The Real Reason You Don't Hear From Burt Reynolds Anymore

- In the '60s and the '70s, Burt Reynolds was perhaps the epitome of masculinity in Hollywood. The mustached maestro of Hollywood gained prominence in the western drama series Gunsmoke in the '60s and he rose to stardom in the '70 with movies like Deliverance, White Lightning, The Longest Yard, and Smokey and the Bandit.
But in the '80s, Reynolds experienced a career decline and was known for turning down the role of astronaut Garrett Breedlove in Terms of Endearment, for which Jack Nicholson won an Academy Award.
Even though Reynolds revived his career with 1997’s Boogie Nights, the following decade has seen him gradually fade away from the spotlight. Here’s the real reason you don’t hear from Burt Reynolds anymore.

What other actors would you like to see featured next?
None.
Go the fuck away.
Donald Trump
Because ageism is the new racism. 😕😕😕😕😕😕😠😠😠😠😠💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Definitely continue this great series, hey why don't we hear more from Kirk Douglas these days? Why isn't anybody casting him in anything anymore???
@Looper - I'd like to see plenty as long as they aren't as negative as this one...
Burt Reynolds made his mark in the movies,and no one can ever take that away from him.
Rip Burt Reynolds
RIP Burt what a guy !! Loved your work for 40 years
as a guest on Password, the word was "money" so Burt gave the contestant ( a black guy) the clue "dough" to which the black guy responded "knob". Burt busted out laughing so hard he fell off his chair and on to the floor. They had to cut away to a commercial. One of the funniest moments on TV.
One of my favorite actors ever.
The man was the #1 Box Office draw for 5 consecutive years. No one else had ever done that before. Deserves a mention.
You can put him down if you want, but he is one of the nicest "Big Stars" I have ever met. He's a great guy.
You got to meet him!?
Those who made this video try to play down the accomplishments of Burt Reynolds, as if he were just a forgettable, "B" actor or something, however, Reynolds was extremely popular in his day. He was as popular as an actor could be in his time and in his prime and the reason we do not hear more from Reynolds today, is because the man is 82 years old, for Christ's sake. What are most people doing at 82 years old ? They are at home drinking a cup of coffee and staying the hell away from people.
unfortunately hes' gone now. so sad.
You couldn't have said it better. I agree 1000%. Rest in peace Burt.
How weird you wrote this 3 weeks before his death
Thanks for all the great movies in the memories Bert awesome one hell of an actor
I liked Burt in Best Friends with Goldie Hawn also and I have the DVD The Man who loved Women with Julie Andrews and Kim Basinger. I liked a lot of his films! Glad he is still around at his age.
Loved Best Friends! Everytime my glasses get covered in steam, I quote that movie.
I loved Hooper too. Neither one of those movies are shown anymore.
dudes a legend this video doesn't do him justice
Burt will always go down as one of my favorite actors just like Clint. I saw all their movies as a young kid in the theaters. Love them all. I wanted to be a stunt man as a kid after seeing Hooper!
Burt gave us good entertainment, thanks Burt you should have no regrets.
Burt was a great stuntman. Someone should make a video showing some of his great stunt work. What really ruined his career was too many wigs, women and somebody told him he was a comedian. Hollywood used him up. My favorites were Navajo Joe, Deliverance and Sharkey's Machine. Bless his heart.
Legend. R.I.P Bruce.
He is still awesome to me.
It doesnt matter what some people may think about Mr. Reynolds - to me, he is one of the coolest guys in filmbiz.

Burt is an icon and a movie legend!
R.I.P. Burt.
I will never forget the generosity Mr. Reynolds extended to me when he allowed me to stage one of my scenes in his class and provide an honest critique. He is a true gentleman and one who gives back to his community.
Burt was a hero to my friends and I back in the 70's when we were teenagers. I'm glad to hear he's still finding work in front of the camera. Also, apparently IN video games too! Not bad for an 80 year old.
