In 2011, Ryan Reynolds went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to talk about his film, The Change-Up and naturally the conversation drifted toward his sex scene with Olivia Wilde. "So, in the scene, she's sitting there and I take her top off and the bra off, and she has those pasties on, but she's drawn these adorable little smiley faces on them," Reynolds said. "And I forget every line in the scene. Not just from this movie but from every other movie ever done... She takes my hands and puts them on her breasts. And I'm trying not to look at her like a 14-year-old boy that just won the lady lottery. I take my hands away and I look down at my hands and there's two frickin' smiley faces on them and I have no idea what to do. The scene is over now. And I reflexively, like an idiot, just put my hands right back on her breasts. And I think I'm doing it to cover them up, but I'm realizing now that it's a very fine line between chivalry and, you know, workplace sexual assault."
