20 Things You Didn't Know About Speed

20. Sandra Bullock Actually Learned To Drive A Bus

It's not rare for an actor to learn new skills when preparing for a role, particularly if they're method. While no one is claiming 90s Sandra Bullock of being of the Day Lewis-caliber, she was certainly determined to prove herself on the set of her first major blockbuster.
