Sarah Jessica Parker played the fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO franchise “Sex and the City.” However, the “Footloose” star has always come under fire for her lack of fashion sense in real life.

During her time as Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker managed to serve some of television’s most iconic looks, becoming a symbol of glam and glitz for women worldwide.

Women considered her a trendsetter, using style as an extension of herself to depict her moods and her obsession with high fashion.

NOT SO FASHIONABLE IN REAL LIFE

Although her character’s trendsetting style on the show coerced many women to consider fashion an everyday lifestyle, Parker has never been so keen on fashion in real life.

Speaking to People in 2012, the actress shared that Carrie Bradshaw’s fashion identity was not something she connected to in real life. She shared:

“It’s not how I think of myself, and I think it’s probably the healthier approach.”

Do not be mistaken. The actress appreciates a good outfit and loves beautiful things, but unlike her character, you will not find her in a tutu in the grocery store. She believes fashion is now less of a priority for her because:

“It’s just not a reality — not when you have three kids, and you go to the market, and there are hungry people at home. You have a limited time to do it. There’s just no time to let vanity enter into that.”

Her fashion choices have not gone unnoticed over time, and as she would tell Vogue during the “Life In Looks” segment, people have often criticized her looks, which she considers funny.

Over the years, the actress has taken a lot of heat for her fashion choices, including her most talked-about outfit at the Met Gala. She mused that one borrows something they like because it speaks to you at a moment and time, but then there will always be people that don’t like it.

And while it is their right, she does not understand the criticism. She reasons that one wears a particular outfit because they like it. “So, what’s the point of the criticism?” She clapped back at her haters.

Over the years, she has learned to dismiss the critics, and for her everyday outfits, she prefers something that she likes and chooses to shy away from worrying too much about whether it matches.

“UNSEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE”

Besides her highly criticized looks, Parker had a challenging time dealing with the news that the Maxim poll had voted her “Unsexiest Woman Alive” for not conforming to current beauty ideals and standards, including Botox injections and big lips.

She felt that while she did not meet the standards of some men writing in a man’s magazine, the poll had been brutal and had hurt her deeply. And it also affected her husband, actor Matthew Broderick.

As if that was not enough, things turned nasty when the paparazzi released photos of Parker having lunch with “Bravo” bigwig Andy Cohen. Parker had a make-up-free face with her greying hair in full display, which attracted mean comments.

The backlash included followers shaming her for her grey hair and calling her old. Andy Cohen, who also has a head of grey hair, came to Parker’s defense, wondering why he never received criticism for the same and named the comments “misogynistic.”

Parker did not take the criticism lying down. Following the mean remarks, she jumped to defend herself from the haters during her sitdown with Vogue Magazine.

“It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly OK with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better.” She said, adding:

“I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”

That was, however, not the last she’d hear of the degrading comments. In 2018, the actress again faced fire after going to the Met Gala donning an ornate nativity headpiece. People took to social media to make fun of her skin, calling her a senior citizen.

CHOOSING FAMILY OVER FASHION

Although she has faced backlash over her fashion choices in the past years, the “Honeymoon in Vegas” actress has stood her ground, focusing on what matters most — her family.

During the 2006 New York annual fashion week, while everyone else was rushing to secure their best gowns and statements for the event, Parker chose to stay home and be with her family. Her son James, then three, had just started school, and she had to drop him there every day.

Today, attending events has become quite the task as Parker is a mother of three. They welcomed their first son James Wilkie Broderick on October 28, 2002, and he is currently a student at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Their secondborns are twins Tabitha Hodge Broderick and Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick, who they had on June 23, 2009, via surrogate.

While Parker’s fans have loved and criticized her equally, her husband, Broderick, remains a constant in her life. The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” actor and his wife have been smitten with each other since they first met in the early 1990s.

They tied the knot in a surprise wedding ceremony on May 19, 1997, and have been going strong since. Surprisingly, Parker disclosed that the secret to such a long and happy union is their ability to spend time apart. She said on the Sophia Amoruso’s Girlboss Radio podcast, as Oprah Daily reports:

“I know this sounds nuts, but we have lives that allow us to be away and come back together.”

Their relationship has been everything they dreamed it would be, and Broderick could not stop gushing over how much of an impression Parker made the first time he saw her.

He recalled their first date, saying he clearly remembers her walking down the street towards the movie theatre. “It’s very unique because I wouldn’t remember most people the first time I saw them come down the street. [But] I remember it as clear as day.”