He was the man back then.
Even if he did nothing else, Deliverance gave him one of the greatest movie parts in history.
BigBadJerry Rogers ...DELIVERANCE is a rough movie to watch....but it is a good movie. The best of Burt Reynolds.
But pretty fucked up for a broke has-been 80-year-old.
He was the toast of the town back then...now he's just toast...
Burt fucking Reynolds is a legend!!!
A living legend.
Johan Lebbing always will be!
l agree delon and would have to a better bond than the actors that came after Sean Connery! What an elegant man .
are you kidding? sir roger moore came after connery, the best bond ever!!!!! nobody could have done it better...
crusty ringpimple roger Moore was a nice amiable chap but come on Georgia Laznby was a better Bond than him. Burt, I am afraid would have not made a good bond. Like he said at the time , bond has to be British.
No matter what profession, everybody has their time and then exits the stage! It's the way life goes!
r u nuts that's Burt Reynolds. ....growing up in the 70s & 80s I remember how big he was and is........he's a legend .
Sage phillip AMEN to that Sage Phillip!
Rest in peace, Burt Reynolds! We'll never forget you, as long as we're alive!
I just saw Smokey and the Bandit in the theater a few weeks ago (40th anniversary re-release). Thanks for putting this together. He is about the REALEST actor out there. As in, a real person. Thank goodness for actors like him.
He's as real as his hair
I'll never forget that laugh of his . loved him in Gator.
I love you Burt Reynolds, and I always will...
East bound and down. the bandit is a legend. big part of my childhood.
He' s always Bandit, will Stay forever Gator!
A Hero of my youth.
Rest In Peace Burt, regardless of what this video displays, You are and will always be loved and missed. You were a great actor, voice and unforgettable laugh.
Hollywood Stuntman Jim Burk was my husband and he was the first Stuntman that Hal Needham actually came to the Hospital where Jim was admitted in L.A. after returning early from Durango Mexico Location for Hepatitis B and Hal asked Jim if he'd leave SAMP to join 'Stunts Unlimited'. Hal looked at me and asked, 'Would you mind Sandi?' and I laughed and said, 'Not at all. I don't do Stunts.' lol A SUPER GROUP was about to come together in Hollywood! Burt Reynolds was a close friend with Hal, Jim, Alan Gibbs, and all the fantastic Stuntmen that gladly left SAMP for Stunts Unlimited, which was a GOOD MOVE. Burt Reynolds is a very talented man and a very funny man with a great sense of humor and he loves to laugh a lot. Locations were a blast and Burt was a great Stuntman in his own right! He feared nothing but Producers feared him getting hurt and them losing money so he used the best Stuntmen in the Business! I wish him the very best as he's earned it and deserves it.
I never listened to movie critics, but I always liked Burt Reynolds good and bad movies.
He was beautiful
Rip Burt
🤔 I love Burt Reynolds ❤❤❤❤ !
Born Again Farm Girl m g
It's because Archer kidnapped him.
He's currently in an mental ward with total amnesia under someone else's name.
I believe he has parkinson`s disease, he is shaking with his hands, can`t get up from a chair and more.
That`s what his good friends say.
That makes this article disgusting and cruel. Do some people never grow up enough to understand the job category "Actor" and never understand they are looking at fellow human who live, love, work and die on the same time schedule we all do. Just say 'thank you' to the cool actors and actresses from older movies and be grateful for their work if it's still viable to you.
Johan Lebbing Either that or I thought HIV. I knew it wasn't from doing his own stunts in movieeslike he mentions. Just admit something Burt, we still like you..its 2017, c' mon, man
Yeah I think he has AIDS sadly. Its tragic that at this point in time its still such a taboo.
Burt Reynolds, from Gator.
Lana!!!
They were awfully simple, but I have always loved White Lightning and Gator. I think a lot more could have been done with that idea and Burt was the best at them.
