Renowned in the movie industry, this actor recently clinched a Golden Globe for his standout performance in an HBO project. Surprisingly, prior to his foray into television, he had never actually watched any of his own performances.
In a candid interview, he confessed his initial skepticism towards TV projects, stating: “If my agent had called me and said, ‘I think you should do a series,’ I would have fired my agent…”
However, it was his actress wife who ultimately persuaded him to reconsider. He fondly recalled the joy of sharing the screen with her and attending award ceremonies together.
Reflecting on his wife’s versatile acting career, he drew inspiration from the legendary Meryl Streep, noting: “You know, when I started to see her film work, you know, she does one part, and then she does another part, and it’s like barely recognizable, and to me, that was what I had always envisioned being an actor was, to be able to put on these different hats and become different people”.
This accomplished actor, none other than the charismatic 65-year-old Kevin Bacon, has journeyed from struggles to stardom, finding solace and happiness alongside his wife.
During a recent chat with Kelly Clarkson, Bacon reminisced about his humble beginnings. In 1976, he made the leap from Philadelphia to New York, where he had previously visited with his sister.
Arriving in the Big Apple, Bacon initially bunked with his sister until he could secure his own place. With just $150 to his name for the month, he stumbled upon a makeshift living situation advertised in The Village Voice. “Artists, actors, musicians, residents” were welcomed, and he found himself in what he describes as “basically a flophouse”.
For four years, he shared a space with a pianist in a rental office, unable to afford a proper apartment. Despite the challenges, Bacon’s determination and talent eventually paved the way to success, leading him to cross paths with his future wife, Kyra Sedgwick.
Their serendipitous encounter occurred in 1987 on the set of “Lemon Sky”. Bacon was smitten from the start, though Sedgwick needed a bit more convincing. After some persistence, their first date unfolded, marked by laughter and a deep connection that sealed their fate.
“We’ve always been each other’s biggest support and fans. A sense of humor is crucial. He is very freaking funny”, Sedgwick fondly remarked.
Together, they navigated the journey of parenthood, raising two children, Travis and Sosie, who are now adults. For Bacon, being a father is paramount, as he strives to instill values of honesty, integrity, and compassion in his children, emphasizing the importance of caring for the world and each other.
Sharon Stone Proves That We Can Still Rock a Bikini at 65, and Some People Spot a Curious Detail
At 65, Sharon Stone reminds us that we can gracefully embrace our age and still be at the peak of our appeal. The star’s latest post has set pulses racing, and some brought up an interesting detail in the photo that only eagle-eyed fans could notice.
She’s effortlessly cool.
The Basic Instinct star shared with her 3.7 million Instagram followers a selfie showcasing her toned figure in green with a black leopard print bikini.
Sharon looked cool and casual, with her signature short blond hair and black sunglasses, while she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
In the photo, which was casually taken in the living room of the actress’s Beverly Hills mansion, we could see exciting background decor and furniture, such as a leaf print sofa, a modern statue, and a framed picture of one of her all-time favorite actresses, Marilyn Monroe.
A tiny surprise in the photo.
Fans spotted one adorable detail in the photo which truly stole the show: Stone’s dog, Bandit.
The star adopted the French Bulldog back in 2018. And in the photo, he was almost invisible as he totally blended with the neutral colors of the sofa. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to pinpoint his head popping in the photo.
Her lifestyle is admirable.
A couple of years ago, the mother of three boys opened up about the tricks she swears by in order to keep her svelte figure.
Some of these include having an 8-hour-a-night sleeping routine, keeping her body active by doing lunges and swimming and taking baths filled with arnica and Dead Sea salts.
She keeps her eating habits simple and healthy. Stone noted ’’My favorite breakfast is watermelon with feta cheese and mint, with olive oil and salt and pepper,’’
She added, ’’And then I usually have a piece of gluten-free sourdough toast with that and an herbal tea.’’
Sharon also revealed that whenever her stomach is upset, she drinks ’’lemon and ginger teas and peppermint teas and these kinds of gentle herb things.’’ The actress added, ’’I’m very gentle with myself and the things that I use,’’
And Stone’s precious words remind us that self-love is the biggest secret to looking fabulous because it is only when we truly feel comfortable in our body that our inner light shines on the outside.
Although Stone keeps smiling and loving life, she has had to face many challenges and tragic events lately. And recently, she opened up about losing half of her money, and her words made us admire this strong woman even more.
