Burt Reynolds: “Dumping Manure on National Enquirer Gave Me Satisfaction”

, a renowned actor, recently opened up about various aspects of his life, revealing personal anecdotes and regrets.

Growing up, Reynolds' father, who served in the military and worked as a chief of police, seldom expressed affection.

However, towards the end of his life, he finally told Reynolds that he was proud of him, which meant a great deal to the actor.

Reynolds also shared his regret about posing n^ked for Cosmopolitan magazine.

Contrary to popular belief, his seemingly conceited expression in the photoshoot was intended to be satirical.

Unfortunately, the timing of the release coincided with his film Deliverance, negatively impacting its chances at the Oscars.

One act that brought immense satisfaction to Reynolds was dumping a helicopter full of manure onto the offices of the National Enquirer.

The publication had been publishing derogatory stories about him for years, and he felt it was fitting to respond in this way.

On Christmas Eve, Reynolds and his pilot loaded his helicopter with manure from his ranch, flew over the National Enquirer building, and watched as it cascaded down onto their giant Christmas tree.

Despite being labeled a s** symbol throughout his career, Reynolds admits that being called one has always made him cringe.

He believes that such a label often diminishes people's perception of his intelligence.

He thought that with age, the label would cease to bother him, but it continues to follow him.

In the 1980s, rumors circulated that Reynolds had contracted AIDS after breaking his jaw while filming.

This led to him losing significant weight, and he experienced firsthand how Hollywood treated him like a pariah.

It was a challenging period in his life, but it revealed who his true friends were and exposed those who turned out to be less supportive.

One of Reynolds' biggest regrets is not staying with Dinah Shore, whom he considers the love of his life.

Despite being soulmates, he allowed his flourishing career and inflated ego to hinder their relationship.

Reynolds deeply regrets this decision and has yet to find anyone who compares to her.

Reynolds also shared an unpleasant encounter with , whom he describes as an “unbelievable arsehole.”

Brando harbored resentment towards Reynolds due to their resemblance when Reynolds was younger.

At a party, Brando rudely accused Reynolds of capitalizing on their physical similarities.

In response, Reynolds promised Brando that he would not gain weight.

Reflecting on his career, Reynolds admits to moments of self-sabotage.

He turned down iconic roles such as James Bond and 's part in Terms of Endearment.

However, his role in Boogie Nights revitalized his career, despite his initial reluctance.

As long as the laughter continues, Reynolds is content with his choices.

The persistent image of Reynolds as a womanizing tough guy has haunted him throughout his life and caused him considerable pain.

He confesses that he still struggles to understand what truly captivates women.

Expressing concern for his friend Donald Trump, Reynolds admits he was terrified that Trump would involve him in his presidential campaign.

Reynolds would have declined the offer, fearing that Trump's presidency could quickly escalate into a war.

While Reynolds acknowledges Trump's fun and sweet side, he also recognizes parallels between their arrogant behavior and the presence of numerous sycophants.

Lastly, Reynolds confesses to having a lifelong penchant for speeding.

Just recently, he received another ticket for his love of driving fast cars.

However, when accompanied by a beautiful lady, Reynolds prefers a slower, quieter mode of transportation.
