Sandra Bullock is excited to be on Instagram, says won't be posting 'selfies or makeup tutorials'
Los Angeles, April 19
Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock is quite "excited" to join Instagram, and is looking forward to her time on the content-sharing app.
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.

"How badly can I f*** it up?" 😂 Relatable! Even Hollywood stars get nervous about social media. Her warning about scammers is very important for fans in India too. Many fake accounts prey on people here.
Respect for her cautious approach. In an age where influencers post everything for likes, she's setting a good example. Hope she shares some behind-the-scenes from her movies instead of makeup tutorials!
Five million followers in days! That's star power. But I appreciate her honesty about not being spontaneous. It shows she values her platform and won't just post anything for engagement.
While I admire her thought process, part of me wishes she'd be a bit more casual. Social media is for fun connection! Her account might feel too curated and corporate if she overthinks every post. Just my two paise.
"I need to figure this out" – same here, Sandra! Many of us parents in India joined social media just to keep up with our kids' world. Excited to see what content she chooses to share. 🤗
