Herec mal hrať v Tarantinovom filme Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Legenda a hollywoodska ikona, Burt Reynolds, zomrel dnes vo veku 82 rokov na zástavu srdca v nemocnici Jupiter Medical na Floride.
Filmová hviezda sa preslávila najmä v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia počinmi, ako Vyslobodenie (1972), Poliš a bandita (1977) či The Longest Yard (1974).
Svoju prvú a jedinú oscarovú nomináciu obdržal v kategórii najlepší herec vo vedľajšej úlohe za snímku Paula Thomasa Andersona, Boogie Nights (1997).
Sex symbol 70. rokov v posledných rokoch života bojoval so zdravotnými problémami, ako napríklad s chrípkou či častou dehydratáciou. Dnes, 6. septembra 2018 skonal na následky zlyhania srdca.
Sústrasť vyjadrili mnohé svetové celebrity, ako Edgar Wright či Arnold Schwarzennegger.
R.I.P. Burt Reynolds, underrated as a dramatic actor (Deliverance), underrated as a director (Sharkey's Machine), but also a rare movie star that seemed to be just having an absolute ball onscreen.

Burt Reynolds was one of my heroes. He was a trailblazer. He showed the way to transition from being an athlete to being the highest paid actor, and he always inspired me. He also had a great sense of humor - check out his Tonight Show clips. My thoughts are with his family.
