After all of the crap Sandra Bullock dealt with in her first and only marriage to Jesse James, she kept her romantic life out of the headlines. I didn?t even realize that she had been with Bryan Randall for the better part of eight years, that?s how low-key they were as a couple. They met in 2015 and they were together ever since. Last year, Sandra spoke about needing a break and being ?burnt out.? Most of us didn?t blink an eye or think anything of it, but it turns out that she took this break to care for Bryan, who battled ALS in the last three years of his life. Bryan Randall passed away on Sunday.
Sandra Bullocks longtime partner Bryan Randall died over the weekend, his family revealed in a statement to PEOPLE on Monday. He was 57.
It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS, his family shared. Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.
We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours, his family added. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan, the statement concluded, signed, His Loving Family.
Bullock, 59, first met Randall, a model-turned-photographer, when he photographed her son Louiss birthday in January 2015. They took their relationship more public later that year, including an appearance at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Therouxs wedding.
Bullock, who is mother to her son Louis, 13, and daughter Laila, 10, addressed the topic of marriage during a December 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk.
I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children? three children, [Randalls] older daughter. Its the best thing ever, Bullock said at the time. I dont wanna say do it like I do it, but I dont need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother, she said, adding, I dont need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I dont need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.
[From People]
This is so sad and so devastating for Sandra. There were photos, over the years, of Sandra and Bryan just doing normal-family things in LA, like going out for some ice cream or taking the kids somewhere. It was a real partnership and more of a marriage, frankly, then that Jesse James bullsh-t. He always sounded like such a solid guy. What an utter tragedy.

Sandra Bullocks latest movie wasThe LostCity, which I really liked and apparently so did others because it pulled in $187.7 million worldwide. Sandra, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, and DaVine Joy Randolph were all great in their roles. Sandra was approached by Paramount to produce and star in the movie andThe Hollywood Reporter wrote a feature on what went into making the movie and its getting past the $100 million mark domestically. A lot of the article is a bit inside baseball, but it also dives into Sandras recent comments that shes going to take a break from acting.
During interviews around the time of SXSW, Bullock revealed she was going to take a break from acting and producing to focus on her two children (she was working back-to-back on The Lost City and The Unforgivable). All told, the Oscar-winning actress has starred in 50 films.
?I don?t want to be beholden to anyone?s schedule other than my own,? Bullock says. ?I?m so burnt out. I?m so tired, and I?m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it.? She won?t say how long this break might last. ?I really don?t know.?
Adds Bullock: ?Work has always been steady for me, and I?ve been so lucky. I realized it possibly was becoming my crutch. It was like opening up a fridge all the time and looking for something that was never in the fridge. I said to myself, ?Stop looking for it here because it doesn?t exist here. You already have it; establish it, find it and be OK not having work to validate you.??
Bullock says producing The Lost City with Chasin was a fabulous experience, as was working with Paramount, which allowed her the kind of creative freedom and respect she hasn?t always experienced. ?I love working with artists, and that?s why Liza and I were very well-matched,? Bullock says. ?If I?m going out with a bang, I want to go out with the right person.?
Adds Chasin of their future, ?Sandy and I are going to do something together. It might just be baking cookies. We don?t know what it is yet ? it might be a movie ? but it is going to be great.?
So where does that leave the possibility of a Lost City sequel? Paramount sources say they?d love to find more treasure with Bullock and Chasin.

Sandra occupies the position of being both extremely prolific and well-regarded as an actress, so it makes sense that (a) she would be burned out and (b) that if she steps away she will be able to come back when shes ready and pick and choose her projects. Julia Roberts scaling back her acting projects for a while comes to mind as well. After being everywhere from like 1995-2009, Sandra does sometimes take a few years between projects now. It sounds like shes planning to do that again, but for an indefinite amount of time. Her comment about going out with a bang is interesting though. It really makes it sound like Sandra has no new projects planned for the foreseeable future and shes not even thinking generally about when her break might end. If shes tired and has the ability to step away from the thing burning her out, I cant fault her for that. Sandra probably wants to spend more time with her kids and her partner. Sounds like Paramount would love for her break to be short though.

