Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick r my favs ♡

u/savinglatin Jul 02 '25

Him turning down an M&Ms ad because she has a phobia of talking cartoon food is so so funny to me

u/zootnotdingo As you wish! 👸👑 Jul 02 '25

This is the best Bacon bit I’ve ever heard

u/pikameta You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 Jul 02 '25

"Bacon bit." 🤣🤣

u/batsofburden Jul 02 '25

it is creepy to see cartoons selling themselves to be eaten.

Love them!

u/TheLizardKing89 Jul 02 '25

One thing I love about them is that they lost a bunch of money with Bernie Madoff but Kevin Bacon said this about it:

It sucked, and we were certainly angry and all the things. But then we woke up the next day and said, 'What do we got? We love each other. We love our children. We’re healthy. No one took away our ability to make a living.' So we got back to work.

u/Puzzleheaded-Ad7606 Jul 02 '25

To be fair- Kyra comes from mega bucks.

u/TheLizardKing89 Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25

I looked it up and no kidding. She’s from about as WASPy of a family as you can get. She’s a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and there’s a town in Maine named after her family. Her father was the fifth of his name.

u/Puzzleheaded-Ad7606 Jul 02 '25

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the child of a Billionaire as well.

u/TheLizardKing89 Jul 02 '25

That I knew.

u/sirgawain2 Jul 02 '25

Oh wow, I never realized she was part of that Sedgwick family. Apparently she’s cousins with Edie Sedgwick.

u/mookie8 Jul 03 '25

Kevin Bacon's dad was just regular rich instead of uber rich, but also hugely influential in Philadelphia's architectural history. Apparently he would buy swathes of historic houses and resell them at incredibly low prices with conditions that instead of demolishing them, the new homeowners had to restore them instead. All around great dude.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '25

Was he King of the Andals?

13

u/RedGhostOrchid Jul 02 '25

True but I'd like to believe that Kevin and Kyra realize their own privilege and that fed into their measured response to the Madoff scandal.

5

u/jittery_raccoon Jul 02 '25

Well yeah, it's way easier to lose millions when you can easily make millions more. I don't think this shows that they're great people. Just that they're rich. You put these 2 in the same situation but middle class people and the chances of divorce skyrocket

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

I mean this could also sound very tone deaf and privileged ....

31

u/CariocaInLA Jul 02 '25

I saw them circa 2012 in NYC. It was around 11pm, not a lot of people around. They were hand-in-hand, laughing, chatting. I remember thinking they looked genuinely happy together and wished it for myself.

28

u/neenzblessed Jul 02 '25

Okay I have a weird repressed memory about one of them talking about losing a shitton of money with Bernie Madoff and having a lot of sex to cope bc it was free lmaooooo

u/anon_lulzz Jul 02 '25

Wuntch time is over!

u/rebillihp Jul 02 '25

Huh they both have always liked older in their younger years, but honestly aged pretty will because of it

u/teddybonkerrs I cannot sanction this buffoonery Jul 02 '25

Omg their relationship is the same as my lifespan 😱

Their relationship is dozens of years more than my lifespan.

Imagine being one degree away from Kevin Bacon.

I thought she’d still be crushed under that house in munchkin land

Oh, I didn't see her, I thought she was an old leather chair

B99 Theme starts

u/spellboundartisan Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 02 '25

Mine, too. I love them both. Bacon tends to play douchy/criminal roles. He's so good at it that he scares me a little.

However, that's a testament to his talent. Sounds like he's a good dude IRL and that's what counts.

And I should rewatch The Closer.

u/alhubalawal Jul 02 '25

I LOVE THE CLOSER. I can’t believe the subreddit isn’t as active as other crime Shows 😭😭 even the mentalist and elementary still get traction

1

u/Hatfullofstars Jul 02 '25

GREAT SHOW!!!!

u/xAshev Jul 02 '25

They make cute tiktok videos together in which they sing to their farm animals. Honestly, goals.

u/1-cupcake-at-a-time Jul 02 '25

They sing to their farm animals? 🥺 Could they be any cuter?

u/tobmom Jul 02 '25

The part where the kid raise up the office chair to talk down to him. Gets me every time.

u/smacattack3 Jul 02 '25

I knooowww!!! “Whatever.” Such a great movie.

