Kevin Bacon Recalls Disguising Himself as a Normal Person for 1 Day: ‘This Sucks’

Kevin Bacon wanted a taste of regular life for a day — and he learned it was not for him.

“I have a face that’s pretty recognizable,” Bacon, 65, said in an interview with Vanity Fair published on Wednesday, July 3. “Putting my hat and glasses on is only going to work to a certain extent.”

So Bacon had the idea to have a custom disguise made that would make him unrecognizable in a crowd.

“I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise,” he explained.

Bacon’s new look included fake teeth, a prosthetic nose and glasses. The actor decided to take the getup for a spin at one of the most popular attractions in Los Angeles, The Grove, which is an outdoor mall.
