Kevin Bacon wanted to have a day out in LA without being recognized and approached by fans. As an actor who has been in the spotlight for decades, he is well aware that his face is easily recognizable. So, he decided to go to great lengths to disguise himself and experience what it's like to be a "normal" person.
In a recent interview, the 65-year-old revealed that he went to a special effects makeup artist to create a prosthetic disguise. He got fake teeth, a prosthetic nose, and glasses, and headed to the Grove, a popular shopping center in LA. However, his disguise worked a little too well. No one recognized him, and he even had to wait in line like everyone else. It was a disappointing experience for the actor, who admitted that he missed being famous.
But Kevin's fame is well-deserved. He rose to fame in the 1980s after his role in the horror film Friday the 13th and has been in the spotlight ever since. This week alone, he has two blockbuster movies being released - MaXXXine and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix. He has also landed roles in major films like A Few Good Men, X-Men, Tremors, and Apollo 13.
However, Kevin is most known for his role as Ren McCormack in the iconic film Footloose. The movie, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, tells the story of a teenager trying to overturn a small town's ban on dancing. Although the film had some unforgettable dance scenes, don't expect Kevin to recreate them on demand. In a recent interview, he made it clear that he is not a trained monkey and will not perform the Footloose dance just because someone asks.
Despite his reluctance to dance on command, Kevin did have a fun experience at the Songwriters Hall of Fame when he and his brother played the song for Dean Pitchford, the writer of the Footloose screenplay and songs. However, on the red carpet, some people asked him to do the Footloose dance, and he politely declined.
It's clear that Kevin has had a successful and impressive career in Hollywood, but he also values his privacy and the freedom to go out without being recognized. And as much as he loves his fans, he admits that sometimes he just wants to be a normal person. So, next time you see Kevin Bacon in LA, make sure to give him some space and let him enjoy his low-key day out.
