SANDRA Bullock almost didn’t make her new movie The Blind Side – because she kept turning down the role!

The Hollywood superstar — who plays a wealthy woman who takes in a homeless teenager who goes on to play college football in the movie, based on on a novel by Michael Lewis — admits she was worried about “messing up” the part.

“I don’t even remember saying yes to the movie,” Sandra revealed. “I kept turning it down.

“Not because I didn’t like it, but because I didn’t know how to do it. I didn’t know how to make it the story that it deserves to be. I couldn’t bring to the role what it needed.

“These are the kinds of roles that actresses can mess up, and that’s one of the reasons I didn’t want to step into it! I didn’t know how to make it as good as the story.”

“I’m glad I did it. It’s still a scary thought for me. I don’t know how I did it, but I had a lot of time to prepare for it.”

Sandra, 45, recently revealed that she had to force herself to go down the gym in order to prepare for her naked scenes in her recent hit flick The Proposal.

“Sadly, my first and last nude scene got laughs,” Bullock said. “I had to be very secure with that.

“When I read it on the page, I realized, ‘Okay, there’s no way to shoot this unless you’re buck naked’, so I decided to go to the gym and cut out the carbs.

“If it turned out funny, though, it was worth it. But shooting it was odd. There are things stuck to you where you generally don’t have things stuck.

“Then you’d get unstuck and oddly, not care because you’re so tired. [Director] Anne Fletcher was like, ‘Your vagina is hanging out. Cover it up’, and I go, ‘Sorry, sorry’.”
