Told To Turn It Down
In 1995, a People magazine report came out. It mentioned a remark Bullock made about the movie: “Everyone told me not to do Speed.

Adopting Her Son
On April 28, 2010, the actress announced that she proceeded with her plans to adopt. She and Jesse James started the process four months before that. Her son started to live with them in January, but they did not disclose this to the public until the Academy Awards in March. Even though they eventually separated and divorced, Sandra chose to keep her son and raise him on her own.
