Sandra Bullock Declares She Won’t ‘Sacrifice’ Time With Her Kids Amid Acting Comeback

Sandra Bullock is about to be everywhere as she and Nicole Kidman return as the witchy Owens sisters in Practical Magic 2.

She even joined Instagram and quickly racked up 5.3 million followers. But speaking at CNBC’s Changemakers Summit April 18, the 61-year-old, who took a lengthy hiatus from acting, said her kids, Louis, 16, and Laila, 12, will always take priority over movies.

“I made this film at this time because I knew my kids were out of school. I’m not going to sacrifice my children’s time — my time — with my kids,” she said. Not that they always appreciate it. “They’d be happy if I was gone,” she quipped. “I would not… And I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something.”

She knows she’s lucky she has that choice, she added. “I have the luxury of doing that in this business. So many people don’t. And I understand that grief… when you are at work going, ‘I’m not where I need to be right now.’ ”
