Sandra Bullock Shares Rare Details on Her Teenage Kids—and How Their “Brutal” Honesty Keeps Her Humble

Sandra Bullock knows her kids’ words have some gravity to them. 

While the Practical Magic 2 star reflected on how impressed she is by her teenagers Louis, 16, and Laila, 13, she admitted that her daughter’s honesty can sometimes be a little “brutal.”

“I was getting on a Zoom, and she walks by and she went, ‘You know, you can put a filter on that,’” Sandra said on the Sept. 3 episode of Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast. “I went, ‘What?’ She goes, You [can] make yourself look better.’”

So, with a hint of magic, Laila added a filter to the Oscar winner’s camera.

“It was literally like someone taking Vaseline and smeared it on the lens and put a sheet in front of my face,” Sandra quipped. “And I go, ‘OK.’ And it’s still on that same setting.”

Still, despite the mixed emotions, the 62-year-old noted, “The honesty I appreciate.”
