He is talented
He is happy to take the mickey out of himself
He has been married since 1988 (to another gorgeous and talented actor)
He has Pygmy goats as pets
He is gorgeous
He is an actor, a musician and a comedian
He is a dedicated parent
He sparked one of the most fun games of the 90s
He went viral (with said game) before going viral was even a thing

Have I missed anything?! What do you think? and if not Kevin Bacon then who should I be in love with and why?

Kevin, is that you?

Nuco · 16/02/2022 11:33

Hi Kevin

JasperHale · 16/02/2022 11:33

I was with you until EE ads. Never thought I could have enough of KB. I can't stand his face being everywhere now. Or a while ago. Fell out of love I must say 🤷‍♀️

LampLighter414 · 16/02/2022 11:34

Do you like the EE ads?

SpaceyCake · 16/02/2022 11:38

I'm not in love with Kevin but I have always liked him. He's one of those comforting people that have been around and relatively unchanged forever (or at least when I first saw him in Friday the 13th about 25 years ago). Grin

I've been meaning marry Kevin Bacon since I was about 15. I used to have pics of him from Footloose on my bedroom wall.

Still have a soft spot for him (although he still hasn't accepted my proposal).

MrPoppysParka · 16/02/2022 11:47

Are you sure you’re not just confusing him with Roger from American Dad?

SnapperAqua893 · 16/02/2022 11:47

Tremors film

Fuzzy303 · 16/02/2022 11:52

Totally agree. The ads are so grating
Pinkywoo · 16/02/2022 11:55

If you want to cure yourself of this just watch Sleepers, I know he was acting but fuck he's horrible in that!

Badnightguaranteed · 16/02/2022 12:05

He’s brilliant in I love Dick

Gingernaut · 16/02/2022 12:08

Six degrees of Kevin Bacon

VelvetChairGirl · 16/02/2022 12:11

I understand OP but you are wrong, Robert Downey Junior is better.

here is a list of reasons why RDJ is better.

Number 1: He is Robert Downey Junior.......

I rest my case.

iklboo · 16/02/2022 12:14

Crepuscularshadows · 16/02/2022 14:08

He helps strangers from the Midwest find their way around New York when they're lost.

I live by the mantra "what would Kevin bacon do?"

VelvetChairGirl · 16/02/2022 15:13

Lilifer · 16/02/2022 23:01

Loved him in Murder in the First (his wife starred in that too) and of course Footloose - magic feet

XelaM · 16/02/2022 23:11

Omg I LOVE Kevin Bacon!!!! "A Few Good Men" is still my favourite role of his. He was SO hot!!!

Have you seen "I love Dick" on Prime with Kevin Bacon? Grin It's utter trash (and pure porn for the most part) but Kevin Bacon is the object of e main character's obsession. He plays Dick Grin