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are one of Hollywood’s longest-married couples. In the over three decades that they have been married, they have raised two beautiful kids who followed their Hollywood footsteps.

Years after the “Footloose” actor and “The Closer” actress were married, they found out they were distant cousins after conducting a DNA test.

Even though they found the test results a little bit unsettling, the bond between Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick has grown stronger with time.

Kevin Bacon, born July 8, 1958, and Kyra Sedgwick, born August 19, 1965, first crossed paths when he was in a play in the 1970s. At the time, Sedgwick was 12 and had just seen the matinee with her brother.

In 1987, they met again when they worked on the PBS film “Lemon Sky.” At that point, Sedgwick strongly believed Bacon wasn’t her type.

She saw him as aloof and cocky when he jumped into the van they were getting picked up in after his labrador. Sedgwick also thought Bacon thought of himself as being cool.

She recalled in an interview that as she watched his backside while he was walking away, she was surprised some girls liked that. Little did Sedgwick know that would be one of her favorite parts of Bacon’s anatomy.

While Sedgwick thought Bacon was aloof, he thought she was aloof but beautiful. He was immediately in love with her while she was immediately put off by him.

The “Labor Pains” actress later realized Bacon was a sweet guy, and the couple married on September 4, 1988. At the time, she was 23, and Bacon was 30.

Sedgwick never believed she would get married so early. She had started working professionally at 16 and wanted to be a great actor, and settling down with a child at 23 was not part of her goals.

In their early years, Bacon described himself as a slob who lived in a pigsty when he first left home. He also described his first apartment as being a roach-filled disaster. However, when they first got together, Sedgwick was messier than Bacon.

Together, they have been able to keep the chaos out of their home as they celebrate their little wins and moments together, just like their first ‘selfie.’

Bacon took to Instagram to share the first picture they took together as they posed in beachwear. Sedgwick donned a high-cut black swimsuit while Bacon wore a pair of beach shorts with his arm draped around her.

The couple looked adorable and in love. In the caption, Bacon reminded the younger ones that cameras and phones were two different things in the old days!

A few months into their relationship, Bacon proposed to Sedgwick during the Christmas holidays. He put the ring he bought in the toe of the stocking, popped the question, and she said, “yes.”

Decades after they had gotten married, the couple revealed that their marriage hasn’t always been rainbows and sunshine as they once had what they call their biggest fight.

Sedgwick had wanted to move back to Manhattan while Bacon wanted to stay in Connecticut. The fight lasted a long time, but the couple has learned not to ‘hit below the belt.’

They both are not built that way and have realized over time that they both don’t want to fight. They have learned to talk about things and decide together what’s best for them.

And sometimes, what’s best for them might mean one person making sacrifices that benefit the family. They know when it’s their turn to step up.

As they started having kids, Sedgwick knew she had to be there for her kids and decided to step back from her career. She worked a lot less and stayed in New York because they wanted to raise the kids in New York, even though more work was in Los Angeles.

Years ago, the couple agreed to participate in PBS’s “Finding Your Roots,” a television show investigating family ancestry, and Bacon was shocked at the discoveries made.

Bacon’s family was traced back to Bristol, and he learned that King Edward I, the “Hammer of the Scots” who fought William Wallace, was his 22nd great-grandfather.

It was also revealed that Bacon is the 13th cousin twice removed with Brad Pitt. He and President Obama, who share a common ancestor named Anthony Woolhouse, are 12th cousins, three times removed.

That was not all, as Sedgwick was also introduced to her 9th cousin once removed. This cousin happened to be her husband. Sedgwick exclaimed that ‘she knew it,’ but Bacon wasn’t so thrilled.

Even though Bacon joked that he wasn’t getting enough respect based on the people he’s connected to, he didn’t see being cousins with his wife as a form of flattery. He said,

“I kind of felt like it was a joke at my expense, you know.”

Sedgwick admitted that the revelation was “a little unsettling,” but she was fine with it as long as they are not first cousins.

With their marriage being one of the longest in Hollywood, Sedgwick always has people asking her the key to her successful and long marriage.

Although she jokes that the secret to a successful marriage lies in not taking marriage advice from celebrities, she believes that she and Bacon got lucky.

However, she has one piece of advice, and her advice was that people need to have a piece of wholeness within themselves before they can let somebody love them the way they need to be loved.

On their wedding anniversary in 2021, Bacon took to his Instagram to share a picture of him dancing with his wife. In the caption, he cheered to dancing through life with Sedgwick as he reminded her that she’s the reason.

