The Return of the Bandit
"Extra" caught up with 68-year-old Burt Reynolds, who is preparing for a surprise return to the big screen in "Cloud Nine."
It's Burt's first big movie since winning an Oscar nomination for "Boogie Nights" six years ago, and this is just one of five movies he's making back-to-back in a summer box-office blitz. "I guess it's a great compliment," Reynolds said.
In "Cloud Nine," Burt plays the coach of a volleyball team of strippers. And his beautiful young costars have quickly fallen for his famous charm.
"The man is a God," Gabrielle Reece insisted. But Burt told us, "I think they’re just being very kind."
The twice-married, one-time husband of Loni Anderson also confessed he has just as great a weakness for women as ever. He’s known for having said that when he’s in a relationship he’s monogamous, but when he’s not, he’s carnivorous.
"I had that on t-shirts at one time, and caught a lot of hell for it," Reynolds admitted. "But I think it is true, and I think it's a good idea."
At least for now, his five new movies and his busy career comeback are keeping Burt out of trouble.
