Why Sandra Bullock wanted to be fired from a film
Los Angeles June 19 (IANS) Actress Sandra Bullock asked to be dismissed from a movie early in her career because of a "situation" she found herself in with a figure of authority.
"Very early on in my career I had a situation on a film which was hard. It came from a person of authority. I kept deflecting it with humour and it didn t work. Finally I said Please just fire me. It was a lesson " Bullock told Sunday Times magazine.
"After that I tended to remove anything that could be misconstrued as sexual. I locked it down " she added.
The 53-year-old star always tries to navigate tough situations with humour such as an uncomfortable interview with the "Today" show host Matt Lauer who spent four minutes of a 2009 interview with her questioning her about a single nude scene reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Asked if she regrets not seeming more outraged she said: "That s how I ve always navigated tricky situations. That s how I ve survived."
