Try him out in the Roy Scheider role in Jaws. To make my point about how limited Reynolds was an actor, try imagining him playing other roles that were played by excellent actors. Who was better looking, Warren Beatty or Burt Reynolds? Well, Reynolds by a clear margin.
There was a guy who had been getting sideways glances from girls since he was fourteen, and that he came an inch short of an arbitrary height threshold was simply immaterial.
#BURT REYNOLDS SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT BELT BUCKLE FREE#
"Yep" and "Nup"? :)īurt was free to make jokes about his height ( which was abo average anyway) because he was physically superior in looks and virility to just about everybody else. Just wondering what his pick up lines might've been. I'll give Burt a tick there.Īnyway, like Errol Flynn, people can wax lyrical about Errol's conquests but, by and large, someone like Gary Cooper constantly pulled in women of far better all round quality. Yeah, she wasn't too bad and even into older age she looked good. As to Reynolds and the few women I am aware of with whom he was associated, viz Carne, Fields and Anderson, I personally cannot say that I found any of them particularly attractive. I understand young Beatty's looks were highly regarded, most importantly by a lot of women who were gorgeous themselves and who in fact dated him. Sure, they'll acknowledge both as quality but only one or the other really gets them gaga. From my experience, most women who are clearly swayed by a "type" will prefer one clearly over the other. Pals Pitt and Clooney are interesting examples of somewhat different "types".
Again, like us, other women might not be confined to a "type" and open to quality across the board. Like us men, some woman can prefer a particular type as opposed to another. Certainly, before anything else, I can say that Beatty and Reynolds represented two, clearly different "types". I can only estimate male looks second hand, as an extension of my understanding of what most women might rate as attractive features. In terms of how a woman might judge them, I couldn't personally say who was better looking out of Beatty and Reynolds. If Eddie Albert was below 5'10" by the original Longest Yard then you could argue he was looking more 5'10" than 5'11" in a football uniform. He just edged 5'9.5" Adam Sandler and 5'10" Chris Rock with elevator sneakers in The Longest Yard remake so he may have been about 5'9" by his late 60s. I'd guess he could have been down to 5'7.5" by the end of his life. He wasn't able to stand straight anymore but De Niro has bad posture these days and can look below 5'7". By the end of his life, he wasn't looking much taller than a roughly 5'7" De Niro in those boots. He wore the same type of boots Phillip kitcher posted from the early 80s until the end of his life, but he had back surgery in 2009 and by 2013, he was looking maybe 1.5" taller than Mark Wahlberg when he managed to stand straight in elevator boots. That would make him about 6'2" in elevator boots or 6'1"-6'2" range. He did also pull off looking close in height to Jonathan Ross as late as 1993 around the time he was reported to have lost an inch due to injuries. He arguably pulled off looking 6'1" with Bill Murray, Roger Moore, Ed McMahon and Jack Elam and 6'0"-6'1" range with Johnny Carson, Dom Deluise and Clint Eastwood. I'd guess he gained 3" actual height from those boots, but could that give him 3.5"? I think he was joking about being 6'3" in boots because he also joked in 1978 that he was 5'11", but 6'7" with his boots.
