Health Woes
During filming City Heat, Burt Reynolds was struck in the face. By accident, of course! And the object that whacked him in the face? A metal chair. As a result, Reynolds underwent temporomandibular joint dysfunction and wound up losing 30 pounds, as he couldn’t eat. Moreover, he developed an addiction to his prescription painkillers, which took some time to overcome. In 2009 he also underwent back surgery and just a year later, had quintuple bypass surgery.
