Washington
(ANI):
Latino
comedian
George
Lopez
reveals
that
he
considers
actress
Sandra
Bullock
to
be
his
"guardian
angel" after
she
saved
him
from
an
early
death.
The
comedian
took
to
the
bottle
in
the
mid-1990s
when
he
was
going
through
a
bad
phase
of
life,
and
at
that
time
it
was
Bullock
who
gave
him
the
opportunity
to
star
in
his
own
TV
show
named
'The
George
Lopez
Show".
Bullock
produced
the
U.S.
sitcom,
and
the
show
turned
his
fortune
around.
Since
then
he
considers
Bullock
his
"guardian
angel".
"I
grew
up
where
you
could
visually
see
people
wasting
their
lives
and
the
pattern
was
kind
of
laid
out
for
me
for
drinking
your
life
away
or
not
believing
what
you
could
do,"
Contactmusic
quoted
Lopez,
as
saying.
"I
hit
a
hard
time
in
the
mid-90s,
where
I
was
self
abusing
with
alcohol
and
then
Sandra
Bullock
turned
that
around.
"She
was
my
guardian
angel,
definitely.
I'd
lived
unhealthy
and
I
just
kind
of
accepted
the
way
I
felt
and
kind
of
adjusted
to
the
fact
that
I
was
deteriorating
from
the
time
I
was
a
kid
at
18,
through
my
20s
and
30s.
"I
didn't
want
to
become
what
the
people
I
grew
up
with
had
become,
which
was
abusing
the
system,
using
excuses
for
not
succeeding,
living
off
the
state
and
raising
these
kids
who
had
no
respect
for
anybody,"
he
added.
