well, i hope you ended up having a very happy birthday! hopefully, you did something special and had a whole lot of fun! wait, we're meant to give out life lessons as we get older? because i'll be forty-seven toward the end of august, and if i have to give out forty-seven life lessons by then, i need to start figuring some things out. thankfully i've already been paying attention to the not pick your nose in public thing, but i do appreciate the advice and i'll make sure to pass it along to my kids. one's not born yet -- but the minute she is, i'll make sure to tell her!

[sndrabullock]

it was a good birthday! i don't think the life lessons are mandatory. and if they are, nobody told me and i squeaked by without them. thank god. that's what i'm saying! i don't think i have that many lessons to impart. i feel like i need life lessons. somebody give me some wisdom. okay, excellent start - some people haven't even gotten as far as to take the nose-picking advice. absolutely, drill it into her from the beginning! congratulations, by the way.

[lilsychloe]

happy birthday, gorgeous! i'll say that you don't look a day over twenty-nine, so i'm not sure you've got fifty-nine life lessons to teach me. though i'll say you really imparted some solid wisdom with that one, and hopefully, people will listen and they're not going around town being gross with their fingers up their noses. it's a shame you're not giving out other life advice -- i could use some! but either way, do you have any special plans for your birthday? hopefully, you've got a gaggle of people who are just waiting to spoil you, because that's no doubt what you deserve!

[sndrabullock]

thank you so much! and that's exactly the kind of thing you tell someone on their fifty-ninth birthday, so remember to drill it into everybody to do you that courtesy someday. solid wisdom is what i do. you would hope, but this is hollywood we're talking about. i'm happy to dish out life advice on particular topics where i feel like i can offer something of substance, but unsolicited advice is just a no-no for me. i ended up having some friends over and we made a night of it, and everybody got home intact, so the evening was a success.

[mackayhq-deactivated20260106]

Happy birthday to you, love! How'd you end up spending the day? And that's good life advice for any life situation, though especially for us in the public eye when we've no idea when cameras around. Though is it funnier to let our kids pick their noses in public instead since it's hilarious when they do? Asking for a parent.

[sndrabullock]

thank you! i kept it pretty lowkey - i invited some friends over and we had a great night, but we kept it pretty casual. right? it feels like life advice that works for every walk of life, and that was the goal. it is objectively funnier if you let the kids do it. my son has recently discovered farting in public and it takes every ounce of my energy to act like it's not as hilarious as it is.

[lucy-moderatz]

Every day, I go and I sit in a booth like a veal. I work every holiday. I go home to a cat. And now, a rich and handsome man has asked me to marry him, and I have said yes. Okay, okay, that makes me a raving, total lunatic.

[dayamsc]

well happy birthday, queen! i hope you've been having the best day -- and that you're going out and partying some to celebrate! especially since you're only fifty-nine years young, you should be out there being the life of the party. and while i appreciate the one piece of life advice that you had to offer -- i'd have been happy with some others as well, because i just know you've got a lot of interesting things going on in that head of yours! there are probably a lot of people out there right now that could use all fifty-nine life lessons you've got to share. and also if you're in la right now, you'll have to let me take you out for a belated birthday drink!

[sndrabullock]

it was indeed a good day! i threw one hell of a party that i'm still recovering from. that's where the fifty-nine part comes in. thank you for appreciating the nose-picking tidbit - i had a feeling it was going to resonate with the masses. and it has. listen, there is nothing overtly profound going on in my head at any given moment, but the piece of actual advice i've been giving to people asking for it is to stop wasting time worrying. just because that was a problem i had a lot when i was younger. i wasted so much of my life worried about everything. i am in la! i'm ready for a belated birthday drink any time of year. just say the word.

i hope you're having a happy birthday, love! and i think a lot of people could use your fifty-nine life lessons, so you shouldn't hold back from sharing them, yeah? i'll say that i hope most people know not to pick their noses in public -- but i've seen some gross people a time or two that didn't give two fucks about it. but see, you've got me wondering about this specific life advice out there, and just know you can share anything with me and i'll listen. especially some good life advice, because i need it. i can't promise i'll listen, as i'm a young lad yet, but i'll still absorb what you're saying a little.

