Kevin Bacon is sizzling
“There’s nothing I won’t play. I won’t draw the line at anything. Worrying about image is for celebrities, not actors.”
From his breakout role in 1982’s Diner, Kevin Bacon remains a beacon of enduring charm and versatility. With a career spanning four decades, including a stint at the dizzying heights of pop culture, Bacon, 66, has seamlessly navigated the realms of blockbusters and indie darlings, leaving an indelible mark on cinema.
Bacon’s magnetic screen presence is evident in his most celebrated works, from the iconic Footloose to the gripping Mystic River and Apollo 13. His frequent forays into horror and independent films showcase his willingness to explore new territories, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
Off-screen, Bacon’s 36-year marriage to actress Kyra Sedgwick is a testament to his stability in an industry known for fleeting romances. Their daughter, Sosie Bacon, is following in her parents’ footsteps, making waves with her breakout role in the horror hit Smile.
Bacon’s talent has not gone unrecognized, with a Golden Globe win and Screen Actors Guild Award to his name. As he gracefully cruises through his sixties, Bacon’s relevance shows no signs of waning, proving that true star power is indeed ageless.
