Sandra Bullock talks about her eyes being opened as a white mother to two black children

Sandra Bullock candidly admitted she didn’t think winning an Oscar was on the cards for her in an unearthed interview.

But against her own belief, the Hollywood star won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy in the movie The Blind Side.

“People who do what I do don’t do award-winning films” Bullock said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in November of 2009.

“Which is kind of a relief because you don’t have to go to that next step when it comes to that awards season thing.”

Elaborating on the preparations for the awards ceremonies, Bullock explained: “I look at those people, especially the women, and I go, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’

“It’s about what dress you pick, what designer you’re wearing. I’d rather roll home, put on the jeans, go outside, pick up dog poop, or go for a run or something.”

But the movie she won the coveted accord for has now become shrouded in controversy and Bullock is allegedly “heartbroken” by the recent claims The Blind Side might have been based on a lie.

Retired NFL player Michael Oher, the real-life subject of the 2009 film which earned Bullock an Oscar, filed a lawsuit claiming his adoptive parents never legally adopted him.

The football star alleged that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (who Bullock played in the movie) conned him into signing a document that made them his conservators.

Oher says the document allowed them to profit off him – including from the much-loved film.

In the film, Leigh Anne takes a homeless 17-year-old Oher (Quinton Aaron) in before helping him become an American football player.

A source close to Bullock, 59, told the Daily Mail that she “hates” that all her hard work on the movie, which she thought to be a true story, has been “tainted”.

The insider added: “She hates that such a wonderful story, a spectacular movie, and a spectacular time in her life now has been tainted. Now people won’t watch it and if they do, they will have a completely different reaction to its original intention.”

The source explained that there was “so much hard work put into the film that they all thought was the truth.”
