In a conversation surrounding his new Netflix rom-com ‘Find Me Falling,’ the actor and musician, Harry Connick reflects on his decades-long bond with Bullock.

26 years after the pair played lovers in Hope Floats, Connick, 56, tells PEOPLE that he and Bullock, 59, “still keep in touch” — and that his favorite memory from making the romantic drama was “just meeting Sandy, getting to know her.”

“She’s just amazing,” says the actor, who can next be seen as a brooding rock star in the Netflix romantic comedy Find Me Falling, streaming Friday, July 19.

Connick is also grateful for Bullock’s friendship with his wife of 30 years, Jill Goodacre Connick, and their three daughters: Georgia, 28, Kate, 26, and Charlotte, 22.

“She’s a very special person,” he continues of Bullock. “I loved doing that movie with her and I loved everything about it, but coming away from that with her as a friend was definitely my favorite part.”
