Sandra Bullock: Motherhood means I can’t be selfish

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Bullock can longer be selfish now that she’s a mom. The actress, 49, raises son Louis, 3.

“I can’t selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me,” she said.

The actress said that before she took on her role as a medical engineer in space in the upcoming film Gravity, she told producers she was in — if they made it “an amazing experience” for her little boy.

“I said … make it so I’m not somewhere not paying attention because I’m so worried about ‘Where is he? Is he having fun? Is this a good life experience?’ ” she said.

“[Producer] David [Heyman] turned a backlot of a sound stage in rainy London into a wonderland for a 1½-year-old.

“Everything was bumper guarded! People go, ‘What is that?’ And I go, ‘That is to protect a child’s head! All of it!’

“I kept having to say, ‘What would I do [if I lost a child]?’ and I realized I might be far worse off than she is.

“You just have to go there and know at the end of the day, you can unplug and go home and do something a lot of … people who were parents can’t.”
