Sandra Bullock has come a long way as an actress in Hollywood. After starting her acting career with small roles in independent films, she is now known for her incredible performances in the movies like Gravity, Speed, The Blind Slide, and many more. One of her successful films also includes the 2000 action-comedy Miss Congeniality, in which she portrayed an FBI special agent. The time she spent in the industry and her experience has also given the actress the confidence to speak her mind.
However, nothing worked for the actress when she felt uncomfortable with a scene in the 2000 film. And despite her demand to get it removed, the scenes still made it to the final cut.
Sandra Bullock Wanted a Scene Removed from Miss Congeniality
Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock is known for speaking her mind about her films or any character she plays. She’s also been very open about the movies she regrets doing, especially her bad luck with sequels.
While promoting her 2000 film, Miss Congeniality, she was asked whether she had shot a bikini scene in the movie. The film actually featured The Lost City star in a swimsuit. However, she didn’t look too pleased with the scene. Bullock answered the question by saying, “Reluctantly, yes.”
She also shared that she tried to get the scene removed from the script, but her efforts did not work. Bullock shared, “That was a huge bone of contention for me. I was trying to get it written out so many times.”
After the scene was filmed in San Antonio, she tried that it did not make it to the final cut. But the actress shared that despite her concern and demand to remove the scene, it was included in the film’s final cut.
What Sandra Bullock Learned From Working on Miss Congeniality?
While promoting Miss Congeniality, she again said something that no one expected. She said that she does not consider herself the beauty she portrayed in the film as she has done roles that were not “the beauty queen.”
She further talked about how the representation in the film shows a side of men and women. “You know, it shows the men what women really go through, and it shows women what they really don’t have to go through,” she said. The Blind Side star also shared what she learned from working on the film. Talking about her experience, she said that she learned the trick to make people look so perfect.
During a later interview with Metro, she talked about the film’s sequel, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, Bullock said that the film should not have been made. The sequel made $101 million against its $45 million budget and received a 15% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
