Kevin Bacon revealed that he once hired a makeup artist to disguise him in public, but he hated not being recognized.

The 65-year-old Footloose star, who has been one of Hollywood’s top stars for 40 years, said he wanted to try out what it was like to be a regular member of the public but quickly realised he didn’t like not getting any special attention from his fans.

He said Vanity Fair :I’m not complaining, but I do have a pretty recognizable face. Putting on the hat and glasses will only work to a certain extent.

‘I went to see a special effects makeup artist, had consultations and asked him to make me a prosthetic costume’ before trying out his new costume at Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove.

He said: “Nobody recognised me, people were pushing me and they weren’t nice. Nobody was saying ‘I love you’ to me. I had to queue up to, I don’t know, buy a fucking coffee or whatever. I was like, ‘This is bullshit. I want to be famous again. ’”
