“I have a hard time being just friends”: Sandra Bullock Reveals Why She Never Stays in Contact With Her Ex-Partners Despite Being Good Friends With Matthew McConaughey
Similar to her on-screen characters, Sandra Bullock also has an interesting love life, as the actress has been linked with several big names over the years. While it is never easy to start off as friends after being romantically involved with someone, it could be even more difficult when there is a huge possibility of crossing paths with that respective person. While Bullock also feels the same way, she does have an exception in the form of the Interstellar star and her ex, Matthew McConaughey.
They were linked for two years from 1996 to 1998 after starring in the 1996 drama thriller, A Time to Kill. However, despite their split, A Time to Kill co-stars, still have the same love and respect for each other as they continue to be friends.
Sandra Bullock’s Thoughts on Being ‘Just Friends’
During an interview with Cosmopolitan, Sandra Bullock was asked if a man and a woman with “great chemistry” can be “just friends.” Sharing her thoughts on the topic, the actress shared that she has a “hard time being just friends.” The Lost City star shared that if both of them are single and are not hurting anyone, they should be able to get along.
She also pointed out that the same should not be followed if a person is committed to someone. The Proposal star further shared that the movie sets can be “breeding grounds” for this kind of thing if the person has a “good set of rules going into it.” She also described the use of “just” before referring to someone as her friend.
Talking about her Murder By Numbers co-star, Ryan Gosling, Bullock said that calling him “just friends” would be a lie. While the actress claimed that it’s not easy for her to be just friends, she has developed a very close and deep friendship with her ex, Matthew McConaughey. And she also revealed the secret behind having a healthy relationship with her ex.
