Sandra Bullock has recalled the moment the late Betty White got hands-on with her while filming a wedding dress scene for the 2009 comedy The Proposal, joking that "only Betty gets to search."
The 62-year-old Practical Magic 2 star shared the memory on this week's episode of Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, recalling a scene in which White's character, Grandma Annie, has Bullock's character try on her old wedding gown.
"Well it's Betty's hands on my boob," Bullock bluntly said as a still from the film played on screen.
When Kelce told Bullock that White's line in the scene, "It's like an Easter egg hunt," was "outstanding," Bullock said the late star's comedy has stood the test of time.
"Hello! It still is. Some things never change. But only Betty gets to search," Bullock joked about the intimate moment.
Kylie Kelce's podcast interview
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce is a weekly podcast hosted by Kelce, a television personality married to former NFL center Jason Kelce, in which she sits down with celebrity guests for candid conversations. Bullock's appearance touched on her decades of work in film, including her long history alongside White.
In The Proposal, White played Grandma Annie, the grandmother of Ryan Reynolds' character, opposite Bullock's high-powered book editor. Bullock, an Academy Award winner for The Blind Side, is currently attached to Practical Magic 2, a sequel to her 1998 film alongside Nicole Kidman.
"Betty White is everything," Bullock continued. "I say 'is' because I know she's still floating around."
White died on December 31, 2021, when she was just three weeks away from her 100th birthday. She delighted audiences in hundreds of sitcoms, commercials and movies across an eight-decade career, perhaps best remembered for playing Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls.
A story from the set of The Proposal
Bullock also described how professional White was on set, recalling a day filming on a boat with White and Reynolds.
"We had a day when we were on this little boat, it was Ryan, Betty, and just me. I don't think anyone else was on it," she explained.
"I was freezing and they asked, 'Sandra, do you want a jacket?' …Yes, I had these heels and I'm freezing. I had this down coat and Ryan had this down coat. I sit down next to Betty and I'm like, 'Will you get Betty…?'"
"And they're like, 'Betty, do you want anything?' and she goes, 'No, I'm fine.' And I'm like, 'f***er.'"
Betty White's 'legendary potty mouth'
It seems Bullock and White share a love for using expletives. Last year, White's Bones co-star Tamara Taylor confirmed that the star was known for having a "legendary potty mouth."
White joined Bones as Dr. Beth Mayer in the show's 11th season in 2015, reprising the role two years later in season 12.
White holds the Guinness World Record for Longest TV Career for a Female Entertainer. Over her roughly 80-year show business career, she collected eight Emmy Awards and 21 nominations.
'She was incredible'
Bullock continued in her chat with Kelce: "She was the epitome of a human who lived her best life, found the best love, made lemonade out of absolutely everything, had timing that was unbelievable."
"The women of that time had the most incredible timing and to watch her work was like nothing. Don't even bother to say anything funny. Don't try. Just let it be Betty because she can own a room. She was incredible."
