Schneider’s song “Bullets” is on the Miss Congeniality soundtrack, “The World Exploded Into Love” is in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and “Love Is Everywhere” is in All About Steve.
Even Further Flashback
Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey
Of course, before there was Schneider or James, there was McConaughey. Bullock and Matty Mac starred in A Time to Kill and were rumored to date after his relationship with Ashley Judd ended. Though honestly, we have to wonder if it was more of a friends with benefits kinda thing.
