During the 1970s and early 1980s, Burt Reynolds was one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, starring in classics like Deliverance and Smokey and the Bandit. The guy even released a solo album and posed in the buff in magazine Cosmopolitan. He was a superstar! As a superstar, he knows all about stardom. No wonder Microsoft has roped in Reynolds for promoting its interactive game You’re in the Movies. Says Reynolds:

It’s great to be able to share some of my experience with everyone about what it takes to be a movie star. You’re in the Movies on Xbox 360 allows everyone to have a piece of the action and have a fun time with their friends and family, staring in their own features, from the comfort of their own homes.

And they don’t even have to pose naked on dead animal pelts in Cosmo! The 70-plus-year-old Reynolds will be appearing the game’s TV spots fully clothed (we hope). Press release after the jump. Burt Reynolds above. Naked.
