Some might argue how genuine the message is from this well known actor, but the message is clear, BE REAL!

[@Greenandgold888]

So cool! I was talking about Kevin bacon the other day saying... hey, remember that guy from the movie tremors!! 🎉😂❤

[@mateobecerra6916]

Lauryn Hill said something similar to what Mr. Bacon said here, he said, “if you're not changing, you're dying.” Ms. Lauryn Hill said, “if you're not growing, you're dying.” 🙏🏼✨💯💯

[@Sabrina-LosAngeles]

I worked with a few famous people and one of the common themes is definitely how fame may not change them but the relationships with the people around them and how people start relating to them. Can be very isolating

[@TheFunkybert]

I appreciate anyone who is living their life in an authentic way. Not everyone is here to be a good person. Duality is necessary in life.

[@ChristianSoschner]

True. Kindness and connecting people matters

[@Neofito317]

Lewis, I live here in Brazil. Brother, you have no idea how much your channel is a very precious and rare jewel for us who live here. I recently met in conversation with Sadguru and was watching the video with Anthony Robbins until now. I'm still thrilled to be able to understand with the excellent work the translator does. Because I still don't know English. Note: I'm writing here through Google Translate... I wrote reporting some things in the aforementioned videos that are in Portuguese. I'm a business analyst here in Brazil and I was super interested in knowing if Anthony Robbins has any business here or intends to expand any of his companies here. Because I cried watching your conversation on the podcast... This is what I need more and more and want for my life. Sorry for the somewhat long text... But I would have so many things to tell you that honestly you have no idea what you have rescued inside me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my brothers. Thanks.My name is Leonardo Costa da Silva I live in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In the city of Bento Gonçalves Big hug, Lewis.

Amazing interview. Thank you Lewis for showing Kevin in a way that I had never seen before. Much love ❤️

[@Sandra9135]

Love this interview! Love the person who he shows to us all. I believe he is a supreme artist in his field and now i get to listen to his person outside of the film industry. Great interview! Love you both. Thank you.❤

[@tomnohmy1273]

Being a superstar myself whose kind, it's doable, even though I'm a superstar only in my head but make it work

[@michelebasye6084]

[@deboraheden6418]

[@scotthayes7777]

Very cool episode

[@loveofinquiry8067]

Always liked Kevin’s movies and his wife’s.❤

[@joannastryker1151]

I love ya Kevin too....and he is a "a Few Good man"...lolol

[@markstenka3585]

I too am the last of six and 5 years behind my older sister and ten years behind my youngest brother. Funny how you describe yourself as a accident because I have felt like that my whole life also. So much so that my mom didn’t have a name for me and the priest came to visit her and recommended my name to her because I was born on saint marks day. I’m in mid life now and sucks that both parents are gone also. Got a ton in common. It was crazy listening to him tell his life stories and how much it sounded like me. Very cool.

[@joannastryker1151]

Like is like his podcast idea.

[@HydroponicResources]

Great video. Such as versatile artist... Few Good Men movie! 👍

[@Toolithub]

Wish you the best in your self development journey 🔥

[@endhumansuffering]

At the beginning I thought you were about to get into “6 degrees of Kevin Bacon”

[@louise4660]

KEVIN, CLEARLY REAL..GREAT WORDS OF WISDOM..GREAT MOM & FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR THIS POWERFUL MESSAGE 💜 💖 LOVE HIS REAL STORY☀️🌅🕊🕊💚🕊🕊🕊

[@TweelingzielenTheHeartPath]

This Message is exact the Ethic Moral shown in his movie Footloose 1984.

[@neva.2764]

Those were the days.

[@clarkparker4860]

Another great interview! heading to his new podcast now.

[@lewishowes]

So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.

[@jeahavvalentin980]

I can't wait to see him as the main villain in Beverly Hills Cop 4

[@fernandasanchez539]

[@latreselatrese4179]

[@rodneyadderton1077]

Yeah, what I was thinking. He has to be talking about at the start of his career.

[@stayinthevortex]

Sorry, I don't listen to any celeb.

[@michelebasye6084]

Open your mind... he actually has an honest genuine message

[@stayinthevortex]

@@michelebasye6084 my mind was open till I found out what they were doing with children.

[@thetreasuregarden.creates]

still traumatized by his role in Sleepers! whenever i want to fall in love with another character, it gets tainted by a flashback of Nokes! 😫😫😫😫 Love you, Kevin, but you shouldn't have played that role so well! 😂❤
