Actress Sandra Bullock has been named PEOPLE magazine’s most beautiful woman of 2015.
The 50-year-old star joins the likes of last year’s winner Lupita Nyong’o, as well as four-time list topper Julia Roberts.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the actress was quick to downplay the title, saying she doesn’t take herself too seriously. ”¨
Despite looking absolutely stunning on the magazine’s cover (see below), she apparently couldn’t help but laugh when she heard about the honour:
“No, really. I just said, ‘That’s ridiculous,'” she said.
“I’ve told noone.” ”¨
According to the actress, “real beauty is quiet,” – and abundant in her relationship with her son, Louis.
“The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying,” she said.
“…be a good person, be a good mum, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry.””¨
Wise words, Sandra!
Apparently, the actress’ 5-year-old still doesn’t realise what his mother does for a living – and she’s happy to keep it that way.
“He thought I was an astronaut for a while,” she joked, probably referring to her Academy Award-nominated role in Gravity.
Louis is under no illusions when it comes to his mother’s beauty though.
“I was putting him to bed and told him that even when I’m old and grey and more wrinkly than I am now, I’ll still love him and want to tuck him in,” she says.
“And he asked why I have wrinkles, and I said, ‘Well, I hope some of them are from laughing so much.’ And he touched my face and said, ‘You’re not old, you’re just happy.'”
We couldn’t agree more with the little man!
So what are Sandra’s beauty secrets, aside from motherhood? Well, she’s an advocate of a healthy diet (especially green juice) and works out four to five times a week.
She wasn’t always a fitness ninja though…
“When I started, I could barely do 20 seconds, and I’m not kidding. I’m crying on the floor, and she’s like, ‘Are you a smoker?’ I was like, ‘I hate you.'” ”¨
Yep, even gorgeous actresses struggle with exercise from time to time.
Congratulations Sandra, you’re our favourite (and possibly the most genuine) winner yet!
