Sandra Bullock shared an inspiring birthday message about aging.
Over the weekend, Hoda Kotb turned 60, and the Today With Hoda and Jenna crew threw a proper birthday bash. An on-air party consisted of all kinds of surprises for the co-anchor, including a special 60th birthday message about aging from Sandra Bullock, who celebrated the milestone in July.
The video message played for Kotb while she and her co-host Jenna Bush Hager sat on stage and watched, along with their crowd. She immediately teared up when Bullock appeared on screen. “Hoda, Hoda, Hoda,” Bullock began. “I had so many brilliant and funny things prepared for you for this message that were just going to slay, but you know girl, I’m just too tired.”
She continued: “I’m tired because I had to make my way up that mountain before you got there so I could check out the terrain and see what things look like, and just get the feel so I can fill you in. And it’s weird because people seem to want us to be afraid of what it might look like when we get there. Turns out it’s pretty damn great. It’s pretty awesome.”
Bullock ended by welcoming her friend to Club 60. “Happy birthday, my sweet friend. Thank you for allowing me to be in your circle,” she said. “I feel very grateful. And I have your bar set up, up here, so we can look at the view. It’s pretty beautiful, but I need you up here. Happy birthday.”
Fans adored the message and chimed in with their own. “What a beautiful message. I would completely crumble if anyone said something so incredible about me,” one person commented on Instagram. “Crying. 😭 So much love 💕♥️,” another added. “Beautiful message from your Beautiful Friend ❤️,” someone else wrote.
Kotb has long been vocal about her gratitude for aging, and in a new Making Space podcast episode, she shared how that mantra is already spilling into her 60s. “Every decade, no matter what you are, is a chance for repotting, rebirth, resurgence. It’s like, all these things can happen. You get to choose. You’re on your own ride... and your blessings are coming when they come,” she said. “[They] might come in your 20s. They might come in your 30s. They might come in in your 40s. Mine started—started—in my 50s. That’s when the best ones came. So I can only imagine that my 60s are going to be filled with all of that goodness.”
And that’s what they call manifesting. Happy birthday, Hoda!
