Very light hearted 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon

[Singlebutmarried]

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?

My brother works for EE. Does that count as a connection?

4 (or 6 if you count the kids). I had a friend who was a nanny who used to pick up kids from play dates with Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter. Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Country Strong with Garrett Hedlund, who 4. appeared with Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence.

My brother used to do this on the 90s.

He'd ask for someone's name and then connect back to him.

Ooh I can also do 3 via the queen and 6ish via Bill Oddie

1 if we are just talking about meeting him, work wise 4

I shook hands with Axl Rose and I’m sure that he must have shaken hands with Kevin Bacon at some point......so yeah, me, Axl and Kevin

3 via Peter Capaldi.

I think I’m a 3 as I’ve met Carrie fisher who is a 2.

My sister went out with Leonard Nimoy's cousin (I met the cousin multiple times, so I will count them as my direct connection, instead of going via my sister), so 4, as LN is 2 from KB.

@JaneJeffer

Where's everyone getting other people's numbers from? Is there a Baconometer somewhere?

Thanks rosie

@PeppermintPasty it was indeed - at GSMD. Were you there too?! I was a year below him but worked on one of the musicals with him.

I once interviewed Joe Trohman from Fall Out Boy (they weren't as famous then!) who according to the Oracle of Bacon site is a 2 as he was in the Young Blood Chronicles with Courtney Love who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon. So I guess I'm a 3!

5
I know someone whose child acted opposite Catherine Deneuve, and she's a 2 on the Oracle

That’s strange indeed, @EineReiseDurchDieZeit! I thought you’d been on the thread further up-and them realised you were on the thread straight after me. Weird coincidence!

I met Christian Slater and he was in a movie called "Murder In The First" with Kevin Bacon so, one.

I once danced on stage with Michael Barrymore...
Who was in Spice World with Bob Hoskins...
Who was in Balto with...

Kevin Bacon!

So what’s that? 3?

Just read back and surprised to see another person who met Christian Slater and is connected to KB through him. I met him when he was doing "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" in The West End.

I bumped into Pierce Brosnan who was in a film with Bob Hoskins who was in a film with Kevin Bacon.

Even better I got Brad Pitt’s autograph and he was in a film with Kevin Bacon.

4 via a friend whose relation was in a film with him.

Ooh exciting. I am a 3 as I've met Judi Dench, who is a 2. And if the Queen is a 2, as mentioned upthread, then DD is a 4 via that route as she has met Prince William.

1. An old colleague was in GoT, and Kit Harington is two degrees separated from KB.

One, because of Colin Firth and John Cleese, but otherwise lots of 2s through Emma Thomson, Sylvester Stallone, Olivia Colman and David Attenborough.

5 for me.
I went to school with Rick Astley who was a Stock Aitken and Waterman act, as was Kylie Minogue. Kylie is a 2.