Bacon and Sedgwick are proud to have two independent children. Travis, their first son, was born on June 23, 1989, studied audio engineering, and made his acting debut in 2005 in “Loverboy.”

With his interest in music, he became a member of the metal band White Widows Pact until 2015 before joining the metal band Black Anvil in 2016 as a guitarist.

Travis works as a solo musician, produced songs for his parents’ movie “Story of a Girl” in 2017, and has composed music for other movies while owning a recording company in New York.

Their daughter, Sosie, who loves to sing, was born on March 15, 1992, studied acting and musical theater and made her acting debut in 2005’s “Loverboy” and has since appeared in tons of films and TV shows.

On being a mother, Sedgwick revealed that she’s not an overbearing mother like she was in her role in “Call Your Mother.” She tried not to meddle and wait for her children to ask her opinion.

Time, as you know, flies quickly and imperceptibly. And now Shiloh, the middle biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who seemed to be a baby just recently, suddenly became an adult.

Moreover, as it became known, she had already started her first relationship.

This was announced by an insider from among the girl’s friends, who shared information with Life & Style.

As Shiloh’s friend said, Jolie’s daughter admitted a couple of months ago that she would like to start dating.

And now she has found herself a boyfriend with whom she began a relationship.

However, Shiloh is doing everything so far not to be captured by paparazzi and keep the identity of her chosen one a secret from outsiders for as long as possible.

At the same time, Angelina is already aware of her daughter’s romance.

Shiloh introduced her friend to her. Because at one time, in exchange for her mother’s permission to meet with the boys, she promised to introduce Jolie to her boyfriends.

By the way, this behavior of Shiloh is now an act of good will on her part.

After all, the girl has every right to consider herself old enough and not ask her mother for permission to make friends.

In a little over two weeks, she will be 17 years old.

At the same time, as far as we know, she will soon become financially independent as well.

The girl, who has shown an outstanding choreographic talent, is moonlighting as a back dancer and tutor for schoolchildren.

In addition, she is thinking about a modeling career. And her figure is just right for this.

Willem Dafoe has been mesmerizing audiences with his incredible acting talent for decades now. The actor, however, is often looked over and not given the appreciation he deserves.

But it seems this latest honor has him beaming from ear to ear! Keep reading to know more!

Willem Dafoe had the honor of being the first person to have their star unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for 2024. “I can’t stop smiling! This is wonderful,” the actor beamed.

He could not hold in his joy as he took in the sight of his star after it was unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this Monday.

Dafoe’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star has been a long time coming. The actor has had an impressive career with over 150 films under his belt and is respected the world over for his acting skills. He has also received four Oscar nominations for his work!

His friends and fellow actors, Pedro Pascal and Patricia Arquette were also present at the ceremony to support him. Mark Ruffalo, his current co-star for ‘Poor Things’ was also there!

“It’s wonderful to be part of this community of artists and entertainers,” Dafoe said at the occasion. “People that by sharing their experience can imagine others’ perspectives, telling stories on what is, was, or most importantly could be. They make us feel closer together and connect us,” the actor shared.

“You cannot compare his career to anyone’s,” Pascal said about his friend. “So it is our fortune to have him, and I am personally grateful. Thank you Willem.”

This is such good news! The actor deserves all the recognition in the world. Share this with other fans of Willem Dafoe so they can rejoice in his victory as well.

Has there ever been a celebrity more lovable than Keanu Reeves? I think not!

Whether it’s appearing at the Oscars with his mom or secretly donating to children’s hospitals, the man is one of the most wholesome people in Hollywood.

And if you thought he couldn’t get any better, wait until you hear about a recent interaction between the star and a young fan – it’ll be sure to melt your heart!

It all started when Reeves, 59, and his band Dogstar – which was formed over 25 years ago and recently reunited – stopped in Houston, Texas, while on their North American tour to promote the release of their latest album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees.

Thousands of Dogstar fans have been excited to see the Matrix actor shred the bass, which is not something you’re bound to see every day!

While the band were in Houston, they obviously were able to meet many of their fans. But none of them would have had the same magical experience as nine-year-old Elijah, whose biggest dream was to meet Reeves… And meet him he did!

Elijah, his brother Caleb, and his grandmother Annette put a plan in place to meet Reeves, something that Annette was confident doing as she’d met well-known figures over 100 times.

Dogstar had been at the House of Blues, so Elijah and his family waited outside for several hours until Reeves emerged. Elijah had a football with him, asked Reeves if he would play ball, and sure enough the kind actor agreed.

