Sandra Bullock had to lay down some ground rules with her co-star Ryan Reynolds when filming a sex scene together – but things quickly became ‘unstuck’ regardless.
Sandra starred opposite the Wrexham FC owner in 2009 rom-com The Proposal. Her character Margaret was a pushy boss to Ryan’s Andrew – her young assistant.
The pair were forced to marry and fake a relationship for a green card when Margaret faced being deported to Canada, but, as things go in rom-coms, quickly fell in love for real.

Sandra confessed that things became “unstuck”, explaining: “You have things covering up your essential parts but they get unstuck.
“And, oddly enough, we didn’t care because we were so tired. Ann was like, ‘Sandra, your vagina is hanging out. Cover it up.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, sorry, sorry.’
“And the crew would be like, ‘Jeez, her nipple is showing.’ They weren’t titillated, they were unhappy because they knew we had to retake the shot.
“They’re like, ‘We want to go to lunch. Cover the nip.’ So that’s pretty much how the day went.”
She also told podcast host Adam Ray: “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!”
Giggling: “I hear [director] 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.
“Ryan was just so cool. Unflappable. He is absolutely unflappable.”

The blunders are despite Sandra laying down some rules for the romp before filming.
On the About Last Night podcast, Sandra said she agreed to the scene as long as it was to get a laugh from the audience, rather than be seriously saucy.
She also needed to do it with a fellow actor she felt comfortable around – and Ryan fit the bill.
She said: “Ryan and I have known each other since we were prepubescent.
“We go way, way, way back. 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 on-screen.”
The Oscar-winner added: “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.”
