So you can apparently be connected to Kevin Bacon in 6 connections or less.

I’m connected in two.

My friend did a tv advert with him.

How are you connected IRL to Kevin Bacon?

I suspect my familial connection to Tom Jones probably gets me close. Oracle of Bacon is garbage though, right?

I was a nanny for an Oscar winning special effects whiz. He had been in the business for years and I specifically asked him about KB. He said he was one of the good guys.

3 - I have a friend in the film industry so checking some of the actors she’s worked with I’m an easy 3. I also once had my hair cut (when I was an extra/background performer) in the same trailer as David Tennant, so that also gives me a 3 (no idea why I got put in the actor’s hair and makeup trailer, that was bizarre!).

@CogDiss

JFK is a Bacon of four.

3 an ex-colleague was an extra in atonement, starring James Mcavoy who was in X-men with Kevin Bacon

cardibach · 11/07/2020 22:13

So my mum knew Tom Jones, who was in Mars Attacks! With Martin Short who was in The Bog Picture with Kevin Bacon, so I have 4 degrees of separation.

thegirlanachronism · 11/07/2020 22:14

My uncle worked with Kyle Minogue who was in a film with someone who was in another film with Kevin Bacon.

Gillian1980 · 11/07/2020 22:14
I used to live in the same apartment building as Lawrence Fishburne, who was in Mystic River with KB.
PeppermintPasty · 11/07/2020 22:14

Does he know Jude Law do you reckon? My mate used to go out with him, so does that mean I’m 3 or 4?

Oh I’ve just looked at the website, very good. JL is a 2. Guess I’m a 4.

No real idea what I’m wittering on about.

Littlegoth · 11/07/2020 22:15

2 - last year I met Brendan Fraser who was in The Air I Breathe with Kevin Bacon

SimonJT · 11/07/2020 22:16

I know Josh Groban so that makes it 2 degrees.

ChangeThePassword · 11/07/2020 22:17

Not as bad as I thought.

I worked on a film that starred Laura Fraser. She starred in Iron Jawed Angels with Frances O Connor
She starred in Jayne Mansfields's Car with Kevin Bacon

So 3.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 11/07/2020 22:18

Bit of a stretch but I've bumped into Richard Ayoade a couple of times who was in a movie with Miariam Margolyes who was in a film with him?

So 3? Grin

candycane222 · 11/07/2020 22:18

So an old school friend of mine once worked for Tim Brooke Taylor (God rest his soul) who was in a film with Helena Bonham Carter who was in a film with KB so that makes me a 4? Now racking my brains to see if I can get it down to a 3!

RaininSummer · 11/07/2020 22:18

A tenuous 5 as suzi quatro once went in my mother's shop. Suzi has a bacon factor of 3 so then there's my mum and then me. 5?

moonbells · 11/07/2020 22:20
  1. Have met Stephen Furst (Flounder in Animal House).
candycane222 · 11/07/2020 22:20

Did it! I met Michael Palin once who's a 2 via Jamie Lee Curtis.

sonjadog · 11/07/2020 22:21

I am a 5. Someone I knew at university went on to become a famous TV personality, who is friends with someone who became an actress who acted in a film with Emma Thompson, who is 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon according to the Oracle.

I feel it could be streamlined a bit. Will have another go...

KerbsideViolet · 11/07/2020 22:21

3: I’ve met Kelly Brook who was in Piranha 3D with Elisabeth Shue who was in Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon

mollypuss1 · 11/07/2020 22:24

I’ve met Tim Burton, who was married to Helena Bonham Carter, who was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon. I think that’s 3.

GreenGordon · 11/07/2020 22:32

3 Live in same village as a game of thrones actor who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon

GreenGordon · 11/07/2020 22:33

Sorry, got actor who was in a movie with Chris pine, who was in a movie with KB

HUCKMUCK · 11/07/2020 22:38

I am a direct connection because, in my head at least, I am married to him 😊

PeppermintPasty · 11/07/2020 22:38

Oh that reminds me, I’ve met Miriam Margolyes as she filmed at my house years ago...So guess I’m a 2 ha! this is silly Grin

WindsorBlues · 11/07/2020 22:39

I'm a 4 as I've meet the Queen who has a bacon number of 3.
