"We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends," recalled Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock is pulling back the curtain on her long-standing friendship with fellow actress Jennifer Aniston —including the fact that they "weren't supposed to" bond when they met roughly 15 years ago. Speaking with Vanity Fair about the Murder Mystery actress, Bullock explained that Hollywood was a different beast back then.

The two mega-stars also happened to both date Friends co-star Tate Donovan, which is also something of a throughline in Aniston's relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, not directly involving Tate Donovan, but rather someone else who did also appear on Friends: Brad Pitt, the famed ex-hubby of both Paltrow and Aniston.
