After being out of the public eye for two years, Sandra Bullock is ready to come back

After being out of the public eye for two years, Sandra Bullock is ready to come back

Promoted Content

A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is “excited about the future” and “ready to play again.”

The last time Sandra was seen was on July 12 in Beverly Hills, smiling at the photographers.

She turned 60 on July 26. Sandra stopped acting after saying in March 2022 that she would be taking a break.

She was in over 50 movies, including “Miss Congeniality” and “The Blind Side.”

Sandra is now set to star with Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, the follow up to the cult classic Practical Magic.

Someone who knows Sandra said that she is “really excited” about the project and can’t wait to spend time with Nicole.

Sandra is “open to the possibility” of dating again in the future, but she is still focused on her kids and getting better after Bryan’s death.

She is slowly getting back to the life and career she loves, even though it has been hard at times

Sandra Bullock recently marked the first anniversary of the death of Bryan Randall, who lost his ALS battle on Aug. 5, 2023. The first year after losing a loved one can be tough to navigate, but the 60-year-old actress seems to be signaling that she’s ready to return to Hollywood. Still, her comeback won’t be for any old project.

Bullock loves her work as an actress, but she wants to maintain a work-life balance because she knows how precious time is. “Sandra will come back to Hollywood this year and determine, finally, what her next project will be, but it’s going to be on her terms, and it isn’t going to come cheap,” an In Touch Weekly source claimed. They believe she will want “an extraordinary level of control to come back on a studio project.”

The Lost City star has vocalized her wish to ease back on work before. At SXSW in 2022 she shared why she was taking a break from work after the promotion of the action film with Channing Tatum. “I don’t want to be beholden to anyone’s schedule other than my own,” Bullock told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m so burnt out. I’m so tired, and I’m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it.” Bullock wanted to embrace the idea that it’s “OK not having work to validate you.”

Bullock will likely be “incredibly picky about what her follow-up project is going to be,” but the itch to return to acting is hitting her again after a year of self-care and the loss of Randall. “After the wild and very profitable experience of producing and starring in The Lost City two years ago, Sandra finally has the taste back for picking and running her own films instead of leaving that to other filmmakers and directors, which she did a lot during the 2010s to mixed results,” the In Touch Weekly source noted.

She and Keanu Reeves have been hinting that they want to work together again after their success with Speed and The Lake House. “It does feel like there is a siren call to it like there’s something that wasn’t done. I would love to work with you again before our eyes close,” Reeves told Bullock during the 30th anniversary of Speed on the 50 MPH podcast. Bullock does not have an upcoming project listed on IMDb just yet, but it sounds like she’s making her way back to the big screen.

    Young man who was ghosted because of his cancer passes away days later

    More about his recent posting and causes   CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — The city of Chicago is mourning the untimely passing of Fabo Lamar, a cherished member of the local community who died recently after a battle with cancer. Known for his vibrant personality, resilience, and unwavering positivity, Fabo’s death has left a deep void in the hearts of friends, family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Just days before his passing, Fabo tried to reassure those around him, posting a message that has since taken on a haunting significance: “Just a lil fluid in my lungs guys I promise I’m ok.” It was a typical Fabo gesture—humble, brave, and focused on calming the concerns of others, even as he faced the hardest fight of his life. Despite his optimistic words, Fabo’s condition worsened rapidly. He succumbed to complications related to cancer, a diagnosis he had reportedly kept private from many outside his closest circle. News of his death has rippled across social media and the broader Chicago community, prompting an outpouring of grief, love, and tributes from those who were touched by his life and legacy. A Life Remembered Fabo Lamar was not just a name in the community—he was a presence. Whether through music, community engagement, or simply showing up for friends and neighbors, he made it his mission to lift others up. Those who knew him describe a man with an infectious laugh, an open heart, and a spirit that could light up a room. Born and raised in Chicago, Fabo was deeply rooted in the city’s culture. He embraced its challenges, celebrated its victories, and never stopped believing in its people. He often spoke about overcoming adversity and encouraged younger generations to stay hopeful and grounded, no matter how tough things got. He was also active on social media, using his platform to spread messages of encouragement, humor, and authenticity. His posts often reflected a man who had endured much but continued to smile through it all. His recent message about his health, while brief and seemingly lighthearted, now reveals the depth of his strength and his desire not to burden those he loved. Quiet Battle with Cancer Fabo’s cancer diagnosis was not widely known. Those closest to him have shared that he chose to keep his battle private, not wanting pity or sorrow but instead hoping to live fully for as long as he could. It’s a decision that mirrors his life—quiet strength wrapped in grace and humility. According to close friends, he had been dealing with respiratory complications in recent weeks, which he downplayed to avoid causing alarm. Sadly, those complications proved to be more serious than he let on. His death came as a shock to many who were unaware of the severity of his condition. Outpouring of Tributes Since news of his passing broke, tributes have flooded in from all corners of Chicago and beyond. Social media has become a digital memorial, filled with stories, photos, and heartfelt messages celebrating the impact Fabo had on so many lives. Friends have recalled late-night conversations, spontaneous acts of kindness, and moments when Fabo lifted them out of darkness with nothing more than his words and presence. “He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back, even if he needed it more than you,” one longtime friend shared. “He never wanted to be the center of attention, but somehow, he always was—because he radiated something real.” Local artists and community leaders have also spoken up, many of whom credit Fabo for mentoring them or giving them the encouragement to pursue their dreams. Candlelight vigils and gatherings are being planned in neighborhoods across Chicago to honor his memory and legacy. Remembering Fabo Lamar Fabo Lamar’s passing is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the strength it takes to live authentically in the face of pain. He leaves behind a legacy not defined by fame or fortune, but by the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the spirit he brought to every room he entered. As the community grieves this loss, there is also a collective sense of gratitude—for the time they had with Fabo, for the memories he created, and for the inspiration he continues to provide. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced soon, and a GoFundMe or memorial fund may be established to support his family with final expenses and to honor his legacy through community initiatives. Rest in power, Fabo Lamar. Your voice, your spirit, and your light will never be forgotten.
