To think that Kevin Bacon has got better with age?

Just what the title of the thread says really.
One of those annoying adverts to do with mobile phones and the Internet has just been screened and all I kept thinking was "Kevin Bacon mmmmm!"
I was never in to him when he starred in footloose.
Does this mean I'm getting old although if it does I'll gladly take it!

I liked him back then and now.

He's well tasty.

They never look that great in RL. I'm always shocked how haggard all the comedy blokes off the telly look when you go to see them live.

Jason Orange is my example of one I wouldn't have touched with someone else's but now he's aged I'd consider it.

Snap Smile I posted exactly the same yesterday. YADNBU. He has become a bit of a sex god in my opinion. Yet a few years ago I never gave him a second thought. Definitely better with age

I am loving the influx of kevin bacon threads just so I can yum at random Grin

Funny, I was just thinking of his white t-shirt in Footloose ...

I didn't think to search for other threads as I thought I would be alone in my feelings.
I love Kevin Bacon!
There I said it and I feel wonderfully liberated! Grin

No you are not alone (haha - I am Notalone Grin) But seriously, he does look very very good now and shows we must have very good taste Smile

I am just glad I'm not alone in my daydreams! Grin
At least there are somethings good about getting old!
I've noticed over the past few months that there are quite a few men that I wouldn't have looked at a few years ago but now I'm ( and they ) are getting older........!

Some men get better with age, Gary Barlow for instance, back when I was young I wouldnt have looked twice t him, now he's yummy. Kevin bacon has aged well, plus I like the fact that he's still happily married to his wife after 25 years or whatever, I like the nice guys ns rather than the ones who have new girlfriends very week,

LessMissAbs · 18/08/2013 01:33

YANBU. He looks good. Except for the neck. Question is, would the neck rule him out?

saulaboutme · 18/08/2013 04:12

YANBU.

So good to see him again ( 4 am dreamin lol)

I have loved KB for a long time. Ever since I saw She's Having a Baby - anyone seen it? Terrible title but actually very entertaining/sweet film - Elizabeth McGovern is his co-star (her from Downton). The music is fab and KB sooo hot Grin

debbie1412 · 18/08/2013 07:02

You should all download the following!!! It's a series with him starring.yum yum !

thismousebites · 18/08/2013 07:13

I loved She's Having a Baby, especially that song near the end, was it Kate Bush?
Anyway, KB has got better looking as he has got older. Most blokes do. Sadly, the same cannot be said for us womenSad

thismousebites · 18/08/2013 07:15

And he was great in The Following. Near me there was a huge advertising board with his face on it just before this series came out. I nearly crashed the car on many an ocassion driving past it!

filee777 · 18/08/2013 07:16

People tell my DH that he looks like Kevin bacon...

AntoinetteCosway · 18/08/2013 07:28

He has definitely improved with age, as has Jason Orange. I can't believe I ever fancied Mark Owen over Jason...Grin

ComtesseDeFrouFrou · 18/08/2013 07:30

Yes. His face has sort of calmed down somehow. And I've only ever seen him in films where he's very serious - even in Footloose he takes himself very seriously all the time. I like it when he's smiling in those ads and the fact that he's having a bit of a laugh at himself.

Irishchic · 18/08/2013 09:58

I cant do links but there is a great episode of Will and Grace which features Kevin Bacon, its a classic! I love the guy.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/08/2013 10:16

DH was watching "Stir of Echos" on Fri but fell asleep at the bit where KB was digging (No Spoilers Grin ) and I had to watch it on my own .

He's definately improved with age.

And alongside Jason Orange and Gary Barlow. What about Howard from Take That (the one that no-one could remember his name) Blush

I love Kevin Bacon. Always have. And now he's on nearly every ad break with his conga and his shed I am well happy. I always say he can look at my everything everywhere whenever he likes.

Loved Tremors, She's Having a Baby, he was yum.

(Other fab older men-Rob Lowe and John Taylor) Smile

Gullygirl · 18/08/2013 11:19

Love,love,love Kevin Bacon, ever since I saw him in JFK.
