The 72-year-old and his ex-wife, Loni Anderson, initially took out a $1.5 million mortgage on the home in 1994, with the understanding that the loan would be paid off by 2019.
Burt Reynolds tells RadarOnline.com: “With regard to the foreclosure action filed by Merrill Lynch on my house, for several reasons I am as surprised as everyone.
“I thought my career and my life could not be going better. To all of the people who have had such faith in me and stuck by me through thick and thin, thank you. I know it is not the end of the world.
"There are a hell of a lot of other people worse off than I am, and my heart goes out to them. I will do like I've always done, keep my head up high and continue to move on down the road."