[sndrabullock]

thank you! it was a solid birthday. no complaints here. i don't think people need fifty-nine life lessons from me. i don't even think i've learned fifty-nine life lessons. you would think the general public would have an understanding of the nose-picking rule, but then you get on the streets of new york and you realize people will surprise you. you won't listen. and that's not a dig at your character, it's just that i'm a mom and i know how this works. but i'll say that i do wish my younger self would have done less worrying and more living, so if that's something that happens to apply to you, then do with it as you will. or brush it off, because that's what we do when we're young.

[nchoult]

first off, happy birthday, love! i'm a little sad that you've decided not to torture me with fifty-nine life lessons -- because i could use a couple of them. but wise of you to tell others not to pick their nose, that really could cause some attention you don't want if anyone sees it! but now i feel like i need to ask you for more little blessings of wisdom, because that little bit of knowledge has me wanting a bit more, yeah?

[sndrabullock]

thank you, thank you. i still feel like i need fifty-nine life lessons. someone needs to be dishing them out to me. but i felt like the nose-picking thing was a solid piece of advice that everybody could go on about their day with. not too specific, you know? alright, if i had to choose another one ... hug people with two arms.

today is my birthday, and i won't torture you with fifty-nine life lessons, but if i had to impart one ... i think don't pick your nose in public would have to take the cake. always carry tissues. there's a lot of very specific life advice out there, but that one's pretty general and i feel safe impressing it upon the general public. so there you have it.

Music festivals are wild, man.

I love going to them as a fan and jamming out to other band’s sets. But performing them is just next level.

The boys and I have done a few different ones in the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, and Spain over the last few weeks and it’s just been an unreal experience. It’s a wild ride and I’m here for every minute of it.

So I have a question for you: what has been your favorite music festival or concert that you’ve been to or performed at?

@gonehollywoodstarters

[sndrabullock]

do you have a favorite out of all the festivals you've done? i'm not saying you have to say germany, but you are speaking to a full-fledged german, so keep that in mind. i don't have a single musical bone in my body, but when i was doing the blind side with tim mcgraw, he was doing a benefit concert for flood recovery with faith in nashville, and i somehow ended up on stage painfully trying to pluck my way through the opening riff of smoke on the water for laughs.

Curiosity question: what is the biggest or coolest thing you’ve gotten to do in your career?

I recently got an opportunity to sing Uptown Girl with my good friend Billy Joel in Hyde Park. Truly a bucket list moment.

nothing that's going to top billy joel in hyde park, that's what. i did get felt up by betty white on camera. it doesn't get much bigger than that. i mean, really - what's an oscar in comparison to betty?

While working on my tan because London has done me dirty, I was reading this article about how you can get to know a person through their Netflix queue. It's made me curious about what people would think of me since it's horror movies, serial killer documentaries, and baking shows. I just wonder if people would think I'm some demented housewife that loves to be scared! What's on your Netflix queue? If I'm going to be judged for what I watch, I'd like to judge others for what they watch too! And if you happen to see me by the pool reading The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, please stop by and say hello! Don't just walk fast past me! This is the first vacation I've had in a long time since working on Wicked and I love meeting new people and old friends. Plus I want to hear how everyone else's trip is going! @gonehollywoodstarters

[sndrabullock]

in your defense, i think the serial killer stuff has become universal. somehow, as a society, we've all ended up in a place where we've learned to relax to the most horrific imagery imaginable. it's just fascinating. mine is always full of stuff everybody else has watched already. i'm so bad at keeping up with it. you'd better believe i'll park my ass right by that pool for a creepy passage! wait, did wicked wrap already or are you about to fly back to london looking like glinda spent too long in the tanning booth?