Being so famous and having so many adoring fans would inflate anyone’s ego, but Reeves has never let his fame get the better of him. In fact, he treats acting like basically any other job – he puts in his best effort and recognizes that his success is ultimately down to having such loving fans.

Elijah’s grandmother Annette spoke about the special experience, saying it was something her grandson would “always remember”, with Elijah adding: “I’m keeping the football forever and ever”.

What’s more, Reeves apparently told the young fan that he had a nice throw – how’s that for a celebrity encounter!

Is there going to be a Mamma Mia 3? “I think one day there will be another film, because there’s meant to be a trilogy,” says Judy Craymer.

Get those suitcases packed ASAP because it looks like we might be heading back to the magical island of Kalokairi for one last ABBA singalong. Mamma Mia 3? Yes. Really. Here we go again, again.

Talk of another Mamma Mia movie has been on the cards ever since the second film was released. Audiences love it, the cast love filming it… It’s pretty much a win-win situation.

Thankfully, both co-creator and producer Judy Craymer, and director of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again Ol Parker have now confirmed that there are plans for Mamma Mia 3 to happen.

The latest update? It looks like Meryl Streep might actually return as our dearly departed Donna Sheridan in a bigger capacity.

Speaking to Screen Rant in December 2022, Parker appeared to imply that Craymer’s plans are underway and a third movie is being planned as we speak.

“Judy Craymer, the genius producer behind the musical and the first two films, always plans for it to be a trilogy,” Parker said. “That’s all I can say. The first one made an enormous amount of money, and I think we made a fair amount too. I know that there is a hunger for a third, and I know that she has a plan. Wouldn’t it be lovely?”

In another interview with Deadline, Craymer has teased that development on a third film is in the very early stages and it looks like it might happen… with Meryl Streep back as Donna?!

“I don’t want to over-egg it, but I know there’s a trilogy there,” she said. “There is a story there, and I do think Meryl should come back – and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna.”

Now, Meryl has now confirmed that she’d be more than willing to return for a third film. “I’m up for anything,” Meryl told Vogue. “I’ll have to schedule a knee scoping before we film, but if there’s an idea that excites me, I’m totally there.”

“I told Judy if she could figure out a way to reincarnate Donna, I’m into that. Or it could be like in one of those soap operas where Donna comes back and reveals it was really her twin sister that died.”

Since the release of Mamma Mia 2, ABBA have also reunited and released an entire album of new songs so there’s plenty of new material – as well as some other tracks from their legendary discography that have yet to appear in the movies – to choose from, too.

That’s good news for Amanda Seyfried who previously told Collider that she was worried there wouldn’t be enough new songs for Mamma Mia 3.

In even better news: Christine Baranski has already said that she’d be up for returning as Tanya – mostly because she just absolutely loves shooting those films with the rest of the cast.

“If we could go back and have the same amount of good fun and be on a Greek island together filming and dining together at night at some wonderful trattoria or taverna, I don’t think anybody would give you an argument,” she told EW.

She also teased what Tanya might be up to in the third instalment: “Tanya married. Although by now, she may be divorced. She may have gotten bored with this man.”

As we all know, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again saw flashbacks of Donna Sheridan’s life after it was revealed that she had died. Lily James stepped into those famous dungarees to play a young Donna, with Meryl Streep returning as Ghost Donna toward the end of the film.

So, with Donna still dead, what will happen next? Craymer didn’t offer any insight into the storyline of the potential third film, but given that literally anything can happen on that mysterious Greek island… the plot is anyone’s guess.

Will we see flashbacks from a young Ruby Sheridan’s life? Sophie dumping Sky and raising her son by herself? Two hours of Harry singing ABBA ballads and living his best life in the sun with his boyfriend? A one woman show where all the roles are played by Cher? Mamma Mia: Tokyo Drift?!

It sounds like Mamma Mia 3 is still quite a few years away from becoming a reality but as long as Christine Baranski and Julie Walters are back as Tanya and Rosie alongside Meryl as Donna, we’ll take anything.

Actress Sandra Bullock was under fire after fans started suspecting her of undergoing plastic surgery. However, that would not be the first time she was criticized for her looks, as she also previously received hate for her appearance during her school days. Even with so much disapproval thrown her way, her “very Christian” partner loved her the way she is and treated her like a princess.

