While the actress may have had a slight difficulty remaining in character, she said theJohn Wickactor remained completely dedicated to preserving her dignity.
“My dress sort of kept flying up — I said, ‘Whatever you do, just keep my dress down.’ The whole stunt he just made sure of my dress,” she said. “He was very sweet.”
When DeGeneres asked if the two ever got together, Bullock said, “Never dated him.”
“There’s just something about me that I guess he didn’t like!” she joked, as the host added, “He was probably intimated.”
Bullock disagreed. “Not at all. There’s nothing to intimidate,” she said. “But I think we’re probably friends for that long because we didn’t [date].”
