Sandra Bullock is People's oldest-ever 'Most Beautiful Woman'

Sandra Bullock may be the World's Most Beautiful Woman, but she knows that beauty is about more than just looks.

In her People magazine cover interview for the title, Bullock says that "real beauty" is based on your treatment of other people. "Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it's just so hard not to say, 'Oh, I need to look like that,' " Bullock tells People. "No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they're in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren't trying."

At 50, Bullock is the oldest person to ever receive the title. Before Bullock, the oldest-ever Most Beautiful person was Julia Roberts, who was 42 when she covered People's Most Beautiful issue in 2010. The youngest Most Beautiful person, meanwhile, was Leonardo DiCaprio, who covered the issue in 1998 at age 23.
