Online advertisements about the Oscar-winning actress and her son had appeared in various forms at the beginning of 2021.
In February 2021, a misleading online advertising appeared about Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock’s son. It read: “[Photos] Sandra Bullock’s Son Finally Confirms the Rumors.” The picture chosen by the ad’s creator showed her with a serious facial expression as if some sort of bad and damaging rumors were revealed.
In that story, we reported:
Despite what the ad said about Bullock’s son looking “familiar” to readers, it’s unlikely that anyone recognized her children because they are not public figures. The ad also claimed that Bullock’s son was “all grown up.” This was false.
Hollywood celebrity Sandra Bullock is loved by many for her passionate acting in many films. One life-long role Sandra took on was being a mother to her first child, an adopted son named Louis Bardot. In 2010, the Oscar winner was already in a four-year process of adopting a child with her then-husband Jesse James when she found out about his many affairs.
After their split, Bullock herself continued with the adoption of then-three-month-old cutie Louis from New Orleans. In 2015, the “Birdbox” (2018) star grew her brood and adopted her daughter, Laila, from Louisiana.
We also previously reported on similarly misleading ads about Tom Selleck purportedly “finally” confirming some rumors. Selleck’s trustworthy reputation and no-nonsense onscreen characters might be the reason why his face appears (without his permission) in so many misleading online ads.
