Sandra Bullock Talks About Nude Scene With Ryan Reynolds

When ‘The Proposal’ first came out, people loved the on-screen chemistry that the two shared on-screen that it seemed almost effortless.

Yet in this interview, Sandra Bullock shares her experiences of the more intimate scenes she had to do with Ryan Reynolds.

One scene, in particular, was hilariously awkward. The two were in the nude and stuck in an awkward push/pull scenario.

“Ryan and I have known each other since we were prepubescent. We go way, way, way back,

“We had to do the naked scene that day and... 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-coloured 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!”

To ensure that everything was on the up and up on set, wardrobe had made sure that his bits were “stuck wherever it needed to be stuck.”

She further explained that the scene was not the most comfortable to shoot with them being stuck in awkward positions between takes.

“When they'd say cut, we couldn't really move."

“He was on his back with his knees up, and I'm on the floor just sort of resting on his knees, just waiting, and you don't wanna look and we couldn't really move,”

One awkward faux pas however made the entirely thing hilariously more awkward when the director screamed out instructions.

“Then, 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…’”

Their decades old friendship however ensured that the two got through the scene smoothly.

“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,”.

Ryan Reynolds on the other hand played it cool. “He is unflappable,” she said.

Bullock said that the only reason she did a nude scene in the first place was because it was meant to be funny and not sexy.

“I was like, ‘I will do this naked scene only if I can be humiliated and funny.’ 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.”

We’re glad that she felt safe and was able to make the hilariously awkward scene.
