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?

I think it might be 4. My friend once accidentally bumped into Kylie Minoogue and nudged her off a pavement in Fulham, and Kylie had a Bacon number of 2.

lol. There is a website called something like six degrees of Kevin bacon - I told DH’s friend this about 20 years ago and said give me a name To prove it wrong so he says “Thora Hird” (sorry nonUK Mumsnetters) and it still worked!!

FFS. My phone seemed to go to page 2 of this thread. So I know there is the oracle of KB website!!

I'm a 3.

Spoke to Liam Neeson years ago without knowing who he was. He's a 2.

I'm a three via Benedict Cumberbatch.

And a less impressive 5 via Val Kilmer. Although there is a family connection there

I had never heard of this, i think i am a 4, my great uncle was an actor, Simon Lack, he was a 2...

5 (although I may be able to do it mother way and get less!).
My friend knew the man from Newport that Drew Barrymore married years ago. Drew Barrymore was in a film with Tommy Lee Jones, who was in a film with KB.
This stiff fascinates me!

Stuff, this stuff!

I'm a 4 via many different routes as I've worked with a lot of (very minor) celebs.

My best one is 3 because I went to the same school as Judi Dench.

I also went to Judy Dench's school but havent met her.

I'm a 4 via courtney love on to Roddy Bottum from faith no more to someone I know

4 is my best so far, my sister is friends with Dylan Sprouse, who was in a film with Charlize Theron who was in a film with KB. Tomorrow I’ll try & see if I can reduce it at all.

4 via knowing someone in Rosamund Pike's family.

My husband shares his first name, and I like bacon...that count??

I have met Prince Harry and Harry and Kevin are 7th cousins once removed.

I assisted a dentist who was treating Bob Monkhouse, who starred in Secret People with Meg Jenkins

Meg was in The Wild and the Willing with John Hurt

John Hurt was in Jan Mansfield's Car with Kevin Bacon

I know Miriam Margolyes so I’m a 2

Sadly Harry isn’t listed on that oracle site....is my number 2 though?

1. Met Neil Jordan when he was filming Michael Collins with Liam Neeson, who is a 2.

Mind blown.

I needed help from google.

Kevin Bacon was with Brad Pitt in Sleepers. Brad Pitt was in The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey.

I stood next to the person who sold Kevin Spacey a ticket. So that makes me 4?

3, via Simon Callow.

3 via walking past Robert Pattinson in Tesco, who has a Bacon Score of 2. Does that count?

4, via Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd??? Does he look as ageless as he appears?

4 via Arnold Schwarzenegger.
