So what do Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock think of their sizzling on-screen romance in Forces of Nature? BeatBoxBetty got to ask them that question and more in her special interview. Read on for the scoop!


BBB: What were your favorite scenes in the movie?
Bullock: I liked when we argued in the room. I really like arguing and that monologue described me to a tee. Then my character's comeback was great. I really liked that scene.

Affleck: I liked the plane crash actually, because I wanted to see if I'd go as "over the top" as I could possibly go. Like if your greatest fear actually came true, you'd reach a level of panic that you've never known before. And I thought that was pretty funny. And I like Sandy in the movie. I don't like to watch myself very much.

BBB: Hmmm, since he calls you this, I guess I can too…So Sandy, what was it like kissing Ben?{Ben jumps in}
Affleck: Like all her dreams came true in one shining moment!

Bullock: I've never had a kiss like I had from Ben. You can take that anyway you want...[laughs].

BBB: In the film, there's a great moment you both have in a Geo with a guy named Vic. Can you tell us a little bit about that scene?
Bullock: Oh Vic. I think that was our first day of filming. We were stuck in the Geo and it must've been at least 110 degrees - plus the doors were locked and we had to keep the air conditioning off [for filming]. As soon as the director said "action" we would just drip. It was miserable.

Affleck: And the actor who played Vic had one line, "I put the wind beneath her ass." He kept blowing the line saying, "I put the wind between her ass!" We were like, come on Vic get it right! But it happens to everybody.

BBB: Without giving too much away, the movie takes an interesting turn and things don't go the way you think they would go with the two of you. Wasn't it risky to switch things up so?
Bullock: It's risky and jolting at first. But after you leave, had it been any other way, you would've lost respect for both parties.

BBB: Ben, in your personal life [after splitting up with Gwyneth Paltrow] people must have told you that you were making a big mistake. Are there any similarities from your real life to that of Forces of Nature?
Affleck: Anytime you do a movie you bring some of your own experiences - but it's never in such a literal way. I've been through this exact scenario that my character's going through. I read it a couple of years ago...and yes, I brought some of my own experiences from what I was going through into my role...

Bullock: That question was pretty well avoided! Wasn't it?

BBB: Yes - very well avoided! Sandy, in the movie, you're sporting a wicked tattoo. Is it real?
Bullock: No. But I had one designed that was awesome and was going to go on the small of my back. I was this close to getting it done...and Ben was like, "come on let's go get it!" I just kept thinking - okay, if I get pregnant and it starts sliding it's gonna end up on the back of my knee!

BBB: So no tattoos on you, huh?

Bullock: Not yet. I almost got my belly button pierced and almost pierced my nose like twice. I keep on going in that direction...but nothing yet. But the one in the movie was awesome...thanks for noticing!

BBB: Uh duh, with a body like yours, it was hard not to! I think I'll go run around the block a zillion times. Well before I do that, thanks to both of you for Trippin' with us. And good luck with those wacky Forces of Nature!

Bullock, Affleck: Thank you, Betty!
