It’s been a long time coming but Sandra Bullock has officially made her Instagram debut.
The 61-year-old sent fans into a frenzy when she joined the social media platform on April 14.
While she only posted one clip, her followers soon sky-rocketed from zero to 4.4 million in a matter of hours.
Sandra shared a short video which can be viewed above as she appeared to promote Practical Magic 2 by showing off her magic skills while mixing cocktails.
She was immediately inundated with comments from fans and celebrity friends with Nicole Kidman writing: “I’ll have margaritas with you anytime,” and Jennifer Aniston commenting: “She’s here.”
‘About time’
Reese Witherspoon also chimed in when she wrote: “IG just got a lot better,” and Lily Collins quipped: “Woooopwoooop.”
Ryan Reynolds added: “Yessss next is Cate Blanchett,” and Warner Bros approved too.
Many fans said it was “about time,” and while the comments poured in, so did her followers.

Sandra exuded effortless glamour as she posed for photographers. When she reunited with her Practical Magic co-star, Nicole, it delighted fans and photographers alike.
Family life

She often describes her children, who she adopted in her 40s, as her top priority and the “greatest gift”.
She told Jada Pinkett Smith on her Red Table Talk in 2022: “I don’t know why that was the only route, but I’m so glad the universe had me wait. Even though I was anxious and I was eager – and it went nope, you’re not going to do it the way you think you’re going to do it.”
Her partner’s death

The actress has refrained from speaking about his death publicly so as to maintain her family’s privacy.
His family released a statement at the time which read: “Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.
“We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours.”
