Sandra Bullock Says She Was “Perfectly Content” Not to Work After Divorce

Following Sandra Bullock’s split from her cheating husband Jesse James, the actress wasn’t sure she wanted to return to the big screen.

While promoting Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, her first film since her 2009 Oscar win for The Blind Side, Bullock told the Associated Press, “I was perfectly content to be permanently broken.”

“I honestly didn’t think I was in a place where I wanted to work or wanted to step out of where I was,” said Bullock, adding, “I wasn’t prepared.”

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close director Stephen Daldry, however, went to Bullock’s home and convinced her to be part of the powerful film.

Ultimately, it paid off for both of them.

Bullock noted, “We had a great time. It’s no longer ‘selfish actress’ in the moment. I wanted to have an amazing time with him and, fortunately, Mr. Daldry presented it. In every possible way, it was the best!”

What do you think about Bullock having considered quitting acting?

    Makes me sad that she would quit acting, it makes me mad that a jerk like JJ got her to a place like that. I wish her all the love and success and happiness. she makes me smile

  • Hermione

    Wish her the best and hope she gets out on the other side strong, powerfull and happier than ever.
    I can´t even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to live through that, all in public with all the nasty details. All of us who have been blindsided in one way or the other nows how it feels when the truths reveales and to do it in the public eye….I wouldn´t wish it for my enemy if I had one…..

    She is a survivor

    It’s completely understandable, it shows she’s human & has emotions. If anyone(man or woman) was in a relationship or marriage, then got their heart broken like that then they would reconsider things in their life. She just needed time to herself & be with her family/close friends. Unlike most people, I don’t hate her ex, he’s just another person that she wasn’t meant to be with.
    I wish Sandra & her son nothing but luck.

    Fa bene a continuare a lavorare, anche perchè è brava e sarebbe u peccato se smettesse.

    It is nice to afford not to have to work when something bad happens. But she is a crappy actor and her shelf life of romantic comedies is almost complete. She sucks in dramatic roles. I am still perplexed on how they could have given her an Oscar for blind side. It was a mediocre job at best. If you would have put any of the other nominees that year in her role they would have done just as good or better. But she could not handle more complex roles.

  • Ashley

    Hey Tom, The Oscars are voted on by peers. What makes you think you are more qualified than Sandra Bullocks peers as to if she is deserving or not? I think you “suck “at being a movie critic… your opinion is just plain ” crappy. ” As far as romantic shelf life.. bet you never had one ! But thats just my opinion! If you have one.. I bet it’s mediocre at best. Ask any monkey what they thought of Sandra Bullocks acting.. their opinon would be good or better than yours.

  • Phil

    Sandra is the epitomy of a great hollywood actress . I wish her all the love that life with children can bring and forget that bum. you are so much better off than you know. but i know your truly hurting. so ill just say we all love you.

  • phil

    Hope santa claus brought lot’s of toy’s to your son bet he had lot’s of fun with grand pa & grand ma
    love and merry christmas & happy new year

    to be elivated so high and have all of the right things happening and plunge to the bottom with heart stabbing betrayal when she had just told the world he always had her covered is unimaginable to try and understand how he could humilate her so cruely. She showed real class and goodness and I just wanted to sob for her. I never can understand how people can do those demeaning things to people they profess to love. I think she’s great.

  • Jpolka2

    Not only is Sandra an icon of acting, but her class in the face of heartbreak is amazing. It is never easy to be betrayed, but she is a real person, with those same emotions and feelings that are buried in all of us. It would be next to impossible to be in the “eye” of the public constantly and still maintain the dignity and class I always see from her.

    As for her movies and appearances? Nothing more can be said. She is truely a class act. Sandra my heart breaks for you…..keep your friends and family close….remember those who truely love you and the thousands of us out her who also appreciate and love you!

    As for “tom” what makes you think you can condemn someone who is in the place of being able to choose whether or not they should work. Obviously you are not in that position. I am sure Sandra has worked feverishly and tirelessly often without breaks to be able to make her choices.

    She also is one of a few celebrities who contributes a great deal of her hard earned money
    to heartbreaking organizations and chairites with not regrets! Or, are you going to demean her for that as well?

  • Mugmoma

    I luv Sandra Bullock & her movies always brighten my day. I just felt so sorry for her & am glad she has gone back to work & can get on with her life. Never knew why she was with him anyway. She will find happiness again, i am sure

  • Roy Mabe,Jr.

    It makes me mad that someone like Jessie James can have that much effect on Sandra. I know she will find someone else to be happy with.

  • That_girl_chick

    You’re so right. Why is it the nicest, most genuine people seem to attract the biggest jerks and suffer the biggest heartbreak?

  • That_girl_chick

    You said it perfectly. Exactly.
