The pair were completely starkers in one hilarious scene in The Proposal, but Bullock reckons it was more awkward than arousing.
To be fair, smashing your naked body into your co-star who also doesn’t have a stitch on doesn’t sound that appealing in the cold light of day, does it? In the 2009 romcom, Bullock starred as Margaret Tate, the tough-talking boss of a book publishing company who originally hails from Canada.
He agrees to her plot on the condition that he gets a promotion, before the pair head off to his hometown in Alaska to get his parents’ ‘approval’ for the fake marriage.
Sparks start to fly between the pair during the trip while they are pretending to be in love – but before anything happens between them, they had quite a few awkward moments.
The most prominent one being when Margaret steps out of the shower and struggles to find a towel…only to run into an equally naked Andrew, who has just stripped off after going for a run. When filming this humorous moment, Bullock’s small modesty cover-ups became ‘unstuck’, while Reynolds ended up accidentally showing off his ballsack to everyone on set.
Those tidbits of behind-the-scenes knowledge at least make Bullock’s comments about the scene being the complete opposite of sexy a bit more understandable. The Speed star, 60, spoke about it during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2013 alongside Samuel L Jackson and Nick Frost.
