Sandra Bullock has officially joined Instagram, but she’s doing it her own way. The Oscar-winning actress, who recently turned 61, revealed that she’s not interested in posting the typical celebrity fare, like selfies or makeup routines. Instead, her foray into the social media scene is all about supporting her upcoming movie, Practical Magic 2, where she’s set to reprise her beloved role as Sally Owens alongside Nicole Kidman.
During a recent event for CNBC in New York City, Bullock shared her thoughts on social media, admitting that she’s not the spontaneous type. She’s going in with a game plan! After being encouraged by Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group cochair Pamela Abdy, who suggested using Instagram to promote the much-anticipated sequel, Bullock is focusing on figuring out how to engage meaningfully with her audience while certainly enjoying the journey, without the pressure of looking flawless.
Bullock’s new account is already a hit, with 5 million followers after just a couple of posts. Yet, the charismatic star is taking her time to really consider how and what to share, drawing from her own experiences and insights. As for the future, she jested that a makeup line could be on the horizon if her social media efforts pay off, but for now, it’s all about the magic of her film and having fun with it. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
