Why Ryan Reynolds perfected kissing technique for films

July 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, July 7 (ANI): Actor Ryan Reynolds has said that he mastered the technique of kissing to avoid making filmgoers turn away in disgust.

The ‘Proposal’ star, who shares the frame with the pal Sandra Bullock in the film, revealed that a disastrous moment early in his career made him realise the importance of kissing convincingly.

“It is strange (kissing a friend). A kissing scene in a movie has to be very elegant I think. You know, you don’t want to go at each other like a couple of farm animals. You want to make it nice and palatable for an audience,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

“Early in my career I worked with an actress and she kind of went for it a little bit too much. I remember that, and we had to save it for the end… At the end of the scene I was standing in her stomach… and I was a little uncomfortable with that, so that ruined our chemistry. But Sandy and I, we just have this kind of firework thing that we’re really grateful we have,” he added. (ANI)

Sandra Bullock feared shooting nude scene with pal Ryan Reynolds

July 5, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, July 5 (ANI): Sandra Bullock says that her nude scene with Hollywood pal Ryan Reynolds in ‘The Proposal’ could destroy their close friendship.

The two of them have known each other for nine years, and even enjoyed holidays together with Bullock’s husband Jesse James and the ‘Wolverine’ star’s wife Scarlett Johansson.nd the ‘Speed’ star’s friendship with Reynolds was put to test when they had to bare all in a sex scene for their new movie.

While the filming for the scene lasted three days, Bullock has claimed that working together with such a close friend helped her make it more convincing.

“You know, when I read it, it read hilariously… we knew we had to be true to it, we didn’t pretend to shoot naked because, like, when you see someone get out of a bed with a sheet… you go ‘it’s a sheet!’ So we knew that in order for it to be truly funny we had to do it naked and it was three days of stunts – it was virtually naked stunt work,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

She added: “But I did it with a friend and he was very protective over me, and I of him, and thankfully our friendship left stronger and not destroyed… as it could have been.” (ANI)

Ryan Reynolds wears see-through underwear in ‘The Proposal’ sex scene

July 3, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Washington, July 3 (ANI): Ryan Reynolds wore cellophane underwear while filming a sex scene with co-star Sandra Bullock for a new movie.

The actor plays PA Andrew Paxton in ‘The Proposal’, which revolves around an assistant whose boss forces him to marry her to ensure she isn’t deported.

He asserts that he had no problem donning the transparent garment as he thinks he looked good in it.

When asked whether a scene in which he and co-star Sandra Bullock appear naked was “sexy”, he said: “I don’t know what was unsexy about it. I mean I was furnished with cellophane underwear that day. That’s a beautiful sight. A nice see through, cellophane Speedo.”

Sandra insists she agreed to strip off for the movie as the scene, which sees the pair accidentally bump into each other while both are nude, was funny rather than romantic.

“I’ve done those scenes that are supposed to be sexy and they’re just not,” Contactmusic quoted her as having told BANG Showbiz.

“The full naked body, especially the men, and I hate to say it, a full frontal is not that funny or sexy. But you hide a little something between us men and women and it becomes sexy, it’s sexier,” she added. (ANI)

Sandra Bullock grateful her “jiggling” butt was cut from ‘The Proposal’

June 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Washington, June 19 (ANI): Sandra Bullock is glad that her “jiggling” butt has been edited out from a nude scene in new movie, ‘The Proposal’.

The actress was bothered about unflattering areas of her body being revealed in a scene where her co-star Ryan Reynolds smacks her bare back.

“I was really worried about my butt jiggling when contact was made. Luckily, the director was a fellow female and knew just how to cut the scene before the ripple effect happened. I am very grateful,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

The beauty has never been apprehensive of a bold scene- while filming the first nude scene in her career a strategically placed cover-up had fallen away, but that did not embarrass her.

Recollecting the incident, she said: “Shooting it was odd. There are things stuck to areas that generally you don’t have things stuck to. I mean, you have things covering your body, but not stuck to it. And then they got unstuck, and oddly we didn’t care because we were so tired.” (ANI)

Ryan Reynolds still buzzing over Samuel L. Jackson’s ‘beehive’ wedding gift

June 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Washington, June 19 (ANI): Film and TV star Ryan Reynolds is still buzzing over a beehive full of the singing insects that he got as a wedding gift from Samuel L. Jackson last year.

The actor had asked celebrity guests to forgo showering them with wedding gifts when he married Hollywood siren Scarlett Johansson in a remote location just outside of his native Vancouver, Canada, in September last year.

He has revealed that he was shocked to find a box of bees left in his backyard.

“Someone came to my door and said, ‘I have a gift for you in my trunk from Samuel L. Jackson.’ He comes back from the trunk and it’s humming an insane degree. And he tells me, ‘Mr. Jackson would like you to have this beehive.’ So he hands me a couple of beekeeping outfits and a lifetime subscription to the Beekeepers Journal. And the next thing I know, I’m making honey,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Reynolds, however, now feels that Jackson has provided him with an excellent way to scare away unwanted visitors.

“It’s actually a great security system. Some people are afraid of security systems, some people afraid of guard dogs, but I don’t know anyone who’s not afraid of swarms of bees,” he says. (ANI)