Bullock was spotted at a pre-Oscars party in 2023 with Demi Moore and Brendan Fraser. It was the first time the actress has been out in a year, as she favors staying at home with her children and partner to attending Hollywood events.

At the event, Bullock wore a black embellished blouse over a black bra, which showed off her cleavage. She paired the look with some layered necklaces, toned-down makeup and long, messy hair pulled over one shoulder.

Now Bullock is grappling with grief as she lost her partner, Bryan Randall, 57, on August 5, 2023, to ALS. Randall silently battled the illness for three years before he finally succumbed and left Bullock and the couple’s children alone.

The actress posed for many photos during the evening and gave fans something to talk about with her almost ageless beauty at 58. Yet some still criticize her for the way she chooses to dress and her facial features, saying she must have had plastic surgery. She has been accused of this before.

Famed actress Sandra Bullock wowed fans with her chic sense of style during “The Lost City” premiere in London in March 2022. She stepped in wearing a dapper black trouser suit with a twist.

The fashion-forward ensemble by Carolina Herrera consisted of pink and purple paneling at the bust that then fell down the star’s slender waist and flowed behind her onto the green carpet.

“The Proposal” actress complemented the look with black pointed-toe heels and wore her hair in curly brunette locks flowing over her shoulders.

She posed alongside her costar, Daniel Radcliffe, and “Magic Mike” actor Channing Tatum, who also looked dapper in a simple black suit and a turtleneck, and posed for the photo with a lingering look at Bullock.

Fans Blast Bullock for Alleged Plastic Surgery

“The Blind Side” actress has always been a fan-favorite since she made her film debut in the 1987 “Hangmen.” However, she came under fire for allegedly having plastic surgery on her face to enhance her looks. Fans took to Twitter to blast the actress, noting that she was “barely recognizable” in her recent movies.

One Twitter user, @EvelDick, wrote that he had just watched one of her movies, and even though he could not remember the title, he could not get over how unrecognizable the actress looked due to the changes in her face:

“Plastic surgery around her eyes and cheeks. Made her barely unrecognizable, yikes!”

Replying to the original comment by EvelDick, another Twitter user, Tracie agreed with his sentiments, saying she had noticed the same thing. She observed there was something about Bullock’s eyes that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

After the movie, she says she went on Google to try and find out what happened to Bullock’s face. She was unsuccessful in her investigations and says she only found comments from people saying to leave the actress alone as she was still beautiful.

@jackstar724 posted a poster of Bullock’s movie “The Unforgivable,” saying he just watched it on Netflix and was distracted by the changes on her face the whole time. He wondered:

“Should we tell her? Do they know it was too much?”

@MJsCuppycake said she had just seen the “Miss Congeniality” actress on the Kelly Clarkson Show and had told her mom that she had also noticed how different Bullock looked.

One Todd O’Rear said while “The Lost City” movie was good, Bullock looked unrecognizable, while another fan, @thesdcompguy, was sad that Bullock had started down the “Madonna road of plastic surgery.”

He noted that if the actress continues down that path, she will be as unrecognizable as Madonna is due to the numerous plastic surgery procedures on her face. “Very sad,” he added.

@LorifromCLE wondered if anyone had watched the movie or seen how different the actress looked. Actor and film director Tim Sullivan also had his take on the matter, observing that if Bullock was 58, she must have had a check-in with a plastic surgeon.

@GarlicNow agreed that she must have had a touch-up done on her face because, despite being 58, she did not look her age and would easily pass for a forty-year-old, at most.

Bullock’s Personal Life with Partner Who Adores Her

Despite the backlash regarding the alleged plastic surgery she had done on her face, Bullock denied the accusations. The actress was confident in her appearance, perhaps because she had the love and support of the late Bryan Randall.

Bullock and Randall always maintained privacy in their relationship as they quietly raised their kids. However, occasionally, they were spotted in public getting cozy and displaying some major public displays of affection.

The pair met after Randall, a photographer, was hired to capture Bullock’s son Louis’ birthday party. They hit it off, started dating a few months later, and were together until Randall’s death. Often they were seen in public acting loving, such as when they were photographed strolling through Los Angeles arm in arm while smiling and laughing.

In November 2015, they were spotted having a casual coffee date at the Andante Cafe in Los Angeles, with Bullock looking relaxed in a cream sweater and wide-leg capris paired with black boots. An onlooker told People:

“They looked so relaxed and happy to be together.”

Later that same month, the two held hands as they strolled through New York. The pair seemed to enjoy each other’s company, and after they went out with friends in May 2018, an onlooker reported that they looked happier than ever.

