Sandra Bullock Says Keanu Reeves Saved Her from a Major Wardrobe Mishap on Camera

Leave it to Keanu Reeves to save the day—both on- and off-screen.

This week, Sandra Bullock attended a special 30th-anniversary screening of Speed with her former co-star, Reeves, and explained how he saved her from having a Marilyn Monroe moment during one of the stunts on set. She recalled the intense scene where she and Reeves had to quickly evacuate a moving, bomb-rigged bus by using a floor hatch—all while wearing a dress.

Per Entertainment Weekly, she said, "I had this dress that was very light and I had a bodysuit underneath, and when we started rehearsing I noticed that the velocity of air would shoot the skirt over my head. So Keanu's job for me, which was the most important thing, was to [place his] hand in a way where the skirt doesn't fly over my head."

Bullock added, "Not only did he have to do the stunt [and] to keep me safe, he had to keep my integrity intact, keeping things that didn't need to be seen on a 17-foot screen."

Naturally, Reeves delivered a captivating performance and handled everything like a pro—so much so that one would never guess he was trying to prevent a wardrobe mishap. Also, director Jan de Bont, who joined both actors for the screening, revealed that Reeves and Bullock's solid chemistry played a big role in the movie's success.
