Even the charismatic Ryan Reynolds found himself flustered during a s*x scene with co-star Olivia Wilde.

Opening up about the challenges he faced while filming intimate scenes for “The Change-Up” in 2011, Reynolds revealed the awkwardness he felt alongside Wilde.

Reynolds bravely recounted a moment on set where he was taken aback by Olivia Wilde’s playful choice of underwear, adorned with smiley faces.

The sight threw him off completely, causing him to forget not only his lines for that scene but also those from his entire career.

“In the scene, she’s sitting there and I take her top off and the bra off, and she has those panties on, but she’s drawn these adorable little smiley faces on them.

And I forget every line.

Not just from this movie, but from every other movie I’ve done,” Reynolds confessed.

Known for his ability to stay in character, Reynolds experienced a rare slip-up during this particular scene.

The actor, who once prided himself on never breaking character, found himself grappling with the embarrassing situation, turning what was supposed to be a smooth scene into a comedic mishap.

However, the film failed to resonate with audiences as expected, resulting in financial disappointment upon its release.

The film, although light-hearted and entertaining, failed to garner widespread acclaim, receiving a modest 25% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

While filming intimate scenes with Wilde proved challenging for Reynolds, the experience added a humorous anecdote to his repertoire in the entertainment industry.
