He's survived Deliverance, endured the Cannonball Run and made it through The Longest Yard. Now Burt Reynolds is looking to bounce back from some serious ticker trouble.

The former box-office champ is recovering from quintuple bypass surgery.

Reynolds, 74, had the operation last week, according to Entertainment Tonight, and is now back at his Florida home with 24-hour nursing care.

The Hollywood icon has battled other health issues in recent years, including back surgery that led a prescription pill addiction and trip to rehab in 2009.
