In celebration of Sandra Bullock's 59th birthday, Ryan Reynolds commemorated the actress's inaugural nude scene from the 2009 film "The Proposal." This comedic and embarrassing moment, where both stars inadvertently collide in the nude, is something Bullock later confessed to agreeing to because it was intended to be "humiliating and funny."
"Happy Birthday to the inimitable and stunning Sandra Bullock! For your birthday this year, I got us both intimacy coordinators," Reynolds joked on Instagram. "And an HR department. And clothing?"

Bullock looked back on the experience of shooting that scene, expressing a sense of security when working alongside Reynolds.
"Ryan and I have known each other since we were prepubescent. We go way, way, way back," she said during a podcast appearance in 2021. "We had to do the naked scene that day and Anne Fletcher, our director who's just incredible, she's great."
"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," Bullock said. "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!"
Despite the fact that both actors' intimate areas were concealed during the scene, Bullock reminisced about an instance where events didn't unfold as anticipated.
"When they'd say cut, we couldn't really move," Bullock explained. "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."
"Then, I hear Anne Fletcher from the darkness go, 'Ryan, we can see your ballsack!' 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," according to Bullock. "I was like, 'Anne, there's a way to present that information....'"
The star of "Miss Congeniality" consented to appear nude in the scene only on the condition that it would be both "humiliating 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!" she explained. "It was for that reason, with a friend that you trusted comedically, and safety-wise, I knew I was in the presence of safety."
