Sandra Bullock Says She Refused Humiliating Auditions: Comments Ahead of Practical Magic 2 Release
Sandra Bullock told Jennifer Aniston in Interview that she once refused auditions where she was asked to “drop my pants.” The conversation was published as Practical Magic 2 opened in theaters on Friday.
Sandra Bullock told Jennifer Aniston in Interview that early in her career, while living in New York and working as a waitress, she auditioned for men who asked her to “drop my pants,” and she declined those roles. “Nope, not the role for me,” Bullock said in the conversation.
She said early on she accepted what she could because ‘‘every working actor thinks you will never work again,’’ but that she later made a conscious shift away from romantic comedies and took a part in the film Crash.
Crash went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2006; Bullock later won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Blind Side in 2010.
Bullock stars in Practical Magic 2, which was released on Friday. The sequel earned $13 million domestically on Friday, including Thursday previews, and is projected to open the weekend at around or just under $30 million, according to the report.
The Interview cover conversation also covered Bullock’s navigation of public life and her description of Practical Magic 2 as a ‘‘love letter’’ to her daughter; the report does not provide further detailed quotes on those subjects.