Fred C n
Two things bothered me about White Lightning, concerning the Custom 500. Burt said the 429 had dual carburetors, which it didn't. Also, the soundtrack had him driving a standard, and showed him shifting a stick shift. However, when he pulled up to his parent's house, you could clearly see him putting the column shifted automatic into park. The thing is, they could have put a stick in the car, and all would have been right in the movie(and the world).
Lana spelled backwards is..........
They left out a lot of good flicks like gator, Hooper, semi tough, longest yard etc.
reinolds is one of my favorite actor .. so cool that guy!
You forgot The End (1978) which I enjoyed and would watch it again :) great job, Burt and the rest of the star-studded cast .
what are you talking about till this day Burt Reynolds is one of the best actors ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He'll always be the Bandit no matter how many forgettable roles he's had and TBH I liked him as Sheriff Ed Earl in Best Little Whorehouse In Texas and it's kinda cool having Mayor Burt on your team in Saints Row 3 after dealing with the zombie outbreak.

I KNOW RIGHT !!!!!! LOL !!!! WEEEE HAAAAAA !!!!
Great video. Thanks for uploading it.
Y’all made this just a few months to early... Rest In Peace Bandit.
he is definitely Bandit
I love Burt !!
I remember when *Sharkey's Machine* came out. It was instantly my favorite movie and IMHO was BR's finest work. Don't get me wrong... I love *Deliverance* and *Smokey & the Bandit* but for me, Sharkey's Machine was a damn good movie. If that didn't make Hollywood forgive his transgressions then nothing would. Then again, Hollywood doesn't have a goddamn clue when it comes to true acting talent. They've lost much of their credibility and their ability to recognize talent is questionable.
Wow, what a negative portrayal of a great actor. Deliverance is a classic movie & the video doesn't mention The Longest Yard. Give me a break.
Larry Hinze Kuir!
Bryan Herber or white lightning
He was also the star of “The Man Who Loved Women.”
RIP BURT REYNOLDS.......
...is because he's dead.
Nope. Now you hear about him all the time
Watch the dislike count rise. It's fascinating. Perhaps Looper will actually be sensitive to the mood of its viewers and remove this video, but probably not. Nearly 2 million views? I think they'll keep it, dislikes be damned somehow.
Dude too soon.
Christian K good guess captain obvious!
I just found out too
I always loved Burt and yeah, he made some raspberries but he always hung in there and stuck with what he loved. Atta boy BR!
Narration left out "Starting Over", perhaps Reynolds' best.
the main reason we dont see him much is he is in his 80,s getting old but we still love you burt and miss you
Vielen Dank für den Rückblick eines großen Stars der sich nie in den Vordergrund drängte. Ruhe in Frieden
Gee whiz why aren't we seeing more of that 81 year old guy?!?
Chris Johannsen ... cuz play girl magazine fold couple of decades back when you could get porn for free on the internet
chris johannsen - Gee whiz, why are you watching a video on an 81 year old crumbly when your youtube photo to the left shows you with a smoking hot babe?
David Earea that smoking hot babe is my wife and we both work. But thanks.
Well, honestly age wouldn't be an unsurmountable obstacle. Christopher Lee acted well over his 80's (I think he worked till the end) and Clint Eastwood's still working. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to retire (Sean Connery did the same thing), but just saying that people in the industry working over the age of 80 aren't rare at all.
Name the movie Clint Eastwood last acted in. You're drawing a blank aren't you?
and no reference to the gator mclosky movies or the longest yard wtf
Still blows away today's millennial generation of actor's .
Stick and Gator were both awesome!
Because he's old
Yes u r right charlie i also think the same ;)
Age is not that important, Christopher Lee played in LOTR after the age of 80.
92 yrs at the battle of the five army!
Old and F'd up.
