Burt Reynolds has issued a threat to fans who try to steal his toupee - he'll beat them up. The 71-year-old admits he slips on a wig to cover up his baldness when he is in public, but he is confident he can tackle any pranksters who try to snatch it from his head.

Reynolds tells Maxim magazine, "I wear wigs once in a while. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It's all a joke really. I always say, 'If you can get it off my head before I kick all the air out of your body, let's do that.'"

"One good thing, no matter how old I get, is that people say, 'He's crazy; he'll kick you.' I have that reputation, so I just stick with it."
