Kevin Bacon celebrates milestone 66th birthday in style

One of the most recognizable Hollywood actors just celebrated his 66th birthday. On this occasion, he posted a picture on his social media where he poses casually in an unbuttoned shirt. His famous wife rushed to the comments section.

Kevin Bacon is undoubtedly a Hollywood legend, with a career spanning decades. His real breakthrough came with the role in the movie "Footloose" in 1984. Thanks to his character Ren McCormack, he quickly became a pop culture icon and has firmly established himself in the pantheon of Hollywood stars.

He demonstrated his acting prowess in Oliver Stone’s acclaimed "JFK" (1991) and – a year later – in "A Few Good Men" by Rob Reiner, alongside Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and Demi Moore. This led to further offers coming in. In 1994, he co-starred with Meryl Streep in "The River Wild," earning his first Golden Globe nomination. He also won the coveted award for his role in "Taking Chance" in 2009.

Currently, a horror movie featuring him, "MaXXXine," is showing in theatres, while on Netflix, you can watch him in the new installment of "Beverly Hills Cop," where he plays a corrupt cop.

On his popular Instagram account (he has almost 5 million followers!), the actor posted a picture where he is casually lying on a stone shore, possibly wet from a cool dip during a hot summer. His unbuttoned shirt reveals his chest.

Fans left birthday wishes and compliments on the actor’s great shape in the comments. Even Kevin’s wife, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress Kyra Sedgwick, left a joking comment: "Not too shabby!"

David Duchovny, who is only slightly younger than Bacon, also decided to showcase the body of a mature man. In his latest film, which he directed himself, there is a nude scene, and it is deliberately comical.

In one of his recent interviews, Kevin Bacon revealed that he decided to conduct an unusual experiment. Along with special effects assistants, he prepared a disguise to feel like an average citizen for a day. "I met with a special effects expert, and after a few consultations, I asked him to create a very convincing disguise," Bacon said. His goal was to understand life without constant fan and paparazzi attention. After a few hours in the shoes of an "ordinary mortal," he concluded that it was not for him and that he wanted to be famous again.
