We have all seen a commercial that has scarred us for life, and for me it was those creepy Burger King ads. Well for Kyra Sedgwick it is any commercial with talking food. Her husband Kevin Bacon was on The Tonight Show yesterday and he told Jay Leno it all started with the California Raisins commercial and continued from there. So when he was offered a commercial where he would be a talking peanut and an M, he turned it down because his marriage is more important. But Six Degrees man, telling the TV world about her phobia might not be helping your marriage. It might be a Closer, with a bad Following.
Kyra Sedgwick was on Conan and she told Conan O’Brien how Kevin Bacon wooed her about a quarter of a century ago. They were filming a movie called Lemon Sky, and at the end of the day of filming he would ask everyone who would want to go to dinner. Well every time he asked, she said no even though she was the only one he wanted to join him. Finally after a few weeks he concocted a plan to possibly finally get this date he so desperately he desired. Well when you hear her tell the story, let me know if you think it is sweet or stalkery? I am going with sweet because they have been married for 24 years and they are still going strong.
But if for some reason they get a divorce and he is back on the market again, it is a lot easier to straight out ask a girl then do all of that other stuff he did…and cheaper
Almost every actor in Hollywood is 6 Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon, so it would make sense that his dog would be an equally good thespian as the actor himself. In this home video obtained by Funny or Die, we see his pup play dead and he does it better than any canine ever has. Seriously I really believed that man best’s friend had crossed over to Rainbow Bridge. He did a better job than most of the actors I have seen on one of those CSI and Law & Order episodes.
Last week Footloose and came out and thankfully barely anyone saw it. Well now that it is week two someone very important saw it and that person is Ren McCormack himself. That’s right Kevin Bacon wasted money on the remake and here is what he said about it, “F-Loose! Just saw it. Congrats to Craig, Kenny, Julianne, Dennis,Andie, Miles, and the rest of the cast. U guys rocked it!” He is a bigger man than me because like most moviegoers, I refuse to give this remake any of my hard earned money.
Could you imagine Footloose without Kevin Bacon? Well according the actor, who is six degrees from every actor in Hollywood, that was almost the case. He told Details magazine, “Craig Zadan, one of the producers on both films (referring to the sh!tty remake that’s coming out in the fall), actually found my screen test in a vault and sent it to me. What had been going on back then was the producers and the director wanted me, but the head of the studio famously said, ‘He’s just not fuckable.’ So they went and did their own screen test. Watching it, I got a chance to see this kid with this hunger and ambition and energy. There were parts of myself that I didn’t even recognize. You could just see that I was going to fuckin’ go in there and kill it.” Thankfully he nailed the screen test because he is the only actor that I could ever see playing Ren McCormack.
BTW according to Rob Lowe’s must read autobiography Stories I Only Tell My Friends, he auditioned for the role, but he blew his knew and the audition when he attempted that infamous slide that Bacon perfected!
