Details about Kevin Bacon?

Kevin Bacon was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 8, 1958. His father was a well-known local urban planning expert. Kevin Bacon, who grew up in a downtown area, has a different ambition than ordinary children - to be an actor. You may not believe it, but when he was a teenager, he was a fat boy with a "chubby" and "obese" body, and he had no "femininity" at all. "This is one of the reasons why I determined to be an actor." When talking about his teenage experience, Bacon has never been shy: "In addition, I was often bullied by others, and they always liked to kick my ass." 1976 In 2006, the 17-year-old Bacon left his family after graduating from high school and came to the unfamiliar New York to fight in the world.

Although no one noticed at the time that he played some inconspicuous roles in several films, Bacon's acting talent was soon fully demonstrated in the 1982 film "Diner" (Diner).
