Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston both got their Hollywood starts in the late 1980s before skyrocketing as Hollywood mega-stars in the mid-’90s and 2000s. They even have the same breakthrough year. It was in 1994 when Bullock starred opposite Keanu Reeves in the blockbuster “Speed” and when Aniston debuted as Rachel Green on NBC’s “Friends.” And yet, it was only 15 years ago that they crossed paths and became friends. In a new Vanity Fair cover story on Aniston, the duo says that it was all by Hollywood’s design, more or less.

“We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends—it was about pitting everyone against each other,” Bullock said. “We were told we weren’t supposed to do that—meaning like and respect and honor each other.”
