Sandra Bullock Recalls Nude Scene Mishap With Ryan Reynolds On The Proposal

Sandra Bullock reveals a wild behind-the-scenes story from the set of the 2009 romantic comedy, The Proposal, during a nude scene with Ryan Reynolds.

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds had an awkward moment on the set of The Proposal during their nude scene. The 2009 romantic comedy, which also starred Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, and Craig T. Nelson, centers on Bullock playing a Canadian editor-in-chief who faces deportation and therefore persuades her assistant to become her fiancé. The movie became a box-office success and earned Bullock a Golden Globe nomination, while many praised her on-screen chemistry with Reynolds.

Both Bullock and Reynolds have had great successes in their careers, with Bullock winning the Oscar for The Blind Side as Leigh Anne Tuohy and starring in major blockbusters such as Miss Congeniality, Gravity, Ocean’s 8, and Bird Box. She is set to star in The Lost City and Bullet Train, both expecting to be released in April 2022. Reynolds is best known for playing the title character in the Deadpool franchise, as well as The Croods franchise and Green Lantern, and recently starred in the science-fiction action comedy, Free Guy.

Now, E! Online has brought word that Bullock, in an interview on About Last Night Podcast with Adam Ray, disclosed a tricky situation that happened during the filming of the scene in The Proposal, in which her and Reynolds were both nude. The scene shown in the movie had their characters accidentally colliding together, both naked, and falling down to the floor. Bullock then described the events that happened in between takes in her statement below:

“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!…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…I hear [director] Anne Fletcher from the darkness go, ‘Ryan, we can see your ball sac!’ 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….'”

Bullock concluded that since she and Reynolds have known each other for a long time, the moment on set of was laughed off and that ultimately, the experience was very professional. On a set where there is a nude or a sex scene that has actors being in close proximity with each other with only the bare minimum covering their private areas, it can lead to some awkward and uncomfortable moments on set, especially if there inadvertently happens to be some exposure. Many productions now employ an intimacy coordinator on set whenever called for to ensure the comfort of the actors in the scene.

It is good that Bullock can take what could have been an uncomfortable situation on The Proposal and turn it into something lighthearted, as she and Reynolds have been working in the business for many years. It is definitely very important to communicate and be aware of the level of comfort when coordinating vulnerable and intimate scenes. Bullock can now be seen in The Unforgivable on Netflix, which she also produced, and fans of both her and Reynolds can look forward to many more of their future projects.
