Kevin Bacon on Being in a Band Called Footloose at 15, Meeting David Bowie & 35 Years of Marriage

[@Marcianna50]

What an amazing man. He never disappoints. Enjoy his acting, his dancing, his singing, his values and definitely admire the love he and Kyra share for each other and their family. Just an all around great human being. Love him!!

[@Frauenhaus]

Very true.

[@veronicagonzalez9947]

I didn’t want the interview to end. He is so down to earth and has great stories. Jimmy did a wonderful job asking the right questions and letting Kevin speak without being interrupted.

[@pamelabonaparte9383]

Kevin Bacon is an actor that when he’s on a talk show you know it’s going to be interesting and real . He never fails to just be delightful and have good stories to tell. Definitely a legend with diverse talent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖☺️

[@Sbannmarie]

He’s cool for sure Pamela

[@KelvinBacon-uw7hw]

Thank you all for the love and support towards me

[@brahmburgers]

Kevin. A real person who happens to b a Hollywood star. An anomaly, in a good way. My hat's off to you, sir (from a 70 yr old hermit in Hawaii).

[@ChubbyTeletubby]

70. On an island who's usual temp is 70!

[@susanbowman6652]

I concur. From a 76 year old semi-hermit living in the mountains of Costa Rica.

The highlight of my new 🏔️ mountain is it lights my high and enables my dark saber

[@VangeliRock]

How real and cool is KB eh. That was a funny and relaxed interview. Jimmy is killing it these days.

[@robertdemitro1520]

Kevin Bacon always down to earth and charming ! 👍🏻

[@VDash-Slesinski]

I love the car commercial Kevin did with his daughter. She looks so much like her mother. Kyra is awesome too.

[@michaelhubert-00youtube]

Hello Vicki, great comment that is 😊

[@KelvinBacon-uw7hw]

Thank you all for the love and support towards me.

[@lucy2014]

Kevin Bacon has always been on the top of my list. He's a great actor, a great person who is so down to earth and you never hear anything negative about him. He and Kyra love each other so much and they have a great family life. When he starred in the series "The Following" I watched every episode and when it was canceled, I bought all 3 seasons on Prime so I can watch it whenever I want. He really is an amazing person and a great actor!

[@KelvinBacon-uw7hw]

Thank you all for the love and support towards me

[@frankmcfall6599]

OMG. I also introduced my daughter to space oddity. I not only played Space oddity for my daughter but we acted it out, like floating in space and such. She became a fan and when she found out at age 7 that David Bowie was married she cried. I asked her why and she said it means she can’t marry him. Precious moments!!!

[@wistariawhispers937]

so special!

[@topper1212]

David Bowie is the best. RIP. 🙏♥️🙏

[@shethingsd]

I love how Kevin and Kyra do many projects together

[@KaldraJayd]

Only if her first pick drops out

[@우사민-r3c]

Kyra should have asked Kevin to do an audition.

[@michaelhubert-00youtube]

Hello dear, nice to meet you. How are you?

[@KelvinBacon-uw7hw]

Thank you all for the love and support towards me

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Kevin B seems so real and present, like he is a low-baggage adult human being; someone we might say is very well adjusted to adulthood and life. In that sense, he's a prince of a human being. It was great to see him here!

[@ryanelogan5540]

A class act! Long live Kevin Bacon!

[@KelvinBacon-uw7hw]

Thank you all for the love and support towards me

[@jostrong2385]

Loved the Bowie story.

[@SirVic42]

Wouldn't be surprised if he greenlighted the song license because he really wanted to hear a 10 year old girl sing one of his songs a cappella. He had that kind of artist's heart.

[@fizzedupslade4082]

Hearing that story about Bowie made me come over all emotional. Wasn't he great? Still feel sad about him not being here anymore. Thanks KB for this interview. ♥

[@Agent-wn7le]

He’s one of my favourite actors 😊

[@stoneyll]

Congrats on 35 years of marriage~!

[@PADS62]

I Love Kevin Bacon! 🥰 I'm so happy he's doing movies again! ❤️ Edit: I haven't been keeping up on the movies Kevin's been doing, as was pointed out to me. So take my original comment with a grain of salt. Lol 😉

[@randomlibra]

When did he stop?

[@PADS62]

@Kiwi Jello I'm so So sorry. I think I've not been keeping up on Kevin Bacon movies, so I'm going to change my comment. He's probably made A LOT of movies over the years. It was really early in the morning & I wasn't thinking about what I was saying. Thank you for asking!! 🥰

[@sharlamay1972]

Kevin bacon you and your wife share a special bon 35 years together is awesome not just because your celebrities it's about compassion and understanding your inspiring fan of both of you from belleville canada

[@lucasmagnet4859]

I loved watching Jimmy Kimmel give that beautiful cat a massage! It's clear that he really cares about animals and knows how to make them feel relaxed and comfortable. The cat looked like it was enjoying the massage so much, it almost put me to sleep! Thanks for sharing this heartwarming moment with us

[@rawthersramblings]

That’s a rock solid marriage - the old fashioned way !! Love both Kevin & Kyra.