Charlie Murphy yep and broken. literally cuz he used to do his own stunts and was once a stuntman kind of like Jackie chan minus the martial arts. his body is broken so while Christopher lee could still act ( cgi) Burt has major pain beyond old age.
He's Burt Reynolds !! ,, for fucks sake. and he's cool.
will wing Burt Reynolds Fan Club 2017 on Facebook check it out.
He's the best of the best
He is a legend. An American icon.
The Cannonball run is one of my favorite comedies
Dwayne johnson
Gil Moat
Ummm, Who is the WORST Actor and Lamest WWE Personality Ever.
Alex Trebek; *CORRRRECT!!!*
So handsome and such personality. Loved him and his acting.
Met him personally in Savannah, Ga. while filming the LongestYard.. Really kool dude as he took time to chat and sign autograph. Recently saw him on a 'Loud and Fast ' episode at his ranch in Jupiter Florida. Looked a little aged.. like most of us as the years pass!! Hang in there buddy!! Thx. Jeff Brown.. So. Carolina
This video was very short on his best works. Gunsmoke, often considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Dan August, nominated for Best Actor. Deliverance, masterpiece. White Lightning, The Longest Yard (nominated for Best Actor), and Hustle were great. Smokey and the Bandit is one of the most famous movies of all time. Semi-Tough, The End, and Hooper were good. Starting Over earned him another Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Sharky's Machine was his best work as a director and one of his best movies. He earned an Emmy for Evening Shade and a Golden Globe for his riveting performance in Boogie Nights. Burt Reynolds was one of the most popular and accomplished actors of all time.
Burt rocks😎😎😎
Hooper was awesome. I think it also has Jan Michael Vincent.
It did. He played a up and coming stuntman who had no bad habits.
I'm still awaitin' on Deliverance Deuce
Breaker breaker 19. Calling all ex CB'ers from the 70's and later. Burt Reynolds every CB'ers favourite actor.
Great lakes bandit 462 waving a hand break broke
RIP BURT REYNOLDS and I am clearing on the side
Because people don't keep steadily acting when they're 80 unless they're Morgan Freeman or Jack Nicholson.
Even Nicholson is retired (as of 2017, at least)
meanwhile Jeanne Fonda is still killing it in the screen. they are basically the same age. both their cosmetic surgery are the best in town. White people never look like that past 65
ikr? The man is in his *EIGHTIES* and they're talkin' about why we don't hear from him anymore? Are these clowns serious? Sometimes Looper doesn't make a lick'a sense...
age is nothing but a number.
Jack retired 7 years ago.
He was funny in Strip tease as David Dillbeck , the congressman
that had the hots for Demi Moore as Erin Grant.
Sugarland express in 72-73 just before it was released, I was sitting at a intersection just outside of Houston, TX, in Sugarland, I looked over low and behold was Burt Reynolds, I nodded, he waved and my dad in the back seat hollers out the window " Hey Burt " Burt waved and drove off, never will I ever forget the look on Dad or Burts face.. priceless.
Great video, thanks!
ahhhhh Burt !!! you are so cool !!!!
nice you missed The longest yard in your video, talk about a great movie
The first one was great. And even the re-make had some redeeming qualities Actually, the re-make may go down in history as the last Adam Sandler "comedy" that had some real comedy to it.
They also missed Smokey and the Bandit. Another great film by Reynolds.
Umm....they did mention Smokey and the Bandit. lol
Rexfellis mm
atran, no, they mentioned Smokey and the Bandit 3.
Bert thrived on physical roles, took roids in his early days,but he just cant get those roles anymore so it sucks, but will always be the nicest bloke and the king of cool.
He just passed. Sad to see an icon go but as an Everyman he left a hell of a legacy.
He ruled much of the seventies but yeah too much tongue in cheek stuff and crappy movies. He should have been more serious like Clint. Great career though. I don't know how the hell he went broke. WTF
Wine, women and song.
No mention of the longest yard great film
And Hooper was a good one
Hooper was great.