Sandra Bullock gave a quick interview to The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet at The Unforgivable premiere, which theyre just reporting now. She praised Netflix for giving her work and for helping tell stories that werent covered on major networks or American movies before the rise of streaming. She also said that she really didnt expect to be working as a woman at 57. It sounded like she told it in a joking way but that she meant it. That just makes me sad. Heres some of what she said.
Netflix confirmed in recent days that viewers spent enough time with The Unforgivable for it to claim a spot in the top 10 most watched titles in the streamer?s history. But you won?t catch Bullock poring over the data.
?You can?t, you can?t,? she told The Hollywood Reporter of obsessing over its value at The Unforgivable premiere in December. But what she will do is praise Netflix for employing talent of a certain age. ?They?re good to artists. They?re good to filmmakers. If it wasn?t for Netflix, a lot of people wouldn?t be working. Their stories wouldn?t be told. Who would think that me, as a woman, would still be working at this point? I would have been out in the cow pasture. It?s true.?
Jokes aside, the 57-year-old actress-producer continued that hits like Squid Game wouldn?t happen without the power of Netflix. ?That?s one of the bigger ones, but I?ve seen more work from other countries told by other nationalities, and we never would have had that 10 years ago, ever. It brings people together in a way that really, you know, we?re getting more and more divided and yet, we have the streamers that are able to blend our stories together and go, look, same story, just different.?
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
This is Sandra Bullock, an incredibly talented and universally beloved Oscar winner, just assuming shes not going to get work after a certain age and being grateful that Netflix has hired her. Imagine being in an industry gatekeeped by creepy old white men where youre washed up at 40. The more I learn about that Hollywood, the more toxic, sexist and racist it sounds. Things are changing gradually as we have so many more venues for filmmakers and actors, but its not soon enough.
I honestly havent seen The Unforgivable yet as my attention span is shot (see this article), but I saw Sandra on Kimmel a few weeks ago and she was delightful. The Unforgivable does not have a great Rotten Tomatoes rating, but Ive heard good things about it, particularly Sandra and Viola Daviss performances.
The Lost City, with Channing Tatum and Sandra, is coming out on March 25th in theaters. Ill VOD it because it looks awesome. Also, I just googled it and a Bird Box 2 is happening! I will watch that although the original hits different now, you know? We have no idea if Sandra is interested or when it will be released.

Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt and Daniel Radcliffe made a movie together. It sounds random enough, but then the plot is just completely bonkers. I can actually see the start point for The Lost City, formerly called The Lost City of D. They were trying to make a modernized Romancing the Stone. Romancing the Stone is one of my favorite movies, and I?m thankful that this is not any kind of strict remake. The writers just took the essence of RTS to make something involving a romance novelist, the himbo model on the cover of her books, and an eccentric (and dumb??) millionaire. As for Pitt?s character? I guess we?re supposed to buy him as the real hero? But I don?t think his role is very big, so who knows. Here?s the first trailer for The Lost City:
I?ll be pretty annoyed if they made Bullock wear that purple jumpsuit for most of the movie. But yeah, Channing and Sandra?s chemistry looks great. Big surprise, two of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood have chemistry together and perfect timing with one another. I bet they had a total blast making this. Brad?s wig looks very bad, and the plot makes zero sense, but sure. I will definitely watch this.

Its hard for me to get back in the swing of premieres and awards shows again after nearly two years, and I bet its so much worse for the celebrities. You cant really tell when they show up looking as incredible as Sandra Bullock did last night in LA. Sandra was at the premiere of The Unforgivable, her Netflix movie streaming on December 10th and out in limited release now. Its about a woman trying to rebuild her life after shes released following a 20 year sentence for killing a cop.
We just saw Sandra on Kimmel in a fabulous velvet dark purple suit and here she is in a full length silver sequin Stella McCartney jumpsuit. I wish the pants were tailored better but other than that this fits her like a glove. This looks so good with that black suit jacket and the cool matching clutch. Sandy is back!
Jon Bernthal was there, looking like a whole snack in a brown striped suit. I love how hes posing like hes about to throw a punch. I think he plays Sandras characters love interest.
The other top names in this movie are Viola Davis and Vincent DOnofrio and unfortunately neither were there. I would have loved to see Viola and wonder why she didnt make it. Shes probably not in the swing of going to premieres yet and/or is understandably cautious. From what I can find Vincent lives in New York so he may have chosen not to travel. (Hes also in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, where he plays Jerry Falwell, and he went to premieres for that in September and October.)
Aisling Franciosi plays Sandras characters little sister. Im not familiar with her but shes a 28-year-old Irish actress and she was in The Fall and Game of Thrones. This is a pretty dress and looks festive. I like the asymmetric mesh overlay.
What was Anne Heche doing there and why is she so wacky? Shes not in it, I checked.

