The magic runs in the family.
Sandra Bullock’s two children, son Louis, 16, and daughter Laila, 12, make surprise appearances in “Practical Magic 2,” the actress revealed to Access Hollywood Monday at the Los Angeles premiere.
“They’re in the movie, but not in an obvious way to you,” Bullock, 62, told the outlet. “I can’t wait to show them where it is,” adding that her kids don’t know where their cameos appear in the film.
The “Blind Side” actress adopted Louis and Laila in her late 40s and raised them with her longtime partner, the late Bryan Randall, who died in August 2023 after a private battle with ALS.
When asked if she’s a “proud mama,” Bullock gushed that she’s “unbelievably proud” of her children.
“What’s amazing is that something happens when you have kids where you stop being the influence on them, and they become the influence on you,” she added.
The “Miss Congeniality” star called her son Louis her “steadfast moral barometer,” explaining, “I’m always like, ‘What would Louis do?’”
“When it comes to spotting things and thinking forward, it’s [Laila],” Bullock continued. “They’re so completely different, yet they give me two halves of a whole. … It’s amazing.”
Bullock debuted a new tattoo honoring her children at the London premiere of the long-awaited sequel on Aug. 26.
The ink on her left shoulder features the letters “L” and “B” and the number “2,” which Page Six Style confirmed is a tribute to Louis and Laila.
The “Ocean’s 8” actress made her Instagram debut to tease “Practical Magic 2,” in which she reprises her role as Sally Owens alongside co-star Nicole Kidman. The film hits theaters Sept. 10.
Bullock has largely kept her children’s lives private but has occasionally given fans a glimpse of Louis and Laila on social media, most recently sharing rare photos of them in a post about the family’s summer.
Among the photos Bullock posted to Instagram last month — captioned “Friends, family, fun, fishies, furries, aaaand work” — was a snap of her kids walking down a road with their backs to the camera.
