Before Kevin Bacon starred in Flatliners, he was a flat line on the street in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He looks the same now as he did when he was 19 in that 1978 movie.
Kevin Bacon shared a video of himself, and I am wondering if the Footloose star has a screw loose. That is because he shaved off half of his facial hair and started talking to himself from both sides of his mouth.
So do we have to worry about him? Not at all, he was just having some fun. And we all need that. In the same way, he doesn’t need to change up his look because the half-mustache is working for him.
Because sometimes you feel like a horseshoe and sometimes you don’t. Plus, it is exactly what his Vaudeville act needs.
Troma has finally made it! Kevin Bacon is one of the stars of their Toxic Avenger remake, which stars Peter Dinklage as the title role!
When a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.
Radioactive, just like all Troma films!
And it looks like this delayed remake is bringing the movie studio into the 21st century with fun, gore, and special effects. Normally, I would say that is a bad thing. But with the genius that comes from Lloyd Kaufman, that is a great thing. Nothing toxic here!
Which is why it is awesome that it is being released unrated on August 29th! They can be as outrageous as they want to be, and I am sure they will be.
If you have never seen the original Toxic Avenger, you can watch it on Troma.com for free.
Kenny Loggins’ song Footloose is as synonymous with Kevin Bacon as it is with the movie. Therefore, it makes sense that when a DJ sees the actor at a wedding, they put it on the rotation. And Bacon hates it. However, it is not why you think he does.
“The reason is, I mean, it sounds like it, it sounds sort of obnoxious because the movie was so great for me and we played in the band. And I’ve played the song, you know, a million times. And the star at the wedding is the bride and the groom,” he told Drew Barrymore on her talk show today. “So if you go to a wedding, it always starts, this is, so many times it starts out cool, and then, you know, the drinking starts. And at about 10 o’clock, the, the DJ plays that song. People kind of form a circle around me and start clapping like I’m a trained monkey. I mean, and expect me to, you know, do a thing and I just, my feeling is I’m not the I’m not the focus here like the, you know, it’s, it’s gotta be about those two people so that’s why I tend to not want to hear it at a wedding.”
That makes perfect sense. I love that he has remained so humble, even though every actor is Six Degrees away from him, including me!
