Sandra Bullock‘sBird Boxhas terrified audiences but the actress reveals she hates being scared herself.
The 54-year-old Oscar winner told PEOPLE she and costarSarah Paulsonhad fun filming the Netflix thriller but didn’t enjoy feeling fear while on set.
“I don’t like to be scared. I hate being scared,” she said. “I hate, hate people who think it’s funny to stand behind doors and scare you because they know that you hate being scared.”
Paulson, 44, agreed and named one person who had masterminded the perfect scare tactics.
“LikeEllen DeGeneres,” Paulson shared. “She does that.”

Bullock jokingly added, “Horrible human being. I don’t know why I keep going on her show. She’s a horrible human being for that. No, she knows not to do it with me.”
“She does it to you,” Bullock told Paulson. “Because you’re funny when you’re scared.”
“And I don’t know how I found myself sort of working a lot in that genre,” she continued referring to her work onAmerican Horror Story.
“Probably because you’re believable,” Bullock suggested.
