20 Amazing Vintage Portraits of Burt Reynolds Posing With Cowboy Hat

Burt Reynolds and cowboy hats go hand in hand—he rocked them in several iconic roles. Whether it was as Bo “Bandit” Darville in Smokey and the Bandit, or in westerns like Gunsmoke, 100 Rifles, and The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, Reynolds had that effortless swagger that made a cowboy hat look like it was made just for him.

In movies like The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Gator, and Hooper, he blended cowboy aesthetics with a little outlaw charm. Even off-screen, Reynolds embraced the western lifestyle, often seen in cowboy boots and a hat.
