Antonette Coulton from People Magazine

This has to be the biggest variety ever featured in People Magazine. The 2015 Most Beautiful Women has been announced. You know I have to People Magazine about this. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Antonette Coulton (NEW YORK) – PEOPLE has named Sandra Bullock “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” 2015 in its 26th annual “World’s Most Beautiful” special double issue. Yet it’s her role as mom to her 5-year-old son Louis that makes the Oscar-winning actress feel most beautiful every day. “When I first held him, I realized what my purpose in life was,” Bullock, 50, tells PEOPLE. “I’m the lucky one.” Her definition of real beauty, she says, “is quiet. Especially in this town [Hollywood], it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that.’ No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying.” She says, “I have never been a great beauty. I’ve never been the bombshell that was coveted. In an odd way, that made growing older a lot easier in this business.” The role she feels most beautiful in is “the role of mother,” she says. “I don’t feel beautiful in anything I’ve acted in. I don’t watch myself, but I’ve gotten better about looking at the work. I don’t mind aging on film, I just don’t feel beautiful.” Regarding talk that she might be adding to her brood, she responds, “I’ve always said that I could have a house full of kids. But at this time the only kids in my house, other than Louis, are the ones whose parents want them back at the end of the playdate.” Visit people.com/mostbeautiful for more on Sandra Bullock, plus exclusive video from PEOPLE’s “World’s Most Beautiful” photo shoots.
