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…?
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.
I didn’t read that as “he didn’t realize those things” but as “he didn’t think he’d care as much as he did”. Like, it’s easy to say “I could go without X” but actually doing it is different. That’s a universally true experience that seems more likely than “Kevin Bacon thought average people get to skip lines and have strangers say I love you”
it’s amazing what constant praise and unlimited favors will do to your brain.
I’d say an inability to recognize sarcasm, leading someone to take statements obviously said with tongue firmly in cheek at face value, is also worse.
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.
My Kevin Bacon number is two. I know a guy who was an extra in tremors. I have no other achievements in life, so this will have to do.
Mine is 3 my brother was in an indi film with an actress who was in a movie with him. I’m pretty sure she was one of the three main characters in The craft I just can’t remember her name.
https://oracleofbacon.org/ Mine is 4. But I live in Europe.
<joke> Perhaps <internet high five /> is a self-closing html5 tag and they omitted the slash as allowed by the spec </joke>
Now I’m planning to only go out in the disguise of Kevin Bacon, so people love me and I get my coffee faster
I certainly hope that now he, as Kevin Bacon, walks around telling strangers he loves them. Since now he knows how much it sucks to be a nobody.
