Burt Reynolds’s Frail Appearance: Nearly Unrecognizable At Comic-Con

People barely recognized Burt when he showed up at Philadelphia’s Wizard World Comic Con on May 10. The Smokey and the Bandit star appeared so fragile, and even had to get around with help from a cane. Yikes!

He was on hand to promote his upcoming memoir, But Enough About Me, reports People magazine. Burt’s forthcoming book will focus more on the actors and personalities he’s dealt with over his incredible career.

“I got along great with 98 percent of them, and a few of them I didn’t like at all,” Reynolds told the Philly Inquirer. “When you write a book like this, you have to tell the whole thing, and there are days when everything isn’t wonderful and there were people who I thought were asses.”

It seems that Burt still has some fire in him. We can’t wait to read it. And, despite how he looked, Burt seemed okay. He still was very stylish, rocking a black blazer, ruby-tinted glasses and his trademark devilish look in his eye.

Still — we hope everything’s okay with you, Bandit!
