Sandra Bullock heaped praise on her longtime best friend and Practical Magic co-star Nicole Kidman.

Ahead of the iconic 1998 film's first-ever 4K UHD release, the 61-year-old actress celebrated her 59-year-old Australian co-star's acclaimed performance as Gillian Owens.

In an exclusive clip shared with PEOPLE by Warner Bros. Entertainment, Bullock reflected on how closely Kidman resembles her iconic character.

"Gillian is really brave. I always wish I could be more like that in life. She knows what she is. She embraces what she is, and she fully leans into it," Bullock said.

Kidman continued, "I don't want to reject who I am and what I am, and I love being who I am. Gillian has her own barriers and walls, which is, 'Well, I'm just gonna have fun, and I know I'll never be able to experience love or have love, but that's okay.'"

Bullock went on to say that although the Babygirl star is portraying Owens, much of the character reflects who she is in real life.

"She's playing a character, but you are seeing a lot of who Nicole really is. She's free and wild and adventurous and is always doing something amazing," the Bird Box actress explained.

Practical Magic producer Denise Di Novi also offered her insights on the differences between Bullock's character, Sally Owens, and Kidman's Owens.

"Sally is very different in that she has always yearned for that deep, true soulmate love, and she found it, but she lost the man that she fell in love with, and people really related to her," Di Novi shared.

"Gillian celebrates magic. She feels that it's a gift and a blessing, and she respects it and has fun with it and is so connected to the spells and herbs. And Sally sees magic as being the reason that her heart has been broken. She's been shunned by the people in the town and excluded. Magic is not a part of her life," she added.

The producer also praised the natural friendship Bullock and Kidman share on set.

"They have that relationship naturally on set. They're so unique and yet, so close, and so intertwined," she noted.

When will Practical Magic release on 4K Ultra HD?
