Kevin Bacon, the well-known actor from “Footloose,” recently decided to experience life as an ordinary person by donning an elaborate disguise. In a Vanity Fair interview, he shared that he wore fake teeth, a changed nose, and glasses to blend in with the public.
Despite his four-decade-long successful career in Hollywood, Bacon found it challenging to go unrecognized. He even sought the help of a special effects makeup artist to create a prosthetic disguise that made him look like his character from his upcoming horror film “MaXXXine.”
Bacon wore his disguise to The Grove LA, a popular outdoor mall in Los Angeles, and successfully went unnoticed. However, he quickly realized that being a regular person was not as enjoyable as he thought. He missed the attention and perks of being a celebrity and decided to return to his A-list status.

– Starred in the iconic 1984 film “Footloose”
