Despite the chemistry between Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in their 1999 movie Forces of Nature, make no mistake; the duo apparently couldn’t stand each other in real life. And Affleck seemingly gave a hint of this absurd collaboration with Bullock during an interview with EW. Spilling the beans on his baffling experience working with Bullock, the actor implied that his co-star was like an impenetrable vault.
Considering how Ben Affleck is known for his candidness, the actor found himself confounded by Sandra Bullock who turned out to be as enigmatic as a locked diary. Therefore, during the interview, Affleck couldn’t help but declare his frustration with his co-star who on one hand attempted to keep her private life behind closed doors, while on the other hand kept on rambling about absurd things.
Ben Affleck Hilariously Lamented About Sandra Bullock’s Intense Privacy
When it comes to Hollywood collaborations, few pairings have turned out to be as unexpected as the charmingly chaotic duo—Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock. While they shared the screen in a forgettable film Forces of Nature, that failed to impress audiences, despite their iconic chemistry—it seems their off-screen connection was just as elusive.
During an interview with EW, Ben Affleck thus spilled some tea about his co-star while expressing his frustration with Sandra Bullock. In a juicy blend of humor and disbelief, Affleck lamented about Bullock’s intense privacy, declaring that she never truly opened up to him about her life.
She never tells me anything. I ask her questions about her life, and she’s like, ‘My one male friend said this.’ No one has a name. I ask her, who are you going to dinner with? ‘Just some friends, you don’t know them.’ And, of course, I DO know them.
It’s no secret that Sandra Bullock has always been a private person. Keeping her personal life under wraps, the Oscar-winning actress has spent decades in Hollywood. But surprisingly, Ben Affleck found himself baffled by Bullock’s ability to keep a tight lid on her life. The way she kept her life private while dropping crumbs of information drove Affleck to distraction.
Ben Affleck Wanted Sandra Bullock to Come With a Personal Mute Button
However, after complaining about how difficult it was for him to interact with Sandra Bullock, Ben Affleck also expressed his frustration with his co-star’s habit of constant rambling. During the interview, after the Air actor claimed that their conversation left him on a never-ending quest for information, Affleck wished for Bullock to come with a mute button.
She’s just WAA WAA in your ear all the time. She’d make a great wife… for a deaf man.
After claiming to be frustrated with Sandra Bullock’s intense privacy, Ben Affleck didn’t hold back when he whimsically complained about how his co-star’s verbal enthusiasm could easily rival a marathon. But it wasn’t just the rambling that had Affleck in stitches; he also tossed in a cheeky remark about Bullock’s hypothetical future as a partner.
Don’t worry, the playful jabs weren’t one-sided. Even Sandra Bullock joked about the things she found frustrating about Ben Affleck. From his lack of punctuality to his forgetfulness, Bullock lamented about quite a few of Affleck’s habits. In the end, while the movie didn’t work in their favor, the duo’s lighthearted take on their collaboration surely impressed fans.