And when the lovebirds visited Disneyland with the actress’s children Louis and Laila for a special family day, an eyewitness says they looked like a very happy family.

In 2018, Randall proved to be the true gentleman when he protected his beau from the probing paparazzi cameras as they left the Roku Sushi restaurant in Hollywood. He walked before her, shielding her from the cameras as they walked to the valet stand.

And when the paparazzi kept insisting on filming them — they were in the company of Randall’s parents — and asking questions, Randall hugged Bullock affectionately to comfort her as the four laughed at the bizarre situation.

Fans in the comment section praised Randall for blocking the cameras, referring to him as a true gentleman, while another shared how much they admired Randall’s patience. In June 2018, Randall was again spotted helping Bullock out of the car. In the photo captured in New York City, he held onto her hand gently as he leaned in towards her.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, they say. When a photo of Bullock and Randall kissing in West Hollywood hit the public, it spoke to the masses, confirming what everybody already knew — the pair were still in love, and their relationship was rock solid.

And when the actress and her beau went out on a group date at the ROCU sunset in West Hollywood, California, a source told people that Randall was a complete gentleman. He did everything right, from holding the door for her to keeping her close and engaged all night. And the actress appreciated her man’s efforts as she laughed and smiled the entire night.

Bullock relished the attention her beau gave her. And it is easy to see why. She disclosed that she always felt like an outsider during her days in school. She hated her childhood because she was always on the receiving side of criticism from her peers.

The “The Heat” actress says she hated her childhood as she did not feel accepted by those around her. She always felt noticeably different and awkward. “I wore the wrong clothes, and I was constantly being picked on,” she says. But when she came home upset and crying, her mother often wondered why anyone would do that to her.

However, despite facing criticism over her looks from an early age, then later during the 2018 Oscars, where fans say she seemed to have gotten face fillers, Bullock says she has never had any cheek fillers or plastic surgery done.

At the time, fans tweeted about the possibility of the actress having gotten fillers, rumors the actress later addressed, noting that she had been dealing with allergies and was not well during the event. However, despite being under the weather, she still decided to attend the Oscars. She says fans may have mistaken her puffy face for fillers and addressed how much the fans’ comments affected her.

She revealed that she was immensely affected by the comments, seeing as she did not always feel confident dressing up and stepping on the red carpet. She was not one of those celebrities that knew how to work the red carpet and did the same pose every time. She added: “I try not to dread that kind of stuff, but I do get incensed and think, ‘How can they write this?’”

The self-declared junk food junkie says that looking good and fit is tasking. And whenever people ask how she has always stayed so fit, she says it’s because she is paid to look good on film. However, the actress also confessed that being a junk food lover and simultaneously trying to keep fit is a vicious cycle.

Bullock said when she was younger, she would add weight and then complain about how fat she had gotten; then, to mitigate that; she would go on a diet and then complain about it.

Despite her busy schedule, the “Bird Box” actress says it requires much work to look as good as she does. However, despite her busy schedule, she always finds time to be with her loved ones.

A Hiatus from Acting — The Actress’ Life Today

After gracing the silver screens for years since she came into the limelight, the “Ocean’s 8” actress is taking a break from acting. Speaking to ET, Bullock said she was stepping back from acting and did not know how long she would be away. However, she needed to be in the place that made her the happiest, and that was home with her children and family. She said:

“I take my job very seriously when I’m at work, and I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and family.”

The “Speed” actress also likely spent time with her beau, who was the best dad for her kids and the perfect partner. Having been in the industry for decades, Bullock understands only too well the challenges women face because of their appearance and age and strives to raise her son as a respectful person.

She says she is shocked and embarrassed at the atrocities women face in the industry and will do whatever it takes to bring up a son who values and appreciates women.

Luckily, her son had a wonderful man he could look up to. Randall was an incredible partner to Bullock over the years and was an excellent example of how a man should treat women. Besides being a gentleman in all aspects of the term, Randall was also a fantastic co-parent.

He helped raise Bullock’s two adopted children as if they were his. While they did not always agree on everything about parenting, Bullock noted that Randall was the best example she would want her children to have.

And for that, Bullock is incredibly grateful for her partner. Speaking on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, she shared that in Randall, who she also referred to as a saint, she found the love of her life.

Fans could not help but notice how much joy she found in her relationship with Randall. A fan commented on a video where Bullock was interviewed about her co-parenting situation with Randall, saying:

“She looks so happy and in love.”

