Sandra Bullock has opened up about loosing her father John W. Bullock at the age of 93 and her two pet dogs over the last month at the Elle Women in Hollywood Celebration.
The 54-year-old actress briefly touched on the difficult past month she’s endured while honoring her friend and Ocean’s 8 co-star Sarah Paulson at the event held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday (October 15).
“I was going to write a nice speech about all the things I like about Sarah Paulson. Sarah Catharine Paulson, she likes when you use her middle name, or Powell-son, as my 5-year-old calls her,” Sandra began (via People). “But it’s been a crappy few weeks. My dad died, both of my dogs died. You turn on the television or computer and it’s endless tragedies and it seems like more than ever now if you have a vagina, you have to be a fighter as well. So I don’t feel nice. So I decided tonight I’m going to talk about all the things I don’t like about Sarah.”
“I don’t like the fact that she can wear things that look like a child threw a box of highlighters. Or that she dissembled her grandmother’s couch and reassembled it with safety pins. And still takes your breath away the minute she walks on the red carpet,” Sandra continued. “I don’t like that bravery and I don’t like that it’s inspiring. I don’t like that she loves so deeply and so openly. And I don’t like that she is loved so deeply and so openly by extraordinary people because it only shines the light on how I just need to be better. I don’t like her work ethic. It reminds me that I need to work harder.”
Also in attendance at the event was Ryan Murphy, Juliette Lewis and Natasha Lyonne.
FYI: Sandra is wearing a Prabal Gurung dress. Sarah is wearing a Calvin Klein dress, Fernando Jorge jewelry and carrying a Tyler Ellis clutch. Juliette is wearing Malone Souliers shoes. Natasha is wearing an Honor gown.
