Burt Reynolds

Recommended Posts

Call me crazy, but don't go long on this guy. They have been replaying his movies from the 80s a whole lot lately. Typically these guys are pretty well plugged in.

 

No inside knowledge here, just a gut feeling.

I don't doubt it a bit, and yeah I saw that "Smokey" was on the other day.

I love Burt. He's just a great guy and tells the best stories. My favorite is when he and Clint Eastwood got fired by a studio on the same day. They told Eastwood that his adams apple was too big and told Burt that he couldn't act. As they were walking out Burt told Clint, "Man. I really feel bad for you." Clint says, "Why do you feel bad for me. You got fired too." And Burt says, "Yeah, but I can learn to act but there's not a damned thing you can do about that adams apple."

Another is where he was talking about Deliverance. I forget exactly how it went but he was talking about how everyone got nominated for an Oscar. The actors. The screenplay. The movie. "Even the banjo song got nominated. Everything but me!"

I knew a guy that had a lot of property around Brandon, near Tampa and they were filming part of Smokey and the Bandit II there. So he went out to the property and sees Burt sitting in a chair. There's the Trans Am flying around in the field. So he and Burt are talking and the Trans Am comes sliding up to them and the director goes "Cut." Burt says, "Excuse me. I have to work." So Burt gets in the car and the director tells the cameras to roll. Burt gets out of the car and the director says. "Cut." Burt comes back and sits down and says "Now where we?"

He used to date a bar maid at a restaurant in Tampa. He would sit at the bar and hang out with her. I thought about going there and meeting him, but I didn't want to intrude like that. But people did and he was always nice and would just sit there and chat with them. Hollywood didn't seem to change him. He was just the same guy that played football for Florida State.

Was just on some odd talk show on cable. Definitely a Weekend at Bernie's situation.

 

Still in all, good to see him out and about.

I love him but did you see his interview recently where he said he was in love with Sally Field since she was 7. When she was 7 he would have been 18. Kinda little weird.

I saw an interview with one of the actors from Deliverance years ago on a talk show talking about the "squeal like a pig scene". The actor who played the hill billy who was raping Ned was a stunt man for the movie. So when it was time to film the scene everyone was on set to watch. The stunt man got so into the part that Burt couldn't watch anymore of it and tackled the guy, ending the scene. The director is like WTF Burt? Burt: It looks like he's having fun. It's to fawking realistic. Get somebody else!

Alpha male vs beta male. 

 

Marc Summers was about to take a dump in his pants.
