Sandra Bullock tells Hoda Kotb not to fear turning 60: 'It's pretty damn great'
View Date:2024-12-24 00:42:39
Don't you worry about turning 60, Hoda Kotb. Your superstar friend Sandra Bullock has already checked out the terrain and reports back that passing that six-decade age barrier is actually "pretty awesome."
Bullock, who turned 60 on July 26, dropped a surprise video on Kotb's "Today with Hoda & Jenna" birthday celebration Monday after the famed fourth-hour cohost hit the milestone birthday on Aug. 9. Giddy co-host Jenna Bush Hager introduced the "special message" from Bullock, telling Kotb, "You're not the only one turning 60 this year."
In the serene video, Bullock said she was "too tired" to bring her normal hilarity.
"I'm tired because I had to make my way up that mountain before you got there so I could check out the terrain and see what things look like, and just get the feel so I can fill you in," said Bullock. "It's weird, because people seem to want us to be afraid of what it might look like when we get there. Turns out it's pretty damn great."

Mother of two Bullock (Louis and Laila) praised Kotb for being a great TV, friend and a great mother.
"How you are to those you care about and how you keep them safe, and just who you are as a human being. We're all pretty lucky to have you, especially your kids," said Bullock.
Kotb is the parent of two daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, and emotionally credited Bullock for inspiring her on an adoption journey.
“The reason that I have Haley and Hope is because when I was looking for inspiration of somebody who was a mom at my age, Sanda Bullock popped up," said Kotb. "I called her and said, 'Tell me about motherhood,' And (Bullock) said, ‘It is the best decision I ever made.' From that moment forward, she led the way to these two girls."
Bullock ended the "Today" birthday video with an invitation to celebrate at her home in person.
"Happy birthday, my sweet friend. Thank you for allowing me to be in your circle," said Bullock. "I feel very grateful. And I have your bar set up, up here, so we can look at the view. It’s pretty beautiful, but I need you up here."