The “Two Weeks Notice” actress had previously spoken out about Randall’s excellent relationship with her children. She thought he was incredibly patient with them, adding that since they first started dating, he had evolved to a level that was not human.

Bullock also says she loved their family dynamic. She explained why she and Randall never got married despite their extraordinary relationship: “I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner, a devoted mother. I don’t need to be told to be ever-present. I don’t need to be told to weather the storm with a good man.”

An insider explained to Us Magazine that the two love birds were lucky to have found each other and did not require a piece of paper or any formality to have a happy life together. They explained that Bullock and her beau were also open to having more children, but being new parents was not at the top of the list.

Harrison Ford is a world-class actor, but he had to work hard to achieve that status. He was a carpenter for several years and found himself doing a job where the casting for his breakthrough role took place. Now Ford is a millionaire with several properties, although he lives modestly out of the limelight.

Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood’s icons with several legendary leading roles in some of the best movies in the industry. Ford is a Chicago-born actor from Illinois. His mother, Dorothy, was a homemaker, and his father, Christopher, was an advertising executive.

The actor did not have much to say about his childhood; he described it as “relatively uneventful, middle-class – but a happy time nonetheless.” He graduated high school in 1960 and went to college to study English and Philosophy at Ripon College in Wisconsin.

Ford’s time in college accidentally exposed him to acting. He decided to sign up for a drama class, thinking it would be an easy way to get good grades. He was nervous about performing in front of a crowd, but he loved the storytelling part of it.

Though Ford had found something he enjoyed in college, he was not the best student, so he left the university before graduating and decided to build his acting career independently. But the road was difficult, so he became a carpenter while scraping for acting roles.

“Through carpentry, I fed my family,” revealed Ford, whose job as a carpenter allowed him to sieve through the acting roles that came his way and patiently wait for his breakthrough role.

However, Ford admitted that the waiting started to become frustrating. Regardless, he never gave up on his ambition to become a successful actor and did not let the stress distract him from achieving his goal.

Ford was one of the founding actors of the “Star Wars” franchise. But there is a story behind how he landed his iconic role in the trilogy. Ford and the creator of “Star Wars,” George Lucas, had two different versions of how Ford was cast to play Han Solo.

Lucas, who previously directed “American Graffiti,” had cast Ford for a minor role. While creating a list of actors to include in “Star Wars,” he swore not to bring anyone from his previous film because he did not want it to be criticized as a remake of “American Graffiti” in outer space.

Lucas’ friend and renowned producer Fred Roos suggested Ford would be perfect for the role of Han Solo. At the time, Roos had hired Ford for his carpentry services to build a door at American Zoetrope, where Lucas was hosting his casting.

When Lucas saw Ford there, Ford insisted he was only there to do carpentry work, not for the casting, which Lucas found hard to believe. However, it turned out that Ford was there by coincidence.

Roos admitted Ford had done a few carpentry jobs for him, and he just happened to be there the day he was cast for Han Solo. He turned out to be perfect for the part, which proved his point.

Roos hired Ford for his carpentry because he knew the actor was doing it to provide for his wife and children while waiting for the role that would change his life.

Ford has two sons, Benjamin and Willard, with his first wife, Mary Marquardt, who worked as an illustrator. His eldest son was born in 1966, and at the time, the actor was in his 20s and ten years away from his breakthrough acting role. He welcomed Willard in 1969.

The actor might have kept his head high during the trials and tribulations of his upcoming acting career, but his career was said to be over before it even started, so Ford worked hard to prove these critics wrong.

Proving Critics Wrong

Ford debuted his first film in 1966 in “Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round.” He played a bellboy, and his most spoken line was “Paging Mr. Jones, paging Mr. Jones. Paging Mr. Jones.”

The actor revealed the head of the talent department blatantly told him his bellboy role would be his last and to forget about ever making movies.

But he proved everyone who did not believe in him wrong by being one of the most successful actors. His iconic parts in massive franchises like “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” earned him a fortune. However, those were not his only memorable roles; Ford also starred in “The Fugitive,” “Blade Runner,” and “Air Force One.”

Despite the massive success that Ford has built, he still approaches every job with the utmost humility. He said,

“As a friend once said, the collar around my neck is blue. I know what it is to work and work hard. Acting is a job, a responsibility, a complex task – all those things. I approach all work from a workman’s point of view. I expect to get my hands dirty, get into a sweat, and work overtime.”

The actor admitted that one of his toughest acting jobs that had him breaking a sweat was filming “The Mosquito Coast” in the hot Central American country of Belize.

