Burt Reynolds Criticizes Charlie Sheen’s HIV Diagnosis

Veteran Hollywood actor Burt Reynolds recently expressed his lack of sympathy for Charlie Sheen, asserting that Sheen “deserves” the HIV diagnosis he disclosed three years ago.

Reynolds made these remarks during an appearance on the popular ITV show, Loose Women, where he criticized Sheen's handling of the situation.

Sheen went public with his HIV status in a live television interview in the United States, revealing that he had been living with the virus for three years.

Reynolds, however, did not mince words when discussing Sheen's behavior, stating, “I feel bad for him but Charlie, I don't feel bad for him.

Reflecting on missed opportunities, Reynolds revealed that he declined the iconic role of James Bond, attributing his decision to a lack of confidence in his suitability for the part.
