Kevin Bacon turns 66: Shirtless snap and undercover day revealed
One of the most recognizable Hollywood actors just celebrated his 66th birthday. On this occasion, he posted a picture on his social media showing him casually in an unbuttoned shirt. His famous wife rushed to the comments section.
Kevin Bacon is undoubtedly a Hollywood legend with a career spanning decades. His real breakthrough came with his role in the 1984 movie Footloose. Thanks to his character, Ren McCormack, he quickly became a pop culture icon and firmly established himself among the Hollywood elite.
He demonstrated his acting prowess in Oliver Stone’s acclaimed "JFK" (1991) and a year later in "A Few Good Men" by Rob Reiner, alongside Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and Demi Moore. This led to further offers pouring in. In 1994, he co-starred with Meryl Streep in "River Wild," earning his first Golden Globe nomination. He won the coveted statuette for his role in "Taking Chance" in 2009.
Currently, a horror movie featuring him, "MaXXXine," is showing in theaters. On Netflix, you can watch him in the new installment of "Beverly Hills Cop," where he plays a corrupt cop.
Kevin Bacon celebrates his 66th birthday
On his popular Instagram account (he has almost 5 million followers!), the actor posted a picture of him casually lying on a stone shore, possibly wet from a cool dip during a hot summer. His unbuttoned shirt reveals his chest.
Fans left birthday wishes and compliments about the actor’s great shape in the comments. Even Kevin’s wife, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress Kyra Sedgwick, left a joking comment: "Not too shabby!"
David Duchovny, who is only slightly younger than Bacon, also decided to showcase the body of a mature man. In his latest film, which he directed himself, there is a deliberately comical nude scene.
Kevin Bacon tried "ordinary life": He wasn’t thrilled
In one of his recent interviews, Kevin Bacon revealed that he decided to conduct an unusual experiment. Along with special effects assistants, he prepared a disguise to feel like an average citizen for a day. "I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations, and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise," Bacon said. His goal was to understand life without constant fan and paparazzi attention. After a few hours in the shoes of an "ordinary mortal," he concluded that it was not for him and that he wanted to be famous again.
