Furthermore in the 2015 GQ interview, Reynolds elaborated more as to why men ignore the voice in their heads, telling them to run. “Because it is the most logical voice. And you are, at that point, not in love with logic. You are in love with beauty. You are blinded. We forget the ocean is beautiful and deep and vast. But it can change on you in a flash and drown you.” He then added, “I mean, I knew that I was making a mistake [with Anderson] the day I walked down the aisle at the church. I’ll never forget: I looked at my mother in the pew, and she was just shaking her head.”

Even though Burt Reynolds had been killing it in the box office for years, he struggled financial. Actually he struggled so much that he declared bankruptcy in the mid 90’s. Eventually Reynolds had to sell his house and the Burt Reynolds Ranch (where some scenes for ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ were filmed).