Ford said it was not the heat that made it challenging, but he found the role mentally exhausting. Nevertheless, the actor was happy that the production team did not try to recreate the environment in Los Angeles and kept the location true to the storyline.

Ford’s mantra gained him stardom and respect in the industry. In 2023, he was named one of the highest-earning actors, with an estimated net worth of $300 million.

Ford made most of his money from the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises. His roles were so liked that he was used on some of their merchandise, which added to his wealth.

The actor shows no signs of slowing down; he is set to appear in the next “Indiana Jones” movie as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, which will be released in 2024. To add to his asset portfolio, Ford has several properties but still chooses to lead a simple life out of the city.

Living on a Farm as a Millionaire

Ford has bought a few properties and sold some too. His childhood home in Chicago was a modest three-bedroom house with 1.5 bathrooms. The home built in 1922 had gone through extensive renovation though its exterior was left in its original state. It was put on the market in 2022 for $749,000.

Ford has a ranch in Wyoming, which is 800 acres big. He lives there with his third wife, ​​Calista Flockhart, but the farm has been the actor’s home for over 35 years.

The “Star Wars” legend treats his Wyoming ranch as an escape and a personal sanctuary. He said he wakes up and walks through his endless land whenever he’s there.

In 2012, Ford sold his home in Brentwood, California, where he lived for 30 years. The house was on the market for a whopping $8,295,000.

Ford originally bought a 1,164-square-foot home in 1983 for $1 million. It had four bedrooms, a poolside, a detached bedroom guest suite, and two more additional guest suits, which Ford’s staff could have used.

After selling that house, Ford and Flockhart bought another house in Brentwood for $12.65 million. The property has been their main residence in Los Angeles ever since.

Ford’s properties also include a penthouse in New York which he bought in 2001 for $5.3 million. He put the house on the market for $16 million but removed it too. The penthouse is 5.500 square feet with four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

It is equipped with a one-of-a-kind kitchen, gym, office, and library. Not to forget the impressive 2,300-square-foot private roof terrace with views of Manhattan and the Hudson River.

In 2020, the actor opened up about his daily routine on his Wyoming ranch, revealing he attends to his chores around the farm, and if nothing urgent needs to be done, he flies his plane or walks in the woods.

He also rides his mountain bike or does some woodwork, but there’s never a dull day for Ford on the ranch; in fact, there’s rarely a day when he has nothing on his to-do list.

Ford always finds himself doing house maintenance, working in his workshop, or helping some guys fix more significant house problems, like the roof. Other than that, he loves spending quality time with his wife. He and Flockhart have been married for almost 13 years, but they were together seven or eight years before walking down the aisle.

Ford is also a father of five who balances his time between Los Angeles and Wyoming, so he has a lot on his hands. But there’s no stopping him, as he has several movies in the works.

In addition to his two sons with Marquart, Ford has two more children, Malcolm and Georgia, with his second wife, Melissa Mathison. He became a father of five when he married Flockhart, with whom he shared an adopted son, Liam.

Regarding parenting, Ford said the experience brought a lot of lessons, but he admitted that raising babies was not an easy job since he was only 25 when he had his first son.

But now Ford believes he has become a better parent. Most of his children are adults in their 20s and 30s, so Ford admitted that having a nine-year-old boy at his age was a significant transition.

Nonetheless, the experience has been equally joyful. He revealed that he met Flockhart when Liam was about six or seven months; therefore, they built a strong connection from the early stages of his life.

Ford and his wife have been married for over a decade, and when they celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, the actor said he found the secret to a long-lasting marriage.

He joked that the trick to marriage is to nod and agree with everything his wife says with a smile. He also revealed that he’s never been one for dry humor, so he does not know where the jokes come from. However, Ford enjoys his funny side.

What Ford enjoys the most is the quality of his private life. The actor is not a typical celebrity with fancy cars; he reportedly drives a Prius.

He loves to take his dog Kita to the local park. Luckily, he never has anyone bother him. His friendships are also under the radar with people not in the industry.

The reason Ford had kept out of the public eye was not only for his privacy but for his job. He explained that he was secure in his career, but one thing he valued was respect. The actor explained:

“I am not generally out looking to be admired. I want to be good at what I do, and I want to learn from other people how to get good, be good, stay good.”

Ford’s perseverance and strength to keep going no matter how discouraging life may get earned him a comfortable life. His experience as a carpenter helped him build his respectable reputation today.
