Sandra Bullock's two children, Louis, 16, and Laila, 12, have made surprise appearances in "Practical Magic 2," the actress announced at the Los Angeles premiere.
"They're in the movie, but not in an obvious way to you," Bullock told Access Hollywood. She added that her children do not yet know the specific locations of their cameos within the film. "I can't wait to show them where it is."
Bullock adopted Louis and Laila in her late 40s and raised them with her late partner, Bryan Randall, who died in August 2023 after a battle with ALS. When asked about being a proud mother, Bullock expressed she is "unbelievably proud" of her children.
"What's amazing is that something happens when you have kids where you stop being the influence on them, and they become the influence on you," Bullock said. She described her son Louis as her "steadfast moral barometer," often asking herself, "What would Louis do?" Regarding her daughter, she noted, "When it comes to spotting things and thinking forward, it's [Laila]." Bullock added that her children "give me two halves of a whole."
Bullock also debuted a new tattoo at the London premiere of the sequel, which pays tribute to her children. The ink on her left shoulder features the letters "L" and "B" and the number "2," a reference to Louis and Laila. ![Sandra Bullock's shoulder with an "LB" tattoo.]( "Sandra Bullock's shoulder with an "LB" tattoo.")
The actress made her Instagram debut to promote "Practical Magic 2," in which she reprises her role as Sally Owens alongside Nicole Kidman. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 10.
Bullock has maintained a degree of privacy regarding her children's lives but has occasionally shared glimpses of Louis and Laila on social media. In a recent post about the family's summer, she included photographs of them walking down a road with their backs to the camera.
