When he tested the look at outdoor Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, “Nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But the tide evidently soon turned. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.”
Lmao this has to be a joke. Is this really what life is like for these people? No one said “I love you” to a stranger at the mall? He had to wait in lines? Maybe the most eye-opening thing about this is that Kevin seemed to expect to be treated more or less the same way he is as a celebrity, just without the selfies, which says to me that he thought everyone gets treated the same way famous people do. Sometimes it’s interesting to get a reminder of how out of touch these people really are.
It’s super obviously a joke, probably with a large dose of mareting stunt.
Just curious, how’s it obvious? We supposed to Google his movie release schedule…? Text him to see what’s going on…?
What’s obvious to you because you have nothing better to read than media news all day is actually not obvious to 99.99% of other people.
Who would have fucking thought…………
Did you somehow forget how seriously out of touch all the celebrities were during covid? Because going off of previous precedence… yeah they are seriously out of touch and this is exactly how a lot would be expected to act…
So… how’s is it obvious…? Lmfao.
The quoted statements from Kevin Bacon are obviously sarcastic… or do you not understand sarcasm…? Maybe if… he used more ellipses…?
Did you somehow forget how seriously out of touch all the celebrities were during covid? Because going off of previous precedence…
Is it sarcastic? Or is he just being out of touch like 99% of other celebrities… its obviously that, how’s it obviously sarcasm…?
Yes it’s sarcastic, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me bro. I don’t even really understand why this was recycled at the beginning of the Vanity Fair interview, which the OP didn’t link straight to for some unknown reason, because it’s from an interview he did on a talk show back in TWENTY FUCKING SEVENTEEN.

I found that after not even 15 seconds on google. Like I typed in “Kevin Bacon disguise interview”, did two top to bottom screen swipes, and saw the YouTube thumbnail. You have no excuse for acting this indignant about shit when information is as easy to look up as it is in 2024.
Also bro quoting yourself comes across as a tad unhinged.
it’s obvious because it’s ridiculous and humorous. not because of his schedule.
You could also read the article the headline is referencing. No need to Google anything.
Where can I find that information in the linked article? It mentions nothing of Bacons future plans or why he did the stunt.
If you want to try to claim someone didn’t read an article, atleast make sure the information wasn’t from another first or something dude……
Very first paragraph for starters.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F actor…
Second paragraph:
Bacon, who is also currently starring in Ti West’s horror pic MaXXXine…
A short read further:
“I honestly feel very grateful for where I happen to be. That I can have two totally different movies coming out within a couple of days of each other, and completely different roles.
Come on, man. Are you intentionally being ridiculous?
Very first paragraph for starters.
Old movies….
Second paragraph
This was supposed to obvious about upcoming stuff, what’s relevant about current projects….?
A short read further:
Th is paragraph more reads past tense, how does this say he has new movies coming out without prior knowledge…?
I read the article, clearly you didn’t and are conflating articles or are bringing prior knowledge it and making connections.
Its okay to be wrong….
Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F is a brand new movie and is a sequel to previous BHC movies.
That being said, I agree with you. Nothing about this article indicates that he was being humorous. If this were a video interview, there would be context. So if he was being a goof with a print interviewer, then that interviewer should have described him as such:
“He wasn’t a fan of ordinary life. ‘No one told me they loved me and I had to wait in line for coffee…it sucked!’, he quipped tongue-in-cheek about the experience.”
Something like that. Not indicating the attempt at humor just makes him sound like an asshole.
Plus, articles like this get run by a star’s publicist before they are printed. I am surprised Kevin Bacon’s PR person didn’t pick up on this.
All of you can’t hear the WOOSH of the joke going over your head?
He’s taking the piss here. He’s fucking around, it’s to drum up publicity for his movie.
It’s Lemmy. It’s always like this.
