    Sandra Bullock admits being stalked her turned her home into her "fortress"

    In 2014, the 61-year-old star was left terrified after a mentally unwell stalker broke into her house while she was there, and she's still affected by the incident over a decade later


    She told Vanity Fair magazine: "It makes me think, Do I really have to go outside and navigate the world?

    "There's the cases where they got into the house, the cases where they're outside the house, the cases where you're on a film set and they figured out where you are, and the cases that no one hears about.

    "It's ongoing. It's not a one-off. And it does create a mindset where your home also unfortunately becomes your fortress."

    Sandra's close friend Jennifer Aniston, 56, was at home in May this year when a 48-year-old man - who has been accused of stalking, which he has denied - allegedly drove into her gate.

    The Friends actress said: "People are out of their minds. Who wants to put that energy out there."

    She insisted her security team is "not glamorous in any way", instead describing it as "a necessity".

    Sandra admitted the two friends encourage each other to leave the comfort of their own homes.

    She admitted: "There's a motivation of going, 'Okay, we need to go somewhere. Where are we going?'?"

    Jennifer quipped: "I'm desperately trying not to Howard Hughes myself."

    The duo also try to help each other get over their fear of flying, as Sandra joked the pair look "pathetic" when they're on a plane together.

    She joked: "The two of us on a plane-it's the most pathetic thing to look at. Usually it's us grabbing each other's arms from across the table with our heads down."

    For Jennifer, her own fears subside when her friends are scared in the same moment.

    She revealed: "All of a sudden, my fear falls away and I get to take care of them.

    "When there's someone in need of being calmed, I have such empathy for it that all of a sudden my fear goes out the window."
