Hollywood veteran Sylvester Stallone also expressed his sorrow over Reynolds' death and posted a picture with him on Instagram.
He captioned, "A sad day, my friend BURT REYNOLDS Has passed away. I remember him back in 1979, he always reminded me that I should?ve cast him as Colonel Trautman in FIRST BLOOD, I said that's impossible because you're too expensive and too famous, and probably tougher than Rambo! He laughed, He had a great sense of humour and I enjoyed his company so much... RIP Buddy"

#tbt to my interview in 1994 with #BurtReynolds, who at the time was being an incorrigible rascal! I interviewed him many times over the years and he always made me laugh - and sometimes made me blush. Rest In Peace, Burt. PS: No hair comments, please! pic.twitter.com/JIThJwc9K5

Just bawled my eyes out watching the beautiful gem #TheLastMovieStar - in honor of the late, great #BurtReynolds. @AdamRifkin - you gave him such an amazing gift with this flick. The scene where he apologizes to Claudia is some of Burt’s career-best acting. See it on @itunes now! pic.twitter.com/dq8qKxoUD8
