Single mom Sandra Bullock has been named PEOPLE‘s 2015 “World’s Most Beautiful Woman.” The Academy Award-winning actress, 50, opens up about the “ridiculous” title and gushes about 5-year-old son Louis.

On “deep” conversations with Louis: “[I love] 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?’ “

On Louis being wrapped around her finger: “But I will never let him know it. We have rules. I let everyone else be the aunties and uncles who spoil him and I’m the one that lays down the law.”

On Louis trying to understand her celebrity status: “He thought I was an astronaut for a while. I want it to be so inconsequential and such a nonissue. I want him to be embarrassed by me like all other parents.”

On a sweet conversation with Louis: “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.’ ”

On being named “World’s Most Beautiful Woman”: “No, really. I just said, ‘That’s ridiculous. I’ve told no one.”

On her definition of beauty: “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.”

The magazine’s May 4, 2015 issue highlights 192 other beautiful women, including Laverne Cox, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Ariana Grande, Gigi Hadid, Taraji P. Henson, Vanessa Hudgens, Padma Lakshmi, Shay Mitchell and Meghan Trainor, to name a few.
