The Oscar winner also revealed that she’s excited for Louis and Laila to attend their first movie premiere with her forThe Lost City, which hits theaters March 25.
“They’ll back door it. Though Laila really wants to be on the carpet. I was like ‘Not happening.’ But they get to see it and they all get to invite a friend,” Bullock said toET.
“It’ll be the first time out of this sort of dark cloud of the pandemic that they get to feel some kind of feeling of normalcy,” she added.
“I’m just the mom,” Bullock said of how her kids view her. “When I’m gone, I’m missed, when I’m there, I’m annoying, and that’s exactly the way it should be.”
Asked if her kids think she’s cool, theSpeedstar immediately answered, “No, not at all. Not unless I bring home some kind of treat. Last night I came home with donuts. I was so incredibly cool at that moment!”
“I love who they are,” she continued. “Every day I get to see who they are. I am one of the lucky individuals that gets to be around my children all the time and see who they get to grow up and be. And who they’re growing up to be, I couldn’t be more proud of.”
