Actor Burt Reynolds who is now 73, has checked into a rehab clinic for treatment for his painkiller addiction after undergoing a back surgery.

Reynolds' manager released a statement, "After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills. He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life. Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes they will not try to solve the problem by themselves, but realize that sometimes it is too tough to do on their own and they should seek help, as he did."
