Academy Award-winning actress, Sandra Bullock, and Hail, Ceaser! actor, Channing Tatum shares an unforgettable on-set story from their hit, action-adventure comedy. During the filming of Nee Brothers-directed, The Lost City, Sandra Bullock ended up embarrassing Tatum whilst trying to distract herself amid his leeches-filled n*de scene.
Sandra Bullock Spent Some With Channing Tatum’s Leeches-Glued B*tt
During her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Sandra Bullock shared a hilarious story from the set of The Lost City (2022). The actress, who plays best-selling yet depressed romance novelist, Loretta Sage in the movie, went on to narrate a nude scene with Channing Tatum, who starred as her novel’s cover model, Alan Caparison.
Referring to the “laugh-out-loud NSFW scene“ where Tatum (who also plays Dash McMahon, the hero in Sage’s book series) had leeches stuck to his backside, Bullock described the “damage inspection” as:
“Full-on, face-to-face, with the landscape. “I had to spend some time down there. Just making sure uh, no leeches. I had a lot to say to it. We can only imagine!”
Channing, on the other hand, joked that “walking to set with a bunch of leeches super-glued to my b*tt” and being like “Okay, I’m gonna be butt-naked, my name’s Chan today,” felt weird. Not only this, the actor was super uncomfortable when Bullock’s eyes remained stuck down there. Just to be clear, those were rubber leeches!
Channing Tatum Worked Hard, Sandra Bullock Enjoyed The View
During the same scene, Sandra Bullock was required to inspect Tatum’s cr*tch, and well, she had an eagle’s eye. Recalling the moment, the actress expressed that one has to really like the person and feels safe around them, doing such scenes. She added:
“There was no weirdness. You’d think there would be weirdness, but because he was so chill about it, he dropped everything and I spoke to it.”
Tatum wasn’t as chill as Bulluck and joked back, “It’s a hell of a day two, let me just say that!” Bullock didn’t stop embarrassing her co-star and narrated how he was “na*ed as a jaybird”. Bullock’s wordplay on her co-star’s body was as humorous as her performance in the movie.
The Hangmen actress also revealed that Tatum “worked hard for a comedic moment that he knew need to look and be a certain way.” She expressed that he would wake up at 4 in the morning and go for a swim in the ocean, just to flaunt that perfect body for the model’s role, while she enjoyed the view. The movie was a major success, grossing over $190 million worldwide against a $68 million budget.
The Lost City is streaming on Prime Video.
