Sandra Bullock has revealed that she fantasises about inspiring Prince.

According to Jam! Showbiz, the 'Purple Rain' singer was one of Bullock's childhood heroes.

She added that she had seen him in a nightclub once but was too shy to say hello.

"There was a moment in New York in some nightclub when he was there years ago when I was a waitress," she explained. "I kept walking by him, hoping he would notice.

"He never looked at me. I think maybe he saw me once and wrote me off and I'm pretending I might have a chance to inspire a Prince song."

However, Bullock admitted that she doesn't want to meet the star as he might not live up to her expectations.

"I've seen the concerts and I don't want to meet the man who makes [me feel] sexy," she said. "Maybe he'll hate me and then I'll lose my [sexiness]."
