Since shooting to fame in 1984’s Footloose, Bacon has become one of Hollywood’s most prolific actors. Now’s your chance to grill him
Everybody loves the smell of Kevin Bacon in the morning – or at any point during the day or night. Hollywood’s enduringly boyish 64-year-old actor/dancer/mobile phone network salesman shot to fame in 1984’s Footloose, after smaller roles in Animal House, Friday the 13th and Diner.
It was a breakthrough that hobbled – until he learned not to accept any role pitched as perfect for him (clean-cut, friendly, wholesome, twinkle-toed). Cue a career of shifty and charming brilliance, from the salty sex worker in Oliver Stone’s JFK to the smug attorney in A Few Good Men to the stricken paedophile in The Woodsman.
