Kevin Bacon opened up with Vanity Fair in a profile posted Wednesday, saying he recently wore a prosthetic costume to see what it was like to not be recognized.
“People were pushing me around and not being nice,” Bacon told Vanity Fair. “Nobody was saying, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a coffee or whatever. I was like, ‘This is bullshit. I want to be famous again.’”
The actor hired a special effects makeup artist to give him fake teeth, a different nose and glasses. He then went to The Grove, an outdoor shopping mall in Los Angeles, and said no one recognized him.
While talking about his role in the horror film “MaXXXine,” which was released on Wednesday, Bacon revealed to the magazine that he likes the horror genre because he is a consumer of it. He also talked about being raised by his father, Edmund Bacon, a well-known Philadelphia urban planner who was also known as “The father of modern Philadelphia.” Bacon said seeing his father recognized in Philadelphia was a “huge driving force” in his life.
“As far as giving credit to my parents, and of course I give them all the credit, my mother was very interested in art and really encouraged acting. My brother was a musician, but overall, between the six of us [children]“Both encouraged the greatest possible creativity in everything: dance, music, theatre, painting, sculpture, whatever.”
He continued: “My father was famous in Philadelphia, which in some ways is a small pond, but to me it was a big pond. I saw people recognizing him when he walked down the street, and seeing that was definitely a big driving force in my life. Frankly, I wanted to be more famous than him. And you can lay me down on the psychiatrist’s couch. We could talk about that for a while. But it was definitely a motivation.”
