Burt Reynolds has passed away

Here’s a list of some of the roles he turned down:
James Bond
Michael Corleone in The Godfather
Han Solo in Star Wars
Richard Gere’s role in Pretty Woman
Jack Nicholson’s role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
& Terms of Endearment
Bruce Willis’ role in Die Hard
to name some.

Others were reported to be Taxi Driver, Rocky, Rosemary’s Baby, and M.A.S.H. The one he regretted the most was James Bond. He felt it wasn’t proper for an American to do the role and later regretted it.

All the best,
Nonoise

good looking guy who probably wouldn't support what's happening right now. so rip.

I saw that and so sad he was always one of my favorites growing up. I loved the Smokey and the Bandit movies as a kid. Seemed like a super nice genuine guy too RIP.

As a kid in the late 70s, watching a guy with that much presence, getting the girls and cars and fun he did, he was everything we aspired to grow up to be.

Rest in peace, Burt

Burt was the man in late 70s to mid 80s.I remember watching him as a Mississippi Pliot on a River Boat when I was a kid.He was always entertaining .Yeah i saw,those movie roles he turned down .He would of made a great Hans Solo .But he was great as the Bandit and in  Boogie Nites and the Crew .It was a shame seeing his body break down in later years .He did a lot of his own stunts and was a Mans Man.Thank you Burt for all the laughts  and great movies .Your in Heaven with your Gang  now .Yeah ,with your feet up having a Sotch  n a cigar .RIP ,Bandit .
