So much, in fact, that [Stephen Colbert](http://time.com/5472620/stephen-colbert-trump-bush-funeral/) decided to make up a whole new game to give her a chance to set the record straight. During a Monday appearance on _The Late Show_ to promote her new Netflix movie [_Birdbox_](http://time.com/5433710/bird-box-trailer-a-quiet-place/) — in which she stars alongside her _Ocean’s 8_ costar Sarah Paulson — Bullock weighed in on the difficulties of filming half of a movie blindfolded before playing a round of the true or false-esque game “Bullock or Bollocks.” “There’s been so much written about you over the years because you’re a big star, you’re an actual serious movie star. This is why I haven’t had a chance to talk to you yet, because you’re such a big deal,” Colbert explained. “As we were preparing for this interview, we found so many things out about you and I didn’t know if they were true or not. So I was hoping we could do a fact-check now with you.” Bullock went on to reveal —among other tidbits — that while she is allergic to horses, it wasn’t Robert Duvall who taught her how to salsa dance.
