RIP Burt Reynolds

I can remember watching him a ton growing up, Deliverance, The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Cannonball Run, Boogie Nights and on and on........

RIP Burt. Smokey and the Bandit started my love for those old Trans Am's.

He came out as gay this year as well.

RIP Burt.

-heard a strange and somewhat funny question from one of the youngbloods at work today.

He asked another staff: "Is Burt Reynolds the father of actor Ryan Reynolds?"

I think that guy did not exist during the prime of Burt Reynold's career.

Oh no, not Burt.

He was one of my favorite actors. Smokey, Gator, Cannonball, Longest Yard (original and the remake), Archer..... This is actually very sad.

Srsly, get the fuck out of here with those lies. Lonny Anderson, Sally Field, Dinah Shore, Tammy Wynett, Doris Day, Mamie van fucking Doran!
The man has railed more 10's than a Saudi Prince.

RIP Burt.

Smokey and the Bandit was one of my favourite movies as a kid

And Boogie Nights is literally my favourite movie of all time.

RIP

I'm one those who's too young to know who Burt is
all I know is Archer couldn't stop talking about him (and he was featured frequently) to the point where I did not bother looking him up cause it got that annoying
