Sandra Bullock is taking a break from acting.
The actress confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that she'll be stepping away from the big screen to focus on her 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 my family. That's where I'm gonna be for a while."
The actress also touched on the subject during a Q&A panel for her upcoming movie, "The Lost City," where she stated,
"I love stories that show the imperfection of love within families and communities. I would love to [continue doing that] when I'm done being a mom. I'll get back to it. I don't know when. Probably when they're teenagers, solidly 16- or 17-year-olds."
Bullock's children are twelve and ten, so audiences won't have to wait too long. In another interview on "Red Table Talk," the rom-com queen talked about motherhood and what it means to her. She said,
"I knew I would be a mother, but I knew I wouldn't be a mother at a young age. That was all that I had. That was my joy. I was on a wheel, but it's hard when society is breathing down your neck going, ‘You have to do [motherhood] this way.'"
Bullock also hails her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, as the "right human being" for her and her family. They began dating around the same time her younger daughter's adoption was finalized. She continued,
"He's the example I would want my children to have. I don't always agree with him and he doesn't always agree with me, but he is an example even when I don't agree with him."
Before she puts Hollywood on hold, catch "The Lost City" in theaters March 23, also starring Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Brad Pitt, Patti Harrison, and Oscar Nunez.
