Naming Sandra Bullock the Most Beautiful Person in the World is sort of like naming Tom Hanks “the Nicest Dude in the World.” It’s an obvious choice, and it’s a choice that will give People Magazine very little controversy. The past cover ladies have included Lupita Nyong’o (2014), Gwyneth Paltrow (2013), Beyonce (2012) and Jennifer Lopez (2011). The “most beautiful” does skew towards moms, but to give People Mag some credit, they’ve been doing more diverse lists over the past decade or so. Anyway, part of the agreement when one is named Most Beautiful is an in-depth interview with People. You can read Sandra’s full interview here. She talks mostly about being a mom to son Louis. Some highlights:

When she heard she was ‘Most Beautiful’: She laughed. “No, really. I just said, ‘That’s ridiculous.’ I’ve told no one.”

Beauty in LA: “Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that.’ No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying.”

Conversations with Louis: “[I’m] listening to him tell me why he was going to marry his girlfriend. But then we were having Sunday dinner, and he said he changed his mind. I just told him, ‘Always love those who want to love you back and are nice to you.’ Then we moved back to Legos and ‘Why are you making me eat broccoli?’ ”

Her workouts with Body By Simone four to five times a week: “I love that it’s not big weights, you move the entire time, it’s a torture chamber of sorts. When I started, I could barely do 20 seconds, and I’m not kidding. I’m crying on the floor, and she’s like, ‘Are you a smoker?’ I was like, ‘I hate you.’ ”

What Louis says about her wrinkles: “I was putting him to bed and told him that even when I’m old and gray and more wrinkly than I am now, I’ll still love him and want to tuck him in. And he asked why I have wrinkles, and I said, ‘Well, I hope some of them are from laughing so much.’ And he touched my face and said, ‘You’re not old, you’re just happy.’ ”

She talks a lot about how she is as a mother, that she maintains the rules but she lets all of Louis’s aunties and uncles spoil him. She also says that she doesn’t want Louis to know she’s an actress because “I want it to be so inconsequential and such a nonissue. I want him to be embarrassed by me like all other parents.”

Let’s see who else made the Most Beautiful list this year – you can see People’s slideshow here. Who made the list? Vanessa Hudgens, Ariana Grande, Gabrielle Union, Laverne Cox, Taraji P. Henson, Gigi Hadid and many more. This list seems sort of… boring? I kind of think Taraji would have been a great cover girl though.
