Sandra Bullock is taking a step back from acting to be with her kids.
The Oscar winner said in a new interview that while she does not know how long her hiatus will last, she needs to be “in the place that makes me happiest” — at home.
“I take my job very seriously when I’m at work,” Bullock, 57, told “Entertainment Tonight” Monday, noting that she has a “24/7” career.
“I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family,” she added. “That’s where I’m gonna be for a while.”
Bullock, a single parent, adopted her two children: 12-year-old son Louis and 10-year-old daughter Laila.
The “Miss Congeniality” star explained that she will spend her hiatus “servicing their every need” and managing “their social calendar.”
She also touched on what parenting amid the COVID-19 pandemic has been like, saying she takes all precautions to make sure her kids are safe.
“All the parents know me as the crazy lady with the pandemic,” she told the outlet. “They know their children will return without COVID when they’ve come to our house.”
Bullock and her ex-husband, Jesse James, whom she wed in 2005, set out to adopt a child together in 2010. But that April, she filed for divorce after several women came forward saying they had affairs with James.
The actress and the West Coast Choppers founder, now 52, finalized their divorce that June, after which she continued the adoption process on her own. She brought home Louis in 2010 and Laila in 2015.
Bullock has since moved on with photographer boyfriend Bryan Randall, who has an adult daughter, Skylar, from a previous relationship.
As she takes a break from Hollywood, Bullock’s new film “The Lost City” will hit theaters next week. In the flick, she stars alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum, with whom Bullock was particularly impressed.
“Channing is so comfortable with [himself],” she said in the “ET” interview. “He knew it was for a comedy, he wasn’t trying to be serious. He worked really hard to make sure when his rear end turned into frame that it was perfect. I mean, I looked, I look for imperfections, and I did not see any.”
She playfully added of the “Magic Mike” star’s butt, “It’s very smooth. We didn’t have to do any, like, visual effects fixes. It’s just like a little baby’s bottom.”
“The Lost City” premieres March 15.
