Sandra Bullock had some great nuggets of wisdom for Hoda Kotb as she recently clocked a new age. Bullock shared the nuggets via a video message on an August 12 broadcast of Today with Hoda and Jenna.
The message began with Bullock confessing that there were many things she had to say to Kotb to celebrate turning 60, but she wouldn’t because she was “tired.”
The talented actress also turned 60 on Friday, July 26, and compared to Kotb, who just celebrated her birthday, she has had some weeks of experience as a 60-year-old. It was enough time to figure out some things Bullock decided to pass on to Kotb in her video message.

Aging is a great thing, but these days, with all the cosmetic crazes going around, some can feel daunted by the concept of it. Bullock knows this, and she doesn’t want Kotb to be trapped by it.

In her memorable video message to Kotb, Bullock revealed she would not say all she previously intended to because she was spent after climbing up a mountain (she means clocking 60) so she could observe the terrain ahead of Kotb’s arrival.
She added, “And it’s weird because people seem to want us to be afraid of what it might look like when we get there. Turns out it’s pretty damn great. It’s pretty awesome.”
Bullock also thanked Kotb for her incredible personality, pointing out the things she has to do to make her career work and how she does it with kindness. The actress continued. “How you are to those you care about and how you keep them safe, and just who you are as a human being. We’re all pretty lucky to have you, especially your kids.”
The personal message ended with Bullock wishing Kotb a happy birthday and expressing gratitude that Kotb allowed her into her circle. “I feel very grateful,” she added. “And I have your bar set up, up here, so we can look at the view. It’s pretty beautiful, but I need you up here. Happy birthday.”
Hoda Kotb’s Response to Sandra Bullock’s Tribute
Kotb got very emotional after watching the video message Sandra Bullock prepared for her and revealed how the actress has been a role model for her in many ways.
According to Kotb, Bullock’s motherhood journey inspired her to want to become a mother, too. Kotb recalled how she called Bullock when she was in the market for inspiration from a mom her age and was getting cold feet.
Bullock was only too happy to tell her how great motherhood was, calling it the best decision she ever made. From that point on, Kotb says she was sold and ultimately went ahead to have daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, through adoption.

Like Hoda Kotb, Sandra Bullock is a proud mom of two children. Her first child, Louis Bardo Bullock, was born on December 20, 2010, and adopted by Sandra Bullock in 2010.
Her second child is a daughter she named Laila Bullock. Laila was born in 2012 and adopted by Sandra Bullock and her then-husband Bryan Randall in 2015.
