'Through drama in the principal's office,' Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum confessed in a new interview, when asked where they first met.  The two hilariously detailed that encounter. It's not really the first time they ever met, but the initial one was very brief that did not allow them to really talk, since it was a birthday party.   

Bullock, 57, recalls the moment when she and Tatum, 41, became friends after a school event involving their daughters brought them together.

When Laila Bullock and Everly Tatum got into a big fight at pre-school, the actress and actor, who co-star in the new film, "The Lost City," were able to reunite at the unfortunate incident and realized they had a lot in common.

There was a scuffle between the girls, who were arguing over who was the "alpha" of the group, according to the narrator. 

Bullock joked that "there is some PTSD linked to it." Channing added that he has blocked that encounter out.  

"We met through drama, in the principal's office at pre-school," she continued. "We were called in together because Everly and Laila were trying to alpha the other one out, and we prayed it was the other's child that caused the damage," she added.

Laila and Everly have now reconciled, and they were able to spend some time together while Sandra and Channing were filming "The Lost City." The actress added that she and Tatum did the film because they party wanted to give their kids one long, COVID-safe play date.

"We even brought motorbikes down there. All we cared about is that Everly and Laila were just having the time of their lives," the actress recounted. 

Even though their initial encounter (which did not take place in the principal's office) was brief, Tatum had vivid memories of it. He claimed that the first celebrity he ever met was Sandra Bullock. 

The late talent manager, Chris Huvane, who was DJing at the time, invited Tatum as his plus one to an event that just so happened to be Bullock's birthday party when he was "still just a model" with credits like Abercrombie & Fitch and Armani. "I think that was my first week in Hollywood," Tatum told his costar during an interview with the New York Times. "You were the first celebrity person I met," he revealed. 

Fans need to cherish these projects of Bullock because she has plans of disappearing from the limelight very soon. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Sandra revealed: "I take my job very seriously when I'm at work," so she has missed out a lot in terms of time with her family. She intends to change this as soon as possible. 

"And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family," continued. "That's where I'm gonna be for a while."
