Kevin Bacon has been famous for decades. He once applied a disguise to experience life on the other side of fame, and he didn’t enjoy it.
Kevin Bacon is no stranger to fame.
After decades in Hollywood, the prolific actor has become a household name. But he once decided to try life outside the spotlight. To do this, he used prosthetics and accessories to form a disguise, but he didn’t like what happened.
«I’m not complaining, but I have a face that’s pretty recognizable», Bacon explained in a new interview with Vanity Fair. «Putting my hat and glasses on is only going to work to a certain extent.»
To be able to truly be unrecognizable, he said, «I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise.»
With the makeup artist’s help, he was given a new nose and new teeth. After adding accessories, he ventured out to The Grove, a popular outdoor shopping center in Los Angeles.
«Nobody recognized me», he recalled.
