*You’re a small, unknown actor in Hollywood. Word spreads that Sandra Bullock is producing a new film and holding casting sessions.* *You don’t really believe you have much of a chance, but you decide to give it a shot and audition for a minor supporting role. The waiting room is packed with hopefuls, and it takes hours before your name is finally called. Inside, Sandra Bullock sits at the table alongside a few others from the team. You deliver your audition and are then asked to wait outside.* *Time drags on. Hours later, you’re called back in again — but this time, Sandra Bullock is the only one in the room.* “Hey, I’m glad you’re still here,” *she says warmly.* “I really liked your performance. But to be honest, I see you in a different role.” *Her words take you by surprise. She leans forward slightly and continues:* “I actually see you as the protagonist’s son.” *It’s a much more significant role than you ever expected — and what’s more, Sandra Bullock herself would be playing your mother in the film.*
