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 old childminder had worked for Mia Farrow who's a 3, so I'm a 5....?

But I also know a broadsheet culture/entertainment editor whose Bacon score must be 1 or 2, so I might be a 3 in that direction 🤷‍♀️

Mine has been reduced by meeting Stephen Tompkinson, who is a 2.

I can do a 3 via a Gabriel Byrne direct contact too

I have 3, I served Rowan Atkinson, who was in the Lion King with Nathan Lane, who was in He Said She Said with him

This is such fun! I have had a kiss from Anthony Stewart Head (on the cheek before anyone gets too envious) who has a Bacon number of 3

3 - I met and chatted with Timothy West who was in A Room With a View with Elizabeth McGovern who was in She's Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon.

3 - I met and chatted with Martin Clunes who was in Shakespeare in Love with Colin Firth who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon.

But the Oracle of Bacon also says ex PM Gordon Brown was in a film called Only God Forgives so I'm not entirely convinced on my link there

Ooh - I've met Dawn French who has a Bacon number of 2, which reduces mine to 3...

And Sam West, who I've also met has a Bacon number of 2 too.

@HesterLee

Gordon Brown was in Only God Forgives, but probably not the Gordon Brown you're thinking of

3 through a few people 😮

Updating this as I have asked DS the question about his own connection. He went to school with James Maddison, who appeared in an EE advert with Kevin Bacon. So that makes him a 2, right?

I was in a small venue and he was sitting in front of me. Apparently. I had to be told he was there and who he was.

Does that count as one?

I got a four via Mark Owen who lived in our village in the 90s.

But no picture, so maybe it was him

Ooh, I think I'm a 3
I went to school with Nick Moran who was in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels with Jason Flemyng who was in
X - Men: First Class with Kevin Bacon.

I'm a 3 - went to school with Rosamund Pike who was in The Libertine with Johnny Depp who was in Black Mass with Kevin Bacon.

1. I was an extra in a film with Sean Astin who was in a film with Kevin Bacon.

My DH did drama at college with Gary Oldman’s son, Gary Oldman was in JFK with Kevin Bacon. So is that 3?

I have a friend who works in the film industry and worked on a film with Bob Hoskins who was in a film with Kevin bacon

This gives me 3 then. An ex BF worked with Bob Hoskins before he was an actor.

It could be less though. Kevin Bacon was filming a BT ad in my local high street and I saw him from the bus!

I ate a bacon sandwich about a month ago.

Had to use the oracle. Friends family member is a very famous actor who has been in lots of films. Interesting that the missing step is Colin Farrell.

Possibly 4, my ex was friends withKevin McKidd from Train Spotting, EwanMcGregor is 2 steps away.

In fact Kevin McKidd has a level of 2

An old friend from school is Annie Lennox’s cousin, Annie did some of the music for Apollo 13 which starred Kevin Bacon. Don’t know if they ever met though?
Is that a 3?

I have 2 options, I met the Spice Girls on work experience when I was in my teens. Bob Hoskins was in Spice World and another movie with Kevin Bacon.
Calista Flockhart unexpectedly arrives to the castle I had got married in on the day after our wedding when we were having our breakfast. She is married to Harrison Ford who has been in a movie with someone who has been in another movie with Kevin Bacon.
