Sandra Bullock On “The TODAY Show” — “Louis Is A Little Cajun Cookie”

Sandra Bullock is opening up about the adoption of 7-month-old son Louis in her first television interview since splitting with scandal-scarred biker Jesse James.

“He’s a little Cajun cookie,” Sandra said of Louis in a pre-taped interview with Matt Lauer set to air on the morning gabfest on Tuesday.

The Oscar-winning actress, 46, spoke to Matt at Warren Easton Charter High School, where she was on hand for the school’s health clinic ribbon cutting ceremony in New Orleans on Sunday. Sandra says the curly-haired babe with adorably chubby cheeks was a most weekly addition to her family, especially for his grandpa — who’s spent the past 50 years as the underdog in a house filled with women.

“…I didn’t think it would be a boy. We don’t have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he’s like the crown prince. You know, it’s nothing but girls in our family. I mean, my cousin in Germany has one son – no boys. Can you imagine how miserable our father is? I mean, every pet was female. But it was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken,” Sandra explained.

In April, Bullock brought her new son home after going through a four-year adoption process — all without the media finding out. The star credits her tight-lipped friends and family with keeping news of Louis’ adoption under their hats: “It takes good people with integrity… human beings exist that have integrity that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don’t sell out their friends. Those people are all over the place. But again, we don’t like to talk about it, because it doesn’t sell a magazine. But I was blessed with the same friends I’ve had since before things got really special for me and blessed in life,” Sandra said.

“I think, everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out,” Bullock added. “We had always said that it didn’t matter where the child came from. If they had issues that were medical issues, we didn’t care. It’s like the child that needed us in the home is the child that’s going to be placed.”
