In the case of Olivia Wilde in The Change-Up, it wasn't merely that co-star Ryan Reynolds was so beset by the actress' beauty that he got a little tongue-tied - he was left speechless by an especially intimate sex scene.

On The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Reynolds confessed that he ended up forgetting his lines while performing the scene, in part due to the nature of the scene - having a near-nude Wilde straddling him, for one - and additionally because she played a little practical joke on him.

Reynolds said:

"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... And I forget every line in the scene - not just from this movie but from every other movie I've done."

A little levity while filming something as tricky and challenging as a sex scene is probably a good thing, though in Reynolds' case it also threw him totally off his game.
