The acting duo shared the screen in 2010 in an action thriller in which they raised the temperature by sharing a bawdy scene.
Ben Affleck is one of the best-known actors today. The Oscar winner has an extensive filmography, in which he has played a large number of characters.
In 2010, Affleck directed and starred in the film The Town, based on Chuck Hogan's 2004 novel Prince of Thieves. The film revolves around Doug MacRay (Affleck), an experienced thief who plans a major robbery with his gang, while he is having an affair with the bank manager who is about to rob.
In addition to Affleck, this action thriller features a great cast including Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Titus Welliver, Pete Postlethwaite, Chris Cooper, and Blake Lively.
Dangerous Attraction took all the praise for the script and the great performances of the cast. Action, suspense, and tension are some of the elements that run through the story, but also some moments of intimacy between some of the protagonists.
Ben Affleck and Blake Lively shared several scenes in this movie, including some risqué moments. And although these sequences fit perfectly into the development of the plot, it was not so perfect when shooting them.
Lively plays Krista, the ex-girlfriend of Doug, Affleck's character. And at one point in the movie, both have a bawdy scene. However, what surprised the actress the most was that she had to film said scene on the first day of filming.
"It was a good way to break the ice," Blake joked in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 2010. Jokingly, Lively couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and surprised that this scene was the first thing her characters did. They had to face the cameras.
Blake, who was 22 years old at the time, had no choice but to step into the character's shoes and jump into action alongside Affleck. Also, far from being a romantic moment between the characters, the intention was to generate something completely opposite, since Krista and Doug no longer had feelings for each other.
The final result was something totally neat and professional, at least from Affleck's mouth, who had words of praise for her co-star, whom he pointed out as a very professional and mature actress, even for her age.
