Sandra Bullockis reflecting on an embarrassing moment that happened while filming a nude scene with palRyan Reynolds.
Bullock, 57, said on theAbout Last Night Podcast with Adam Raythat she felt a sense of “camaraderie and safety” filming the scene with Reynolds, 45 — and she remembered one silly moment between takes.
“Ryan and I have known each other since we were prepubescent. We go way, way, way back,” she said. “We had to do the naked scene that day and Anne Fletcher, our director who’s just incredible, she’s great. So, we had a closed set, which means no one’s allowed to be on there, just hair and makeup coming in to fluff and hide. Ryan and I have these flesh-colored things stuck to our privates, my hair is strategically over the nipples and Ryan’s little— not little, at all! It’s just whatever’s there, and I don’t know because I didn’t see it, I didn’t look!”
“Then,” said Bullock, “I hear Anne Fletcher from the darkness go, ‘Ryan, we can see your ball sack!’ I’m like, ‘Oh God!’ because you wanna look down but I’m like, ‘Don’t look down. Don’t look down.’ … Everyone in the darkness spun around to see if they could find a monitor. I was like, ‘Anne, there’s a way to present that information….’ "

“But in friendship, you just didn’t care; it wasn’t my business to look, it’s just there, and then Anne just bringing everyone’s focus to that area,” she recalled, adding that Reynolds took it in stride: “Ryan was just so cool. Unflappable. He is absolutely unflappable.”
The Unforgivableactress also explained why she agreed to do the scene.
“I was like, ‘I will do this naked scene only if I can be humiliated and funny,'” Bullock said. “You will not see me trying to attempt being sexy naked — in real life or onscreen. There’s just no point in it! It was for that reason, with a friend that you trusted comedically, and safety-wise I knew I was in the presence of safety.”
The Proposalalso starred Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Malin Akerman.
