Burt Reynolds was on Conan O’Brien’s talk show tonight and the latter wanted to know everything about the former. For example, he wanted to know more about that time the Bandit took it all off for Cosmo.
Back in 1972, he shocked and delighted the world by being the first huge male celebrity to pose naked for a Cosmopolitan centerfold and 45 years later we are still talking about. Was he nervous to do that? The last movie star told the TBS host that he got plastered for the shoot.
When he got there, the photographer told him about the first scene they were going to shoot for that day. Reynolds thought he was only being photographed nude on the couch. Eventually he decided to go with and told the photographer that he was going to take off his robe and the man behind the camera should roll with it.
When it was finally time, off came the robe and on went his hands over his longest yard. At that moment, he shared with us his realization, “I’m sad to say, I have very small hands.”
Thanks to a 2016 presidential debate, we all know what that means. Or should I say used to mean?
