LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock's heartwarming friendship was on full display as Aniston took to her Instagram Story to celebrate Bullock's 59th birthday with a series of never-before-seen photos. In one of the snapshots, Aniston affectionately referred to Bullock as "Happy Birthday Sand-a-La!" showcasing their close bond.
The photos shared by Aniston featured heartwarming moments, including a group shot with Aniston, Bullock, and Aniston's 'Friends' costar Courteney Cox. “WE LOVE YOU!!!” Aniston wrote with three red heart emojis. Another picture showcased Bullock enjoying a caricature mug inspired by the 'Murder Mystery 2' star's Apple TV+ series, 'The Morning Show'. Seemingly finishing her previous sentiment, Aniston posted another photo of Bullock with a friend, writing, “SO MUCH!”
Are Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock friends?
Aniston and Bullock's friendship has stood the test of time, with the two stars reflecting on how actor Tate Donovan, whom they both dated in the '90s, played a part in introducing them to each other.
In a past interview, Bullock humorously remarked, “[He] was a very patient human being, given that he dated us both." “He seems to have a type,” Aniston said, with Bullock describing: “Talented. Funny. Kind. Introspective. Generous.”
'I'm folding it in!'
However, the birthday tribute didn't end there. Aniston added a humorous touch by sharing a hilarious video of Bullock taking charge in the kitchen, where they whipped up chocolate pumpkin brownies from Lil Luna on Wednesday, July 26. The kitchen adventure featured Bullock as the head chef, supported by her sous chef for the day, actor Sean Hayes from 'Will & Grace'. Their fun-filled kitchen gathering seemed to be in honor of Bullock's 59th birthday, and Aniston's post gave fans a glimpse into their intimate celebration.
While mixing the ingredients in a bowl, Bullock, the birthday girl, cheerfully followed Aniston's instructions from behind the camera, asking, "What step are we at now, missy?" "I'm folding it in!" Bullock replied, prompting Aniston to quip, "That's what he said," causing Hayes to emphatically repeat the joke, leading to laughter from the 'Bullet Train' actress in the background. After regaining her composure from the laughing fit, Bullock playfully scolded one of their off-camera friends, humorously advising, "Don't pick your nose and then tell us how to cook!"
