Sandra Bullock has said that she is ‘still embarrassed’ by one of her old films as she admitted she 'wished she hadn’t done' it.
The Oscar-winning actor, who turned 60 on Friday (26 July), is one of Hollywood's longest serving stars and has been a part of so many classics that it's hard to keep track.
From starring in Miss Congeniality and The Proposal to more serious roles in The Blind Side and Gravity, the woman's pretty much done it all.

However, there is one sequel that she regrets acting in to this day.
While out promoting The Lost City in 2022 alongside co-star Daniel Radcliffe, the pair was asked by TooFab about their most embarrassing project.
"I think honestly, when I was on Harry Potter and dressed as a school boy, it didn't feel like the coolest thing in the world at the time," Radcliffe said.

"It's been, honestly, later that I've looked back and gone, 'That was incredibly cool,' and I do feel that now, for sure."
Whereas Bullock revealed: "You stumped me with the fans coming around later on [part of the question].
"I have one no one came around to and I'm still embarrassed I was in. It's called Speed 2. I've been very vocal about it.
"Makes no sense. Slow boat. Slowly going towards an island.

"That's one I wished I hadn't done and no fans came around, that I know of, except for you."
Speed 2: Cruise Control, released in 1997, was the sequel to 1994's Speed, starring Keanu Reaves.
Bullock reprised her role as Annie Porter, as Jason Patric joined up the cast to play Alex Shaw.

The plot centres around a hijacked cruise ship, which was a pretty big departure from the original film's bus-bound narrative.
Despite the hype, the film never really took off. Not to mention that Rotten Tomatoes gave it a four percent rating on the Tomatometer, matched with a 16 percent audience score. Brutal.
"Why is this movie called Speed? Why is there no Keanu Reeves? Why does this take place on a cruise ship?" one viewer complained.

As another added: "Terrible overall. While the opening scene is entertaining it is a slow slog downhill from there until the final 5 minutes. The best part of this film is the ending where you can tell most of the budget an effort went into and it is entertaining to watch. But is it worth the hour and a half investment to get there....absolutely not."
Looks like we'll all be giving that one a miss.