R.I.P. Burt! You inspired so many. 9/06/2018
He has been a guest on The Dan Lebatard with Stugotz. Great interview and often on the show. I know that isn't a movie but he is still around.
And to think women complain about double standards. woman poses nude her career takes off. man poses nude hes a laughing stock
Rob good point
If Amy Schumer poses nude.. I might want to kill my self.
+Rob "man poses nude hes a laughing stock"
I was a young adult at the time that Burt Reynolds posed nude, and in spite of what Looper claims, it did not harm his image at all. Quite the reverse - it gave him an enormous amount of publicity, and made him the darling of the talk shows. He was also in a high profile relationship with Dinah Shore, who was an older woman and incredibly famous at the time, and helped to give Reynolds a veneer of sophistication.
The concurrent release of "Deliverance" proved that Burt Reynolds could act, as opposed to just flinging his body around and sliding on the ground, car bonnet, etc as he did in "Dan August".
At the time, to use a cliche, the world was his oyster.
Ro
omg youre a dolt
These millionaires always go bankrupt , that frustrates me as I know with my current lifestyle one million would stretch out for the rest of my life.
They always have to have extravagant lifestyles.
You aren´t the only one who thinks that, millions of us do and don´t look up to these assholes. Just always remember that you are a much better person than they will ever be.
You'd be surprised how easily it is to go bankrupt. If you won the lottery, you would be a candidate.
Max Payne You are dead right. I know the feeling.
Painkiller Jones Loni Anderson cleaned him out. That's the high-maintenance poon-tang for ya
Well, that face and bod had to pay off for her sometime, she couldn't act all that well.
This movie is for older people who can appreciate the life and times of Burt Renalds
Just watched it.... very well written and acted ..loved the parts where they spliced in The old and young Burt Renalds interacting awesome flick ...so true / great message ...
He was a star...plain and simple...
But he's been on Jeopardy as Turd Furgeson.
Oh yeah, I think he wore a big hat...because it's funny. He really nailed that "Swords" category.
saberjpg1975 😂
Steven Baumann Turd! Funny!
Norm Macdonald was perfect as Burt. He also did a skit with Cheri Oteri, was was playing Barbara Walters. During the interview, he suddenly gets up and leaves, much to the dismay of Cheri. He returns, to a smiling Cheri, only to pick up a magazine, and leave again.
Andrew M he really did a great impersonation! He even looked like a young version of him.
i love the guy and still think he is great
Burt had a condo in jupiter florida, located in the Plantation where his actors at the burt reynolds playhouse would stay, i was a young guy then and Jacqueline Smith was swimming topless in the community pool at the Jupiter Plantation, Wow, Burt you are a down to earth good guy ! thanks for this interesting video to whoever posted it !
His best was interacting with Ken Curtis' Fesus on Gunsmoke as "Commanch".
Long live the Bandit.
These are starting to get a little mean spirited you guys. How about a "The Real Reason Looper has run out of good ideas." 🤔
Smokey and The Bandit @ 12. That's what got me into CB & Truckn. Still 'The Bandit' to me 10/4
Great lakes bandit got a copy of you break break
BRAVO!!!
God bless you Burt, you are appreciated and respected, you're a good man.
"Thanks for the ride Bandit, good luck tapping some of that hot, hot Sally Field's tail"
-Stewie
WTF I really like Burton Reynolds
I loved the movie Smokey and the Bandit now when I look at Burt Reynolds it's hard to believe what getting old does to your body you can't stay young and sexy forever.
He lives in my condo complex in Jupiter, FL. He is a very nice man, very polite.
Dan August
He is retired...
He ain´t. His last movie "Dog Years" is according to reviews very good and was shown at Robert de Niro´s film festival.
I can't stand Looper's superficial narration and editing.
I grew up with Burt Reynolds & the Cannonball movies, show some respect, you ingrates!
