Kevin Bacon, the renowned 65-year-old actor, reflects on his journey in the entertainment industry, including a Golden Globe win. Surprisingly, Bacon admitted to never watching his own performances until recently, a revelation he shared in a recent interview.
Initially hesitant about television, Bacon credits his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, for changing his mind. He admired Sedgwick’s versatility in acting, finding inspiration in her ability to transform into different characters, akin to Meryl Streep.
Bacon’s career began in 1976 when he moved to New York with minimal funds, residing in a modest apartment he found through a newspaper ad. Despite challenges, his career flourished. In 1987, he met Sedgwick on set, eventually winning her over with persistence.
Their relationship blossomed, leading to marriage and the joy of raising two children. Today, they enjoy family life on a farm, reflecting on Bacon’s journey from humble beginnings to Hollywood success.
