The exceedingly famous star ofMaXXXineandBeverly Hills Cop : Axel Ftried to be an fair individual for a day , and the result was far from what he look for .
Kevin Bacontried to be average for a day, but it didn’t play out how he expected.
I first fell in love with Kevin’s acting after watchingThe River Wild(1994) with my family and then secretly watchingWild Things(1998) without my family a few years later.
Almost everybody recognizes Kevin from at least one movie or can famously link him to another person using six degrees or less.
In an interview withVanity Fair, Kevin revealed how he tried to live out his fantasy of being a non-famous person, and the result is hilarious.
“I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations, and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise,” Kevin explained.
Kevin’s prosthetic disguise consisted of fake teeth, a prosthetic nose, glasses, and an outfit that resembled his character inMaXXXine,the final installment in Ti West’s horror trilogy that also includes 2022’sXandPearl.
He chose to test out his new disguise at The Grove, a heavily populated outdoor shopping mall in Los Angeles. FYI: It’s about nine minutes from Hollywood.
“Nobody recognized me,” Kevin said.
Living out his fantasy was different from what he expected.
“People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice,” he said.
“Nobody said, ‘I love you.'” He continued. “I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a fucking coffee or whatever.”
In the end, Kevin was not about the simple life.
“I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.”
Nobody recogizing him is wildly funny, considering thatKevin Baconis one of the most famous actors with a career dating back to the ’70s.
Kevin also played an invisible man inHollow Man, but it’s not so much fun in real life — is it?
As a Los Angeles resident, I seem to run into someone who looks like Kevin Bacon daily, so I don’t blame The Grove patrons for ignoring him. But how did they not recognize his voice?
