Kevin Bacon, the famous and handsome 65-year-old actor, has had quite a journey in the movie industry. From his humble beginnings in Philadelphia to his success in Hollywood, his story is an inspiration to many.

A Reluctant Start in Television

Before his television success, Bacon had reservations about working on TV. In a recent interview, he admitted that if his agent had suggested doing a series, he would have fired them. But everything changed when he met his actress wife, Kyra Sedgwick.

Love and Inspiration

Bacon shared how he enjoyed working with Sedgwick on the show they starred in together. Being able to see her transform into different characters inspired him. He found joy in attending award ceremonies with Sedgwick, just like Meryl Streep. Their shared love and support for each other have been instrumental in their success.

From a Tight Budget to Stardom

In 1976, Bacon moved from Philadelphia to New York with only $150 to his name for the entire month. He found a place at a flophouse meant for artists, actors, and musicians. Despite the challenging living situation, Bacon’s acting career took off, changing his life for the better.

Love at First Sight

While working on the movie “Lemon Sky” in 1987, Bacon met Kyra Sedgwick. It was love at first sight for Bacon, although Sedgwick was not initially smitten. However, Bacon’s persistence paid off, and they eventually went on their first date, laughing for hours over a romantic dinner. They have been each other’s biggest support and fans ever since.
