Sandra Bullock prefers keeping her personal life away from the spotlight, staying off social media and rarely giving interviews when not in the middle of a promotional cycle.

However, for her birthday on July 26, her celebrity friends came out in spades to share their love for her with hilarious tributes and throwbacks.

One of them was fellow American sweetheart Jennifer Aniston, who shared a few photos that encapsulated their friendship, and a star-studded video from a party that you can watch below.

The Oscar-winning actress did share last year that she would be taking some time away from acting and the public eye to devote to her family, specifically raising her children, Louis and Laila Bullock, aged 13 and 11 respectively.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June, she stated: "Work has always been steady for me, and I've been so lucky. I realized it possibly was becoming my crutch. It was like opening up a fridge all the time and looking for something that was never in the fridge.
