Amazingly enough Reynolds for that part in the part Striptease So hard that he paid his own air ticket to fly to Florida to audition. The producers were not anxious that he was in the film because of his bad reputation and his ridiculous, exaggerated tougee that he insisted on carrying, but he proved to them that he was willing not to have any vain in this role. “At the first audition, the first day, Burt had to take off his tougee in front of six or seven people,” said producer Mike Lobell New York Times. “It was tough for him, but he did. It was a very, very humble thing to do. But at the end of the audition, it was really clear that Burt was the guy. “

In this role, Reynolds had to refrain from dignity and undermine his former leading man’s image while playing a man so perverse that he tells Moore’s stripper that he loved her “fresh, hot ludd.” Striptease Obviously had much more sexual content than before Reynold’s films, but the audience assumed that he simply moved with The Times. Therefore, when it was announced that he had agreed to start as porn director Jack Horner in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights, it was seemingly perfect meaning.

Just, here’s the thing: Reynolds hated working with that movie Because he thought the content was offensive, despised young Wunderkind director Paul Thomas Anderson and was so angry at his agent to facilitate the whole thing that he plundered him even after the role landed him a “best supporting actor” Oscar nomination.

“I needed a good movie bad at that time,” Reynolds told Jonathan Ross 2015. “So I made a movie that got a lot of attention, but it was about a topic that I have problems that is pornography. I didn’t think it was something my mother would go to. “Even if it’s really hard to imagine why Reynolds thought his mother would not have seen Boogie Nights but probably would have stood up for StripteaseIt cannot be denied that he felt that there was something different with the projects on a deep level.

Actually, Smokey and the bandit The star even admitted for Ross that He had actually never seen Boogie NightsTo which the shocked host replied, “You should go and watch that movie. You may be changing. I think you really can. “But he soon saw the strict look on Reynold’s face and said,” You are not convinced, right? ” The living legend simply answered, “No.”
