Overview
- Bullock disclosed Monday on the SmartLess podcast that Bryan Randall was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2020 and asked her to keep the illness private.
- She described organizing covert, round‑the‑clock care at home, hiring four male nurses and isolating visitors to protect Randall’s wish for secrecy.
- Bullock said caregiving took a heavy toll on her mental health and that she stopped acting after struggling through The Lost City reshoots.
- She said both of her children were aware of Randall’s decline, that her son stepped back about two years before his death and her daughter remained closer until roughly six months before he died.
- Randall died in August 2023 after a three‑year battle with ALS, and Bullock is now gradually returning to public life while promoting Practical Magic 2.