[@우사민-r3c]

Kevin and Kyra lost a huge part of their fortune in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme but they never whined about it to the press or asked for anyone's sympathy. They simply worked hard over the years together in TV and film projects to rebuild it. I will always respect them for that.

[@kathypop4]

Everyone loves David Bowie

[@dondevice8182]

It’s so funny that their daughter, Sosie played her mother Kyra in that film, because in French “Sosie” means “lookalike/ twin”

[@cleanmikeandtheboys3165]

Just making sure the fact that Jimmy wants to conceal his abuse of children is not lost on the viewers.

[@Lisa-vk2jw]

The most talented under rated actor anywhere. He should have every award possible. He never disappoints

[@lawrenceiverson1924]

Geez , In my whole life i never made it more than 7 years and usually about 2 . I admire people that can stay married , I never could .

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I always wonder how some people are able to stay married for decades? There can’t be a secret to it,so what is it?

[@dianehartung5954]

I love David Bowie songs, Seen him 7 times!!!!!@

[@philipschifano5876]

Love the REAL baby story .. as parents i think We ALL have regrettful moments Nice of u to be so REAL 👍

[@itsajahthing]

Kevin and his daughter would be great in a sitcom if Kevin would be willing to do it!

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Beautiful story. I know it's a cliche, but this guy is a freaking national treasure.

[@jadedjhypsi]

What a great coop with Bowie and Bacon together in a sense =)

[@norreenetirona9277]

My favorite actor. Simply the best

[@MikesOrganicVideos]

My first car that I drove in high school was originally my grandfather’s car. It was a 1965 Mercury Park Lane. It had a 390 marauder engine in it and it really motored. I think the speedometer went up to 110 miles an hour. It had those small, triangular windows that you could rotate with a crank on either side in the front. Not sure they are the same as what Kevin was talking about, but if so, to answer, Kevin’s question, they actually worked quite well blowing air on you when you were driving fast. Felt like air-conditioning blowing cool air right at you. Without having to roll down the entire window. I am a big fan of Kevin Bacon. I was a little surprised that he didn’t think those triangular windows were a good idea. I guess he never actually tried using them while driving 45 to 65 mph.

[@Kreepyb5]

So much talent

[@janetperkins8949]

I saw Kevin and his brother, playing in Birmingham, AL…I had the cutest blue dress on! Music was fabulous

[@jc2delaga]

Good job Jimmy! Great interview! Kevin looks amazing 👍

[@heritagerestoration8370]

Was filmed a mile from us, had friends on the farm. Just really really nice and great people

[@damienknight1002]

Kevin Bacon is my childhood nightmare. He's Hollow Man, the character I regret seeing as a 5 year old kid because of my painfully extreme fear of human anatomy. However, from what I heard, he's a humble man in reality so that's good.

[@ToniHunterOne]

Congrats to you and Kyra, Kevin!!!!

[@13699111]

Great guest great interview thank you Jimmy Kimmel !!!

[@Slappy_]

You're on the list 👀

[@karenalexander9273]

Kevin was once asked the secret to his marriage and he said, "Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty." I think it may have been a quick red carpet question, not sure.

[@domimburgia935]

The legendary Kevin Bacon

[@mariepanimdim4303]

Congratulations Kevin on your 35 year marriage I’m so happy for you I’m also very jealous❤

[@waystadtymphyndir7079]

"Taking Chance" is his most epic performance. I can not see anyone with the emotional talent to do what he did.

[@dariakraft2542]

Yep. Love Kevin Bacon. Not a pretentious Hollywood snob. His family seams very loving and down to earth. Doesn't hurt he's a fellow Philly native. Always fun to hear from him.

[@yvankrzeslo6366]

This guy is my youth. I love him

[@thetransformedchristians]

They should have invited his wife on the show to be with him, it would have been a much better fuller interview.

[@lowproscrumbum]

Jimmys on the list.

[@morpork-jj2wi]

Trump is on the list.

[@markbleichwehl]

It's great that he's been married 35 years. Most celebrities weddings don't make it

[@Hakim21210]

35 years of marriage is a record in hollywood. For my part, 20 years , next year!

[@KyloRen4238]

[@lady_g406]

Kevin Bacon is a national treasure. Protect at all costs!

[@christinelaw8606]

Love Kevin …he’s a natural and seems like a great guy…🍃🙌💖🫶🍃

[@jamesdove8021]

Kevin Bacon just gets better and better. Great actor.

[@wkim1881]

If you haven’t seen the KZbin video of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity, go watch it now. It’s incredible because it’s actually filmed on the space station!!!

[@jo-annewoodbridge5882]

❤

[@TheDresen12]

what a great guy and such a great Bowie story !!!

[@dougdeveloper8850]

His daughter is super talented as well. People should check out the film Smile.

[@dianna3157]

I adore their car commercials for the Hyundai EV ("rhymes with Kev"), they're hilarious. 😂

[@ericminch]

Also the Beach Boys album Smile. Also, hey, everybody, just smile a little more.

