Sandra Bullock has no problem crediting her recent career success to the renowned streaming conglomerate, Netflix.
The 57-year-old acclaimed actress got real in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, about where she would be if not for the two booming Netflix productions she's starred in, Bird Box, and The Unforgivable, admitting that she would most likely be "out in the cow pasture."
Two home runs back-to-back have opened up a whole new chapter for the 57-year-old actress.
Sandra's subsequent film, The Unforgivable, also went down as one of the toplining films of 2021, however, and earned itself a position in the top 10 most-streamed Netflix films in history.
Sandra joked that without the help of the streaming service, she may be "out in the cow pasture" by now.
Squid Game, for example.
“That’s one of the bigger ones, but I’ve seen more work from other countries told by other nationalities, and we never would have had that 10 years ago, ever," she said. "It brings people together in a way."
"We’re getting more and more divided, and yet, we have the streamers that are able to blend our stories together and go, look, same story, just different," she went on.
Instead, she opts to focus more on giving credit where credit is due and that means praising Netflix for giving jobs to so many people, regardless of age or cultural background.
"If it wasn’t for Netflix, a lot of people wouldn’t be working. Their stories wouldn’t be told," she continued.
"Who would think that me, as a woman, would still be working at this point?" she asked.
"I would have been out in the cow pasture. It’s true," she quipped.
And for us, because Bird Box and The Unforgivable were absolutely iconic.
