When he tested the look at outdoor Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, “Nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But the tide evidently soon turned. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.”
Lmao this has to be a joke. Is this really what life is like for these people? No one said "I love you" to a stranger at the mall? He had to wait in lines? Maybe the most eye-opening thing about this is that Kevin seemed to expect to be treated more or less the same way he is as a celebrity, just without the selfies, which says to me that he thought everyone gets treated the same way famous people do. Sometimes it's interesting to get a reminder of how out of touch these people really are.
Just curious, how’s it obvious? We supposed to Google his movie release schedule…? Text him to see what’s going on…?
What’s obvious to you because you have nothing better to read than media news all day is actually not obvious to 99.99% of other people.
Who would have fucking thought…………
Did you somehow forget how seriously out of touch all the celebrities were during covid? Because going off of previous precedence… yeah they are seriously out of touch and this is exactly how a lot would be expected to act…
I didn't read that as "he didn't realize those things" but as "he didn't think he'd care as much as he did". Like, it's easy to say "I could go without X" but actually doing it is different. That's a universally true experience that seems more likely than "Kevin Bacon thought average people get to skip lines and have strangers say I love you"
Think about it in context of giving an interview. It's him giving an example of things that happen to him normally, not him having an expectation as a normy. It probably just made him realize how fortunate he is.
Mine is 3 my brother was in an indi film with an actress who was in a movie with him. I'm pretty sure she was one of the three main characters in The craft I just can't remember her name.
Mine is also 3, multiple times. I worked in a bar that was used for film shoots a few times. I've met Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, and Erica Durance, who all have a 2. I also went to school with someone who is a 2.
Per [Vanity Fair], he was outfitted with fake teeth, a slightly different nose and glasses. When he tested the look at outdoor Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, “Nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But the tide evidently soon turned. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous,” he told VF.
The actor, who has been working steadily since the late 70s and became a megastar with 1984’s Footloose, also told VF, “I honestly feel very grateful for where I happen to be. That I can have two totally different movies coming out within a couple of days of each other, and completely different roles. The fact they would both come my way is the thing that I feel the most gratitude for. I’ve fought really long and hard for it.”
I live in Jackson, Wyoming. We have the highest per capita number of billionaires cosplaying at "normal guy" in the nation. It's a thing. They come up here, switch to their "mountain casual" clothes (bonus points if well worn), get in a ten year old Subaru and go to the bar and have a beer with "the locals". Maybe a trip to the Idaho side and hit Victor, Driggs, or Tetonia.
Famous actor and musician: Footloose, Tremors, Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13, Mystic River, JFK, etc. He is a pretty prolific actor, but of course not everyone knows of every famous person out there. My favorite Kevin Bacon fact is the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". It appears to show up right in the comment below this one. My Kevin Bacon number is 3. My father is friend's with a bandmate in his son's band.
