Lily Collins says she was fortunate to start her film career with Sandra Bullock as a role model on The Blind Side movie set.
The Emily in Paris star made her feature debut in the 2009 film directed by John Lee Hancock, in which Collins played Bullock’s daughter and recalled her time on the set. “I feel very very lucky that when I first started out, in my first film, I was mothered by Sandra Bullock,” Collins told Sky News. “She really took me under her wing during that experience and showed me the ropes.
Even when she didn’t know she was teaching me, she was teaching me because I would watch her on set.” She continued, “Just the way that she spoke to everyone, treated everyone, the questions she asked, and how she just valued her character in ways that I didn’t know, going into it, that you can value… Or things that you can ask or the right that you have to bring your own ideas.” While on the set of the movie and learning from Bullock, Collins thought, “It’s possible to be at this point in your career and done what you’ve done and still be the kindest, most kickass, badass female as well?
Oh, it’s possible!” Collins noted that she has stayed in touch with Bullock over the years saying, “It made such an impact on me as my first experience to have this amazing, strong, kind female lead the way.” The Blind Side was a biopic based on the Michael Lewis book of the same name about football offensive lineman Michael Oher, a Black homeless teen who the Tuohy family takes in.
