Kevin Bacon, the iconic actor known for his roles in "Footloose" and "Friday the 13th," has been a household name for over four decades. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Bacon shared his experience of going incognito in public by donning a prosthetic disguise created by a special effects makeup artist. Despite initially enjoying the anonymity, Bacon quickly realized he missed the recognition that comes with fame. Known for his versatility in portraying both likable and sinister characters, Bacon embraces darker roles without concern for the audience's perception of him. In his new films, "MaXXXine" and "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," Bacon once again plays the villain. He remains unapologetic about his portrayal of complex characters, emphasizing that his goal is to create compelling stories regardless of how viewers may react. "MaXXXine" is currently in theaters, while "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" is available for streaming on Netflix.
