Kevin Bacon revealed that he once donned a prosthetic disguise to experience life as a 'regular' person, only to quickly realize he missed the perks of fame. Despite being eager to blend in, he found the experience at Los Angeles' The Grove mall disappointing and unpleasant, as people ignored him and he had to wait in lines. Bacon, who has had a successful 40-year career in Hollywood, commented on the difficulty of hiding his recognizable face and admitted he preferred his celebrity status. This experiment coincided with the release of his latest horror film, 'MaXXXine,' where he plays a private investigator.
