“Whenever I’m about to do or say something, I first think W.W.S.B.D., which stands for What Would Sandra Bullock Do?” Katherine recently told The Orange County Register.
The actress, who is known for speaking her mind in interviews, said she’s aiming to be “just like” the Oscar winner when it comes to handling herself in the public eye.
“I don’t know her personally, but… she seems to be one of the most well-spoken, gracious, charming and funny women in Hollywood. If I could get there, I would like to be just like her,” she told the paper.
Katherine and Sandra, both stars who’ve adopted, have been the target of the paparazzi in recent months – something the “Killers” star is still learning how to handle.
“There becomes a focus on you that sometimes can feel overwhelming…You feel so self-conscious. You feel like you have to pose all the time,” Katherine said. “They’re not nice… They want drama, and they’ll do or say anything to get it.”
Last month, Sandra told People, “I just wanted to ask the photographers if they have children. Would this be fair to do to them? I wish there were laws here in the U.S. that were the same as in the UK, where children are not allowed to be hunted down or mowed over to get a photo. I was profoundly amazed at how much money was being made from other people’s pain.”
