Exclusive: Sandra Bullock reveals why her son doesn’t like George Clooney

George isn't in his good books

Published 26th Jun 2015

Sandra Bullock has joked that her five-year-old son doesn’t like George Clooney after watching a clip of space epic Gravity.

Speaking to In:Demand Showbiz to promote the release of Minions, Sandra explained that her adopted son Louis took a dislike to George when he saw his mum get sucked into space in the film.

Talking about Louis blurring the lines between reality and movies, Sandra told use: “Up until a year ago he referred to ‘when you were an astronaut’.

“He blames George (Clooney) because he saw one little clip where I was flailing off asking for help. He was a little bit upset as to why George wasn’t helping me!

“I said ‘cos that’s the way George is honey! When there’s trouble he’s going to let you sail off into space.’ That’s where he is right now he just didn’t understand why George wasn’t helping me at that point.

“(He) didn’t question why I was an astronaut, just that there wasn’t any help at hand!”

Elsewhere in our Minions interview, Sandra talked about what it was like filming the movie and playing the evil supervillain Scarlet Overkill, how animations differ to other movies, her love for Despicable Me and taking Louis on movie sets with her.
