Sandra Bullock and George Clooney aren't just two peas in a pod, they're also living proof that there's nothing like having a best friend. The two have been inseparable for more than two decades and, surprisingly enough, met before they became Hollywood stars or, as Bullock described it, "literally before either of us had a job." Bullock told Glamor that she met Clooney at a mutual friend's party where Clooney was drunk doing Buddy Hackett impressions. "We've all known each other for billions of years and have supported each other from afar," Bullock told the mag (via Hello!).
In addition to maintaining a close friendship, Bullock and Clooney also had the opportunity to work together professionally. The actors first starred in the 2013 film "Gravity," about two astronauts stranded in space. "We've known each other for a long time," Bullock told Daybreak (via Hello!). "Just his joy for life and who he is in the workplace is so contagious, and he loves what he does so much." In addition to Bullock and Clooney's standout performances in "Gravity," the film also won seven of the 10 Oscars it was nominated for, according to The Verge.
The couple has not only been there for each other in the good times, but also in the bad.
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock share a deep connection
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney have been together for more than 25 years. Fortunately for the "Miss Congeniality" actor, her old friend was there for her during one of the most difficult times of her life. In 2010, Bullock filed for divorce from her then-husband of five years, Jesse James, after learning that she had multiple affairs throughout her marriage, according to Us Weekly.
"She is a very dear friend," Clooney said during an interview with People. "So to see how she's done this year, and she's had tough years before, it's been great." Bullock also revealed to Canada's etalk that she is thankful that she and Clooney lived together. "We've seen each other in many facets and stages of life, and this is just another one of those facets and stages," she noted (via PopSugar). "And the good thing is that we still like each other in the end, we still admire each other."
In addition to being a great partner to Bullock, Clooney is also her wingman.
George Clooney confessed why he would never date Sandra Bullock
Over 20 years ago, George Clooney was responsible for hooking up Sandra Bullock with one of her friends, and it was someone he really wanted to date at the time. "When I was out after spending time with George, George came up to him and said, 'If you don't marry her, I will,'" Bullock said during an interview with Access Hollywood. The "The Blind Side" star made it clear that Clooney was just kidding, but ultimately made the statement to goad her friend into going out with her. "That was something that made him just hang out with me, the boyfriend," Bullock told the outlet. "We were together for four years after that, thanks to George."
And while the two sound perfect for each other, Clooney revealed why she would never date Bullock. "She was dating one of my best friends," Clooney said during an interview with E! News. As a result, the "Ocean's Thirteen" actor explained why she doesn't get romantically involved with her dear friend. "There's a certain bro code, you know what I mean?" he added. "I've known her for a long, long time."
Although fans will never get the chance to see this couple as more than friends, at least Clooney and Bullock have found a partner for life.
