She winced to the reporter: "Oh, you saw?" before adding: "Isn't it stunning? It's awful."During the unearthed clip, she had admitted that auditioning for the role had been an equally tactile experience."He touched you a lot in the audition? Are you serious?" an incredulous Hall quizzed her.The blushing actress shot back: "Yeah, I swear.The first thing he did was take my shirt out of my pants and start tickling my stomach."While she was speaking, co-star Bill was looking down at her body and stroking her arm before pulling her left strap down.Without skipping a beat, she smilingly pulled it back up again, while the TV host asked: "Is this a story you wanna tell? Are you sure?""What we have is so strong," Bill said, while nuzzling his face into her shoulder.He added that he hadn't known that she was right for the part straight away on the first audition."How was I to know? Baby, let me slide on you," he continued, to peals of laughter from the audience."When I get there, he's got this giant massage thing," Geena elaborated, while her co-star clarified: "It's called The Thumper."At that point, she elbowed her co-star in the ribs, exclaiming: "Excuse me!", suggesting that the on-screen touching, which is not shown fully by the camera at that second, had become too intimate."I thought I was gonna be tough and there's no way in hell I'm gonna let him touch me with this thing," she continued."Cut to five minutes later and I'm lying on the couch with this thing on my back," Geena explained.Later, during a discussion about her acting skills, Bill told the audience: "Then we won the Oscar, so it looked legitimate having her in the movie," to the sound of more laughter.Reliving the experience to i years on, Geena explained that
