Burt Reynolds makes his way to Comic Con

Burt Reynolds, 79, made a rare public appearance over the weekend at Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia.

Sporting rose-colored glasses, a black velvet jacket and using a cane for support, the star fielded questions from fans and seemed to have a good time.

In a Daily Mail video posted on YouTube, he seemed as sharp and sarcastic as ever, saying Deliverance was his favorite film and Sally Field was "the best leading lady I ever had."

Reynolds, who has had some health issues including back surgery in 2009 and a quintuple bypass in 2010, has also had some financial troubles. He filed bankruptcy in 1998. And in 2011 he was facing foreclosure on his Jupiter, Fla., home.

But he seemed upbeat about this first appearance at Comic Con.

"I think it's a good time to find out what it's all about," Reynolds told Philly.com in an interview before the weekend gig. "I always enjoy talking to fans and I'm usually very pleased with their curiosity about my career, what I'm doing, what I'm not doing, and why I'm not doing more."