[@amyvanlowthian2112]

Love Kevin always so genuine and real & great stories..love he met Bowie another great & favourite legend of mine ❤️ Jimmy some great interviews particularly recently thankyou!

[@jwanie366]

The first time I heard about Kevin was actually in this funny joke: "20 years ago, we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope, and no Jobs. PLEASE - DO NOT let Kevin Bacon die"

[@louern123]

😂😂😂

[@PADS62]

Took me a second, but I got it. LMFAO. 🤣😅😂

[@dianna3157]

🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏

[@ChokeOnHamburder]

It was called a "wing window" and it wasn't rolled up or down. Just pushed open or closed and had a little latch. I'm only 54 and this makes me feel old. The main door window would be a rectangular shape and not a fancy curve, hence the bonus window. My source: 1966 Mustang in high school!

[@cburg6383]

Hey Jimmy, Joel Baudon says hi...

[@Trenchant468]

Chet Brown still is, and is still a great singer, and still active. Steve is Steve Netsky and you can find songs written by him and his brother Ronald here on KZbin. Kevin played the Bongos. His brother Michael was the singer-songwriter of the two.

[@ralphieone1]

Jimmy Kimmel's on the list

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

He still is fine til this day. Very exciting and great interview

[@lulugurl6547]

[@ShallowDepression]

How was the island, Jimmy?

[@evaadams8298]

Kevin Bacon still looking Fab!

[@sallyphillips9175]

I did NOT realize Kevin Bacon was in his mid-60s! Holy cow!!

[@veronicagonzalez9947]

I didn’t realize that. He doesn’t age. I wonder what’s his secret.

[@evaadams8298]

I know he looks incredible!

[@johnellharris1366]

Two of my all time favorite movies of Mr.Bacon is Quick Silver and Footloose.

[@oneupmanship]

Ah the vent window, greatest car invention ever. I miss them.Back in the day when all of America smoked ciggies, the vent window was indespesible.

[@Kreepyb5]

I love Kevin

[@jamessegura802]

Jimmy Kimmel is out here mixing things up with the kids! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@samlunter5126]

Phenomenon is one of my favorite movies starring Kyra Sedgwick.

[@robcalder2660]

Kevin and his wife such honest fair regular people

[@taniaramaki5142]

Such a bright man who also is a good actor a rare combination

[@lovelyskull3483]

That’s called an opera window. Love Kevin Bacon.

[@davenorth8922]

it's for cigarettes For lazy smokers.

[@scottbracken1284]

In southern CA it was a "wind wing" (1950s)

[@Marcianna50]

My dad’s cars in the 50’s and probably 60’s had those windows. I knew them as “side vent” windows.

[@partyof43]

Any interview with Kevin Bacon is too short for me.

[@iringa77]

Love Jimmy Kimmel show! I have not looked at the ratings but I would think that it is at the top where it should belong!

[@damienknight1002]

If I ever meet Kevin Bacon in real life, I'll say "Kevin Bacon... It's really you... You are my childhood nightmare,... Hollow Man. That was the first of your movies I watched and I was only 5 years old. I coincidentally saw my dad watching it on TV and I never knew how much I'd regret seeing it. It was the most horrid thing I saw as a kid and I had a painfully extreme fear of human anatomy." I wonder how he'd react to that.

[@michaelheerdt6845]

Jimmy Kimmel was on epstien island 🤣

[@k.mccandies1505]

Whenever it's the "Baconator" I click! What a lovely guy.

[@hollylewis5302]

WHY IS THE GUEST CHAIR SO LOW?

[@NewMessage]

The key to marriage is total and complete resignation to the fact that you've been defeated. There's a strange sense of peace to that, really.

[@Pand3Js]

I watched Tremors because I loved Kevin Bacon. And thru Tremors was my first introduction to the phenomenon known as Neil Patrick Harris! I knew he played Doogie Howser but I had never watched that show. Love love love Neil Patrick Harris!

[@MichaelLasotaMusic]

Dana Carvey and Kevin Bacon should be in a movie together like "Face Off", but with no digital effects necessary.

[@carleenmulloy481]

Love 😘 Kevin Bacon 🙏

[@kennykarlsson6691]

Fantastic actor. One of the best.

[@Kreepyb5]

Footloose one of favs

[@Fegga1955]

Thank you

[@KingGrio]

I think this was Dana Carvey filling it for Kevin Bacon. Fooled us all with his excellent impression.

[@heideleskun1163]

My husband and I have been married as long as Kevin and Kyra. Each year is a celebration! lol well, apparently Kyra and I are the same age and our oldest is the same age as theirs. Difference my husband is younger lol. He's talking about the vent window, or the "cigarette window". You needed the window because you never trusted the exhaust system and always wanted to vent the inside of the car. Hence "vent" window. At least that's what my dad told me.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

That smaller window was purely decorative and nothing to do with the exhaust system. No one ever died from not rolling down that window.

[@joshualeteipa1295]

Loove his character on "city on a hill"

[@louern123]

jimmy doesn’t let many people talk this much ❤

[@sebastiansierrajaramillo9872]

Hollow man and X-men: First Class are my favorite Kevin Bacon movies! He is a really good actor.
