"I think of how sweet Keanu Reeves was and how handsome he was," the actress said of filming.
"It was hard for me to like, really be serious," she added. "Like, he would look at me and I'd be like [giggling]. And I'd have to try, you know, [to be serious]."
Reeves jokingly proposed a Speed sequel with Bullock in an interview with The Big Ticket podcast this week. Reeves and Bullock played Jack Traven and Annie Porter in the movie.
"We'll be 65!" Reeves said. "I'm driving [or] Annie's driving because I don't remember where I am."
