Burt Reynolds Confesses He Fell In Love With A SEVEN YEAR OLD Actress In Bizarre Interview…

You guys… I don’t know what to make of this.

Holy mother of AWKWARD.

Burt Reynolds was interviewed by Hoda Kotb… and either he’s a huge creep, or he’s suffering from dementia or something…

One option is sad, the other is full blown yuck…

So oddly enough I’m kind of hoping this IS dementia of some sort… because at least then he has an excuse.

Um… what did I just watch?

Has he always been like this? I honestly don’t know.

According to Fox:

Legendary actor Burt Reynolds told “Today” show host Hoda Kotb in a bizarre interview Thursday that he was “proud” of her for not having her lips plumped.

Reynolds, 82, was on the “Today” show promoting his latest movie, “The Last Movie Star,” and he opted to wrap up the chat by focusing on Kotb’s looks.

Reynolds told Kotb, “I am so proud of you for not having your lips larger.”

Kotb replied by laughing and saying “OK, all right Burt.”

Awk… but not quite as awk as this:

Earlier on in the chat, he made eyebrow-raising comments about Sally Fields.

Kotb asked Reynolds who the love of his life was.

“You’re naughty, you really are. I’m dead in the water no matter what I say. Well, she was 7 when I fell in love with her. She stayed 7 for about 11 years. I would say Sally,” the “Boogie Nights” actor replied.

Sally Field?” Kotb asked.

“No, Sally Wolfergosh. Yes, Sally Field,” Reynolds replied as Kotb laughed.

Reynolds explained he wanted Field to star with him in “Smokey and the Bandit” but was told the actress was not “sexy.”

“I said, ‘You don’t get it, talent is sexy,’” Reynolds said.

On a more serious note, Burt also talked about how tough it was to feel like he was disappointing his father by being an actor:

The actor also spoke about his relationship with his father, a WWII veteran and a police chief.

“When you said to him after football wasn’t going to work out, ‘Hey, dad, I’m going to be an actor,’ what was his reaction?” Kotb asked.

“He threw up,” Reynolds replied.

“For real?” Kotb asked.

“No, but he wasn’t happy, you know. He wanted me to be — you know something to talk to the guys on the force about. Not that he’s working with Candy Bergen [Candice Bergen], which for me doesn’t get any better,” Reynolds replied.

Kotb pressed further about Reynolds’ relationship with his father and if he ever said he was proud of him.

“He did to other people but not to me,” Reynolds said. “I would ask him, ‘What did you think of the last picture, dad?’ and he said ‘What picture?’”

Reynolds recalled an incident when he was arrested by his father for fighting. He said his father threw the suspects into the “drunk tank” but let them go once their fathers picked them up, except for Reynolds.

“He looks at me and says, ‘Your father didn’t show up.’ It was tough, slow but I loved him,” Reynolds said.

It’s sad, really…

He obviously has a lot of difficult feelings to work through.
