Kevin Bacon wore a disguise to spend the day like a normal person and discovered it ‘sucked’

As the game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” suggests, actor Kevin Bacon is pretty famous, and has been for a long time. The “Footloose” and “Friday the 13th” actor – who’s been in the business for well over 40 years and has two movies out this week, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” and “MaXXXine” – spoke to Vanity Fair for an interview published on Friday in which he discussed his longtime status as a highly recognizable star, and how he recently tried to see how the other half lived. “I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations, and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise,” Bacon told the outlet. Once outfitted and incognito, he went to The Grove – one of the most visited and populous commercial centers in Los Angeles – and was thrilled to discover that “nobody recognized” him. He was thrilled at first, to be clear, but that soon faded. “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—king coffee or whatever,” Bacon observed coyly. “I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.”