Sandra Bullock is promoting The Unforgivable, which is out in theaters now and is coming to Netflix on December 10th. Vincent DOnofrio and Viola Davis are also in it! Sandra was on Kimmel and I didn?t realize until I saw her interview how much I missed her. We haven?t seen her since Bird Box, which came out in late 2018, well before we knew how prescient it was. (I havent seen it since but I am assuming it will hit differently now.)
Sandra was so charming and funny on Kimmel. She was wearing a fabulous deep purple velvet suit. She opened by explaining that her daughter Laila, 9, has seen Miss Congeniality but that her son Louis, 11, has not. Louis likes superhero movies and loves Spider-Man like a lot of kids with excellent taste. He even advised his mom not to take a job on a non-Marvel movie and she later realized he was right. Heres some of what she said and the video is below.
On if her kids watch her shows
[Laila] does, Louis does not. I am not his cup of tea. He likes Japanese anime. Hes obsessed with Spider-Man. The whole YouTube fan [stuff].
There was a rumor that you were going to be in the third Spider-Man movie
If that were a rumor that my son had heard do you know how much I could get him to do in the house? Mommy do you need any help?
On if Marvel has approached her
I dont think Im Marvel material. Ive never been approached by Marvel. I was approached for something that wasnt Marvel but my son said not to do it.
Was it a DC universe?
No. It was not in a place that Louis thought I should be. He was right. I saw it when it came out and I went ooh thats unfortunate. He was like six when he asked me not to do it. I forget their ages often it could have been four, seven or eight.
[From Jimmy Kimmel Live on YouTube]
Louis is 11 now, so this movie which was not DC or Marvel was casting around 2015-2016. Power Rangers the movie came out in May, 2017. I feel like a six-year-old would be able to tell their mom that would be crap. Other than that I got nothing. Louis sounds so much like my son! He is also opinionated, has always been bright for his age and loves Spider-Man. Spider-Man is the best superhero.
After that Sandra told a cute story about working at a restaurant and quitting when she was told she had to return a big tip. She also said she loves true crime shows, but only when the killer is already caught and its not a cold case. In The Unforgivable she plays a woman who gets out of prison after serving 20 years for killing a cop. On Kimmel she spoke so eloquently about how the prison system traps people who are desperate and poor. You could tell she empathized with her character. Im really looking forward to The Unforgivable and Im betting she gets some nominations for that. Viola might too!

Kaiser covered Jennifer Aniston?s Interview spread yesterday, the one in which she chatted with her friend Sandra Bullock and talked about seeing snapshots of her future. During that piece, Sandra talked about her future as well. Sandra?s is not so much about relaxing at the beach as it is stalking her children whenever they go. She (jokingly) said that she has given her kids a list of colleges they can attend based on where she wants to live, because she plans to be right next to wherever they end up.
Close to her kids! Sandra Bullock is already planning how she?ll handle her children leaving home for college.
?I gave them the places where they can go ? because that?s where Mommy feels comfortable living,? the actress, 55, joked with Jennifer Aniston of Louis, 10, and Laila, 8, in the Friends alum?s March 2020 Interview cover story, published on Tuesday, February 11. ?I said, ?You can go to these three colleges because I?m going to buy an apartment down the street.??
Aniston, 51, said that the Bird Box star should start ?building a college at the bottom of the hill right now.? The Los Angeles native explained, ?By the time Louis and Laila are at the right ages, it?ll be: ?I?ll just drive you there every single day. We can even walk and make it a physical experience.??
[From Us]
This really made me laugh. Trying to come to terms with your children not living under your roof is kind of hard to grapple with. I strongly believe that living away for college is a good experience for anyone that can do it (and I realize not everyone can). But good googley-moogley, I remember the heartbreak of my brothers going off to school, what am I going to do when it?s the little beasts I raised? Although, if I send them far enough away that they cannot return to have me do their laundry, that?ll ease the pain some.
Sandra also talked about bringing up kids in this electronic age:
Bullock went on to share her anxieties about raising little ones in a world where ?screens are everywhere,? telling Aniston, ?I look at everyone who is trying to raise kids, and I go, ?How are we supposed to raise children outside of a bubble? And show them the difference between right and wrong, and what kindness looks like, when it?s really hard to find it with all the noise on a screen?? Do you just keep pointing to a higher power, going: ?You have to answer to that thing. Don?t look at anything here on Earth. Just point up there???
I don?t have any answers because my kids aren?t adults yet so who knows how they will turn out. But we have access to the same media they do. So if a parent can keep a kid talking to them, find out what they are watching and listening to, we can still check it out, see what information is coming at them, find ways to discuss it. It?s scary, absolutely, but it isn?t unnavigable. But, yeah, I?ve asked myself, ?How are we supposed to raise children outside of a bubble?? many times, as I?m sure my folks did before me.

