Heather Burns says she would love working on third sequel of Miss Congeniality
New York [US], June 16 (ANI): Actress Heather Burns expressed her interest in working with her dear friend Sandra Bullock on the third sequel of the hit film 'Miss Congeniality' if given a chance, reported People. In an interview with People during the premiere of her latest film, 'The Best You Can,' at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, Burns said that she would love to work on the third part of the 'Miss Congeniality' franchise, and called it "one of the best experiences" of her life. "I would love it. That was one of the best experiences of my life. It was so much fun making both of those films. I'm actually here with one of the other actresses. Melissa De Sousa, she played Miss New York, she's my date tonight, which is wonderful," said Burns as quoted by People Magazine. Even though it has been almost two decades since the release of the first instalment, certain cast members are still in touch and are good friends. "I made lifelong friends with Sandra Bullock. It's just a dream. So yes, a third [movie], I would jump at it," said Heather Burns as quoted by People. After working on 'Miss Congeniality' in 1999, Bullock and Burns worked together on 'Two Weeks Later,' a romantic comedy. Meanwhile, Burns' latest film, 'The Best You Can,' which stars Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Brittany O'Grady and Judd Hirsch follows two halves of an unlikely friendship between a security guard and a urologist whose chance encounter blooms into something deeper, as reported by Variety. Burns also opened up about her new movie and why she chose to work in it. "I loved the script, first and foremost. I love these kinds of films. I guess I would call it a dramedy. It was beautiful. I was moved by it," said Burns as quoted by People. The actress added that the all-star cast -- which also includes Judd Hirsch and Brittany O'Grady -- was also a major appeal.

‘Miss Congeniality' Actress Heather Burns Says She 'Would Jump At' Making A Threequel Of The Sandra Bullock Comedy
Though Heather Burns' character in 2000's Miss Congeniality has a little bit of trouble coming up with her idea of a perfect date ('April 25th … not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket'), the actress has a quick answer when it comes to whether or not she'd want to revisit the Sandra Bullock-led comedy film. In a new interview with People, Burns — who plays the unforgettable, kind-hearted and wide-eyed Cheryl/Miss 'Rhode Island' in the action-comedy — said she 'would jump at' the chance to do a threequel, following the 2005 Miss Congeniality: Armed and Fabulous.

That was one of the best experiences of my life,' she began. 'It was so much fun making both of those films.' The Two Weeks Notice and You've Got Mail actress added that she's stayed in contact with her costars from the aughts film, including Melissa De Sousa (who played Miss 'New York' and accompanied her to the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her upcoming film The Best You Can), as well as lead Bullock. 'I made lifelong friends working with Sandra Bullock,' Burns said. 'It's just a dream. So yes, a third [movie], I would jump at it. It would be so much fun.' Also starring Benjamin Bratt, William Shatner, Michael Cane and Candice Bergen, the Warner Bros. pic follows no-nonsense and antisocial FBI agent Gracie Hart (Bullock, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role), who is forced to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant to foil a bomb plot targeting the Miss United States competition. A makeover film very much of the era and fish-out-of-water narrative, the whip-smart and campy flick was a box office hit despite receiving lukewarm reviews from critics. Its followup made less of a financial and critical splash. Speaking to the film's endurance for the past 25 years, Bratt attributed its place in pop culture nostalgia to Bullock's performance and leadership as a producer on set: 'It really endures because of Sandy and what she did with it,' he told Good Morning America last month. 'Of course the writing is hilarious and the directing is brilliant, but Sandy is not afraid to make a fool of herself, to be silly and we all recognize the foibles that her character goes through in ourselves. It's fun to relate to someone like that.'Best of Deadline 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery 2025-26 Awards Season Calendar: Dates For Tonys, Emmys, Oscars & More
