Sandra Bullock is People’s most beautiful woman; ‘ridiculous,’ she says

Sandra Bullock, mother of Louis and winner of Oscar, is People magazine’s most beautiful woman for 2015.

“The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying,� the actress told the mag, swearing she’d laughed when she found out she was this year’s cover girl, declaring the decision “ridiculous.�

“I’ve told no one,� she said.

At 50, she’s the oldest celebrity to be featured on the magazine’s annual cover celebrating beauty -- a factoid that likely wouldn’t register with her 5-year-old son.

“[H]e asked why I have wrinkles, and I said, ‘Well, I hope some of them are from laughing so much.’ And he touched my face and said, ‘You’re not old, you’re just happy.’�

As Bullock talks about being a mom to the boy she adopted in January 2010, a kid she says doesn’t know what she does for work but thought she was an astronaut for a while, the global star sounds more and more like a person who’d be cool to hang out with.

“Real beauty is quiet,� she said. “Especially in this town, it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that.’

“No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry.�

Last year’s honoree was Lupita N’yongo; Gwyneth Paltrow was most beautiful for 2013; Beyonce took the prize in 2012 and Jennifer Lopez glowed from the mag’s cover in 2011. Before that, in 2010, Julia Roberts notched her fourth “most beautiful� People cover after appearances in 1991, 2000 and 2005.

The list, which has included three men since its 1990 debut, became ladies-only territory in 2006.
