Sandra Bullock Joins Instagram, Vows No Selfies or Makeup Tutorials

The 61-year-old actress recently joined the platform, gaining more than five million followers within days, reports 'Female First UK'.

However, the actress shared that she's still learning how to use Instagram. She said at CNBC's event, "It didn't feel like it would ever be my thing. I do have two kids, and I was like, I need to figure this out. So I'd been on social media, but quietly, just to learn and shop".

Sandra wanted a plan before launching her Instagram account and admitted she is far from spontaneous when it comes to social media.

She said, "I'm not spontaneous. I need to think about it. How does that affect what I can contribute? How badly can I f*** it up? Which, that will come, and I'm just going to lean into that".

As per 'Female First UK', the actress also asked for advice on how to post during a visit to the studio, making clear what kind of content fans should not expect from her.

She said, "OK, talk to me, tell me what you see, because if I need to be able to make myself look like an idiot and have fun, I will not be doing selfies or makeup tutorials".

Meanwhile, Sandra previously warned fans of the threat posed by social media scammers. The actress' image was being used as part of a bogus campaign on social media platforms, and Sandra engaged with the police in a bid to tackle the problem.

She told 'People' magazine, "My family's safety, as well as the innocent people being taken advantage of, is my deep concern, and there will be a time when I will comment more, but for now our focus is helping law enforcement handle this matter".

"Please be aware that I do not participate in any form of social media. Any accounts pretending to be me or anyone associated with me are fake accounts and have been created for financial gain or to exploit people around me", she added.
