Behind every celebrity who appears ready for the spotlight, there’s a dedicated glam squad, PR team, and of course, a personal assistant and housekeeper. The perception about celebrity PAs and housekeepers is that they deal with an endless list of indignities, and they essentially have to be at their employer’s beck and call.

Well, a few housekeepers and PAs to the stars have been dishing out tea about what it means to work for Hollywood’s elite circles. Without further ado, let’s pull back the veil on some of our favorite celebrities’ well-kept secrets, based on the accounts of their staff members.

Sandra Bullock – She Keeps Her Drapes Closed Throughout

Sandra Bullock has been working behind the scenes as a producer of several upcoming films, including Lost City D and an untitled feature in collaboration with Nora Fingscheidt. Bullock thrilled us in the 2018 Netflix horror Bird Box with the premise of an outbreak that spreads through sight. 

In the film, survivors have to wear blindfolds whenever they encounter the infected “entities,” and Bullock’s real-life apparently partly mirrors some aspects of the film. Bullock is quite paranoid about the possibility of people peering through her windows, and she prefers to keep her drapes shut throughout.
