary Swank got the part.
But the script, by Paul Haggis, was difficult to sell. “We couldn’t get it made. Studios thought it wouldn’t make money,” she said.
“But everything happens the way it’s supposed to. The scripts I get, I sometimes say: ’I’m not supposed to make this film.’
“That’s not at all what I thought about Million Dollar Baby – I wanted to do it. It was hard (to let it go), but when I later heard it was finally getting made, I said: ’Okay, I’m not insane, someone else thought it was good, too.”’
