But as it turned out, there was no great consensus among his fans – because letting them decide on the ultimate Kevin Bacon cut was like choosing the favorite child. In the comments, they discussed their absolute favorites.
“The first. Definitely,” commented one fan regarding his Flatliner Look – another agreed, explaining: “It’s the same style he had when I first saw him on TV. It may have only been 7/8 but it really impressed me.”

The actor’s great transformation over the years has not stopped him from being one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, and he has learned to accept this over the years.
InstagramKevin revealed that he once dressed up as a normal person for a day – and was surprised at how little he liked being normal.
He told Vanity Fair: “I’m not complaining, but I have a pretty recognizable face,” he said, adding: “Putting on a hat and glasses only works to a certain extent.”
To truly live out this thought experiment, “he went to a special effects makeup artist, got some advice, and asked him to make a prosthetic costume for me.”
But he didn’t like the reality of being normal, as he joked: “People were kind of pushing past me and not being nice. Nobody was saying, ‘I love you.’ I had to stand in line to, I don’t know, buy a (expletive) coffee or whatever. I was like, this sucks. I want to be famous again.”
