Sandra Bullock can thank her kids for turning her into a J. Cole fan.

During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Bullock was asked which artist her children introduced her to. She didn't need much time to come up with an answer.

"J. Cole. I mean, wooo, he's good," Bullock said.

Bullock's appreciation for Cole also comes with an interesting connection: the rapper previously name-dropped the actress on his song "cLOUDS."

"I'm Sandra Bullock, either proceed with speed or don't breathe," Cole rapped, referencing two of Bullock's movies, Speed and Gravity.

The viral moment comes as Bullock has returned to the spotlight while promoting Practical Magic 2, her first movie since 2022's The Lost City.
