“I had to stand in line to buy a damn coffee!” Kevin Bacon put on makeup to find out what it’s like not to be famous and could safely say he wasn’t a fan

Source – Kevin Bacon recently tried out life as a non-famous person, putting on elaborate disguises to see what life would be like if he wasn’t recognized as a person. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Factor actor said he soon came to the conclusion, “This is crap.”

Bacon, who is currently starring in Ti West’s horror film MaXXXine, told VF: “I’m not complaining, but my face is pretty recognizable. Putting on a hat and glasses only works to a certain extent.”

So, Bacon said, “I went to a special effects makeup artist, got some advice, and asked him to make me a prosthetic costume.”

According to VF, he was accessorized with false teeth, a slightly different nose and glasses. When he tried out the look at The Grove mall in Los Angeles, “nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But things soon turned around. “People were kind of pushing past me and not being nice. Nobody said ‘I love you.’ I had to stand in line to buy, I don’t know, fucking coffee or whatever. I was like, this sucks. I want to be famous again,” he told VF.

Unbelievable. Probably the most confident statement in the history of statements. I love how he just openly admits that being famous is a trillion times better than being a “normal person.” Most celebrities would play coy, but not Kevin. Old Ren McCormack ass will tell you straight… and you know what? Being famous is awesome. To be honest, he’s not exactly Taylor Swift, but he is definitely famous. So famous that he ONE time had to wait in line for coffee and was so shaken by the process that he talked about it in an interview with Vanity Fair. God bless him.

I have to agree with him. In the tiny time that I barely in public, I can honestly say it’s pretty sweet. Every now and then someone says hello or buys me a beer. What’s not to like? I have nothing to complain about at all. Anyway, I liked Kevin Bacon before and I like him even more now. You heard it here first, everyone should be famous. It’s a blast.
