Sandra Bullock, Hollywood’s ultimate sweetheart, once asked to be fired from a movie and yes, fired. Why? Early in her career, she found herself steering through a “situation” with someone in authority. Her response: “Please, just fire me,” she told The Sunday Times. It was a hard lesson, but it shaped how she handled tough scenarios in the years to come.

Bullock revealed that humor was her go-to defense. “I kept deflecting it with humour, and it didn’t work,” she said. The uncomfortable ordeal didn’t just lead her to walk away from that project; it reshaped her entire approach. “After that, I tended to remove anything that could be misconstrued as sexual. I locked it down.”

Her knack for using humor to survive sticky situations didn’t stop there. Fast forward to a 2009 interview on The Today Show. Matt Lauer spent four long minutes grilling her about a single nude scene. Cringe alert. Asked later if she regretted not appearing more outraged, Bullock explained, “That’s how I’ve always navigated tricky situations. That’s how I’ve survived.”
