Sandra Bullock, unlike her Hollywood contemporaries, is not active on social media and this is all because of a movie she starred in in 1995.

While speaking to the host of SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show on why she is not on social media compared to other celebrities, the Speed actress quipped that it's because of her role in the movie The Net.

“I learned a lot,” the 57-year-old replied jokingly.

Sharing her experience, The Blind Side star stated, “We met real hackers and I remember people going, 'Does that exist? Do you think we could actually order a pizza from your computer?' And I was like, 'Yes.’”

For the unversed, The Net features Bullock in lead role as Angela Bennett, a systems analyst for a software company. In the movie, the protagonist exposes a government conspiracy while also trying to save her identity from being removed completely.

The Unforgivable star clarified in a 2018 interview with InStyle of ever feeling pressure to join social media. 

The Oscar winner replied, “I am not ignorant of what's happening out there. I look over people's shoulders, going, 'What is that little vignette of a cat on a fan?” 

“I am just lazy. But I am going to get on it and troll my friends. Once my kids are using it, I will know how to navigate it. I don’t want to be naïve,” she added.

Bullock is currently seen opposite Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe in her movie The Lost City
