Kevin Bacon, the famous and handsome 65-year-old actor, has had quite a journey in the movie industry. He even won a Golden Globe for one of his projects on HBO. But before his television success, Bacon never watched any of his own performances.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, Bacon shared that he initially had reservations about working in TV. He admitted, \u201cIf my agent had called me and said, \u2018I think you should do a series,\u2019 I would have fired my agent.\u201d However, thanks to his actress wife, Kyra Sedgwick, he changed his mind.<\/p>\n
Bacon talked about how he enjoyed spending time with Sedgwick on the show they both starred in and attending award ceremonies together. He revealed, \u201cYou know, when I started to see her film work\u2026 and it\u2019s like barely recognizable, and to me, that was what I had always envisioned being an actor was, to be able to put on these different hats and become different people.\u201d Bacon found inspiration in Sedgwick\u2019s ability to transform into various characters, just like Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s rewind to 1976 when Bacon moved from his hometown of Philadelphia to New York. He had visited the city before with his sister, but this time, he was making a permanent move. Initially, he stayed with his sister, but when he finally found a place of his own, he had a mere $150 to his name for the entire month.<\/p>\n
Bacon recalled, \u201cI don\u2019t know where I got the math on that, but that\u2019s\u2026what I had decided.\u201d He stumbled upon an ad in The Village Voice for an apartment that catered to artists, actors, and musicians. It turned out to be a flophouse, but it was all he could afford. For four years, Bacon shared a rental office with a pianist.<\/p>\n
Despite his challenging living situation, Bacon\u2019s acting career took off, and he changed his life for the better. In 1987, he met Kyra Sedgwick on the set of the movie \u201cLemon Sky.\u201d It was love at first sight for Bacon, but Sedgwick wasn\u2019t immediately smitten.<\/p>\n
However, Bacon\u2019s persistence paid off, and they eventually went on their first date. They had a wonderful time, laughing for hours over a romantic dinner. Sedgwick realized that Bacon was meant for her, and they have been each other\u2019s biggest support and fans ever since.<\/p>\n
Together, they raised two children, Travis and Sosie, who are now in their 30s. Bacon found immense joy in being a father and always tried to instill honesty, integrity, and care for the world and one another in his children. As Sedgwick puts it, \u201cA sense of humor is crucial. He is very freaking funny.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, Bacon enjoys his life on a farm with his family. From his humble beginnings of living on a tight budget to achieving success in Hollywood, Bacon\u2019s journey is an inspiration to many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
