Sandra Bullock Surprises Today's Hoda Kotb: How She Inspired Host to Be a Mom

Hoda Kotb got a surprise video message from her friend Sandra Bullock while celebrating her 60th birthday on the Monday, August 12, episode of 'Today'

Referring to their shared journeys of adopting kids at an older age, Bullock continued: “[I’m] tired because I had to make my way up that mountain before you got there so I could check out the terrain and see what things look like and, you know, just get the feel so I could fill you in. Bullock went on to thank Kotb for “being so incredible to so many people,” adding, “What you do for a living and how you have to shapeshift every single day, how you navigate your kindness, even when that’s not what’s coming your way, how you are to those you care about and how you keep them safe, and just who you are as a human being. “The reason that I have Haley and Hope is because when I was looking for inspiration of somebody who was a mom at my age, Sanda Bullock popped up and I called her and I said, ‘Tell me about motherhood.’ And she said, ‘It is the best decision I ever made,’” Kotb explained.
