Burt Reynolds was reunited with his high school sweetheart at a book signing in his hometown.

Reynolds, 80, attended the Palm Beach Book Festival in West Palm Beach, Florida to promote his memoir, But Enough About Me, when he came face-to-face with Ann Lawlor Scurry.

The Palm Beach Post reported that Lawlor Scurry took part in the Q&A at the Norton Museum by asking Reynolds: “Who was your best girl in high school?"

The Hollywood legend replied: “Well, I can’t see. But I have a feeling it was you."

The pair looked delighted to be reacquainted and posed for pictures together, with Lawlor Scurry planting a kiss on the actor’s cheek.

Reynolds signed a copy of his book for his former girlfriend and quipped: "I got my first kiss from her."