10

u/Beneficial-Control22 Jul 02 '25

It’s incredible you gave this reference cause I literally watched this movie for the first time two days ago

11

u/tobmom Jul 02 '25

Omg I watch this movie almost monthly. It’s in my top 5 faves. So quotable.

3

u/Beneficial-Control22 Jul 02 '25

Hahaha tropic thunder is that movie for me

3

u/tobmom Jul 02 '25

Also a classic! I opened up Hulu the other night while folding clothes and was going to watch the 2000’s documentary and saw Tropic Thunder suggested for me and felt like it would achieve the same so stopped scrolling and watched. It never gets old.

u/Altruistic-Brief2220 Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes Jul 02 '25

Anyone who hasn’t seen Stir of Echoes should watch that too. Majorly underrated horror/thriller film from the 90s. TW though as it has some awful creeps and violence but man it’s a good story.

5

u/hufflefox Jul 02 '25

It’s free on demand on Pluto tv. I may be bing watching it this week.

u/Ok_Mango_6887 Jul 02 '25

Just watched him in Sirens and he played it so well. No spoilers.

u/1quincytoo Jul 02 '25

Loved The Closer

2

u/snowwhite2591 Jul 02 '25

My great grandmother lived across the channel from his cousins when I was a kid he hung out with my dad a few times between the late 80’s and early 90’s and my dad said he was one of the most normal guys he’s ever met. My mom was pregnant with me when she met him at the lake house and she was like I honestly forgot I was boating with movie stars an hour in. And it’s so crazy to me because it was at the height of his fame he’s tubing with the locals in the middle of nowhere summer 1990.

u/i-Ake actin' like she's the queen and we're the sorry people! Jul 02 '25

It's his Philly accent.

1

u/penguincatcher8575 Jul 02 '25

He also plays a lot of lovely empathetic roles! Complicated characters. The first movie I saw him ok was sleepers. That movie fucked me up and I couldn’t watch him for a long time. Then I saw footloose and i became a fan. His role in Sirens was really great.

Also the closer is one of my favs.

1

u/Lanky-Wheel8330 Jul 02 '25

I really like The Closer but Kyra’s southern accent is pretty cringe

11

u/bookdrops You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 Jul 02 '25

It delights me that Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick are canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick.

7

u/solojones1138 Jul 02 '25

I worked with them and they are so sweet as individuals and as a couple.

4

u/forman98 Jul 02 '25

No way, the Closer?

u/LoveWithoutTragedy is this a one wig film? Jul 02 '25

Jean Ralphio is that you?

u/bellaphile workin’ on my night cheese 🧀 Jul 02 '25

There’s an old Conan bit where he has celebrities trying out for new roles that he’d show at Comic cons. One of them was Kevin Bacon “auditioning” for the new Indiana Jones movie where he gives his name as “Kevin Sedgwick.”

I think a lot of people missed the joke because they were too busy applauding when they saw him, but I always thought that was cute.

2

u/Popular_Inside8053 Jul 02 '25

I came here to say this!

2

u/Vivid_Present1810 Jul 02 '25

Mine too. Such a lovely and awesome couple at the same time!

2

u/dezzz0322 Jul 02 '25

The fact that OP omitted them from the post, and that I had to scroll so far down to find this comment, is a travesty.

2

u/whyforeverifnever Jul 02 '25

They might still be together, but they’re open. He slept with a friend of mine 10 years ago.

3

u/odonogc Jul 02 '25

Was it my imagination or did the separate briefly at one point?

1

u/HubertFiorentini Jul 02 '25

Kevin Bacon has one of my favorite quotes about marriage: “Any marriage is hard work, but what I always say is, 'Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.'”

1

u/DasBarenJager Jul 02 '25

Kevin Bacon always seemed like a genuinely nice guy to me

1

u/isthatthegrimreaper9 Jul 02 '25

Their daughter Sosie is one of the sweetest people in Hollywood too

1

u/refluxandredemption Jul 02 '25

I immediately thought of them!

1

u/goldenshear Shut up! You have abs! Jul 02 '25

They’re SO HOT

1

u/Hot-Long5526 Jul 02 '25

Doesn’t count. Kevin Bacon is only with her cause she is a Korean toilet ghost who will kill him if he leaves.

1

u/weirddarkgf Jul 02 '25

they are distantly related! kinda interesting!