When covering Sandra Bullock recently I realized that the last thing we saw her in was Bird Box, which came out over a year ago. That was how they introduced her last night toom by referencing Bird Box. Where has she been?! Sandra was a presenter and she wore this dramatic Oscar de la Renta gown. The color looked more mustard on screen and it wasnt the best, but it looks worse in these photos. It wasnt that orange. The bottom is too fussy and ruffled for me but I like that she went with a big ball gown.

Sandra Bullock has been promoting her Netflix film Bird Box for weeks now. It?s interesting to see even the biggest old-school movie stars like Sandy and Julia Roberts hopping on the streaming train, and as they?ve found out, they still have to promote their Amazon or Netflix movies or projects like any theatrical release. Which means that there are premieres and screenings and tons of interviews.
Sandra stepped out in New York for a screening of Bird Box last night. This was her look a stiff, taffeta-looking Martin Grant gown in a shade of orange-red. I really, really dislike this. I mean, I appreciate that she got all dressed up, but bless her heart, she?s never been a Fashion Girl and it?s just never going to happen for her. The sculptural sh-t at the waist is killing me. Also: I always give Gwyneth Paltrow a lot of crap for never changing her hair beyond the ?90s, but we could say the same about Sandra too. She?s been doing this flat-ironed, center-part look for years. It?s kind of tired.
Sandra was on The Late Show last night and she explained Bird Box a little bit. It sounds like a very odd film.

Sandra Bullock is promoting her post apocalyptic horror movie streaming on Netflix, Bird Box. Netflix, for all its internal problems, is really killing it lately. They just announced that their new family-friendly Christmas movie, The Christmas Chronicles starring Kurt Russell as a hot Santa, got 20 million streams in just a week. (I thought it was really cute.) Bird Box is out December 21 and while it probably wont get that many views, its sure to do well. Entertainment Tonight has a press junket interview with Sandra and her costar, Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight). Sandra, 54(!), was asked if she knew what came up when you google her and she said she didnt want to know, but thought it was breast enhancement. When interviewer Kevin Frazier said it was mostly about how she hasnt aged she joked that she sleeps in a special chamber, but then got real-ish about it, admitting that it took over two hours to do her hair and makeup. After that she and Trevante joked about getting competitive with their fitness on set and it was so cute. You could tell theyre close and I came away from this wanting to hear more from him. The video is on ET Online and here are some excerpts.
On google results that say she doesnt age
Sandra: Im sleeping in a container that is devoid of of outside carcinogens, that helps lift what you dont have and come on, please! The only time you see me is when I do press junkets. Do you know how many hours of hair and makeup this took? Two and a half hours!
Im going to work this look all day today and then Im going to go home and take a shower and then its going to happen again at eight oclock in the morning. Im never out in the world where I get photographed unless its things like that. I just look my best.
Trevante: Before set every day, she would show up in her workout [gear].
She gushed about Trevantes workouts and his constant reading
Sandra: Theres a little competition. He gets up at like four and works out for two hours at the gym. Carries around his little jug of water. Constantly hydrating. In between shots, Trey would be up on some rock or some tree just reading. Like reading poetry, philosophy. You just stop and you went thats real. That wasnt for show because he was tucked away somewhere. Hes constantly looking inward.
[From ET Online]
I get annoyed at how long it takes to get a blowout when I get my hair done once a month. Some people find it relaxing to get pampered like that, but its not like youre getting a massage or a body wrap, you have to sit upright. It must get tiresome to have to sit for two and a half hours of hair and makeup. (Yes most of us would rather do that than our regular job and I know it sounds ridiculous to complain about getting my hair done.) Let me anticipate the comments about Sandra not being honest about getting Botox and fillers is she supposed to bring that up in this joint interview with her costar and potentially derail the conversation? She knows shes supposed to keep it light and make jokes so thats what she did. (Remember how weird it was when hack Megyn Kelly asked Jane Fonda about her plastic surgery during an interview with Robert Redford?)
Sandras face isnt that distracting to me, I found her wonderful and believable in Oceans 8, and shes only doing whats expected in her industry. Also more of Trevante please.
