Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon! Actor & Pals' Nude Scenes Revealed
Aug. 30 2019, Published 6:19 p.m. ET
Kevin Bacon is either very comfortable in his birthday suit or very serious about his job as an actor!
Whatever it is, he’s had his fair share of roles where his character has gone full on nude for millions around the world to see.
His iconic nude scene in Wild Things garnered lots of attention back in 1998 when the movie first premiered. In it, he is seen stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around his waist.
In Pyrates, Bacon steps his game up with a bit more intimacy. In this scene, he stripped down with his co-star and real-life wife, Kyra Sedgwick.
The actor's role in the movie Murder In The First is possibly one of his most graphic nudity scenes.
Finally, for Hollow Man, fans were exposed to Bacon's backside during a scene where he is about to take an invisibility serum.
"I think it's become something that really goes job to job," Bacon told the Business Insider in a 2017 interview regarding going nude for his projects. "Does it work to see something?"
The problem, he revealed, was not going full frontal, but rather the amount of attention his nudity would receive.
“I did a movie called 'Wild Things,' it was full-frontal nudity. And I didn't have a problem with it…..What I did have a problem with was the fact that when I went to promote the movie — and even to this day — that's all I talk about. So it kind of ended up being, I don't know, just kind of boring to me as a topic of conversation."
The many of the star's pals have gone nude, too. Mr. Man compiled a list of six degrees of Kevin Bacon nude scenes!
