Ryan Reynolds has shared a cheeky throwback to his 2009 rom-com The Proposal in honour of Sandra Bullock’s birthday.
In the film, Reynolds plays an assistant who is bribed into marrying his high-strung boss (Bullock) so she doesn’t get deported to Canada.
It also features a memorable scene in which the two characters crash into each other while they’re both stark naked and, naturally, Reynolds has used it to celebrate Bullock’s 59th birthday.
The Deadpool actor shared the clip on Instagram, captioning it: “Happy birthday to the inimitable and stunning Sandra Bullock.
“For your birthday this year, I got us both intimacy coordinators. And an HR department. And clothing?”
Bullock opened up about the hilarious scene on the About Last Night podcast in 2021, recalling how the only people allowed on set were hair and makeup, who were on hand 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, didn’t look!”, she continued.
Bullock added: “We couldn’t really move. Then I hear [director] Anne Fletcher from the darkness go, ‘Ryan, we can see your ball sack!’ I’m like, ‘Oh God!’ because you want to look down but I’m like, ‘Don’t look down. Don’t look down’. And you’re like, ‘Should I help? No. Not helping’.”
The Oscar winner was last seen on the big screen last year in action-comedies The Lost City and Bullet Train.
Ahead of the former film’s release, Bullock revealed she would be taking a break from acting, though she didn’t clarify how long the hiatus will last.
