Was burt reynolds gay

When Burt Reynolds starred alongside Dolly Parton in the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, there were rumors that the two were hooking up, despite Parton being married.

Their closeness as characters as well as their chemistry, and their willingness to appear half-naked at the drop of a hat certainly made the show popular with gay men–and the stars also didn’t mind playing into the gay interest in the show, as you can see by the picture of them running hand in hand on the beach.
