Burt Reynolds says he had to cheat in order to keep up with Russell Crowe in a drinking contest.

Reynolds, now 71, says back in 1999 he and Crowe were working on a film together [Mystery, Alaska] when they became drinking pals.

Burt found the only way he could keep up with his buddy was to trick him.

Burt told Maxim, “I could drink pretty good, but I used to cheat. Like when I filmed Mystery, Alaska with the Aussie. One night I said to the girl behind the bar, ‘Here’s $100. Give me a vodka and tonic with a lime, but after that, alternate with water and lime.’ On the 10th round Russell grabbed the glass and took a swallow. Thank God it was the vodka. He said, ‘You’re all right mate.’”
