Kevin Bacon, Hollywood’s great survivor, first set hearts fluttering in the 1984 classic Footloose. Now 65, he’s back on the big screen again. Here, he talks about his band, politics, family, embracing change and, most of all, learning selflessness…

here’s a state that veteran Hollywood actors can reach, beyond ravenous ambition, but with retirement still distant, that seems to make them contented as professionals and mellow as people. Kevin Bacon, now 65, has hit that sweet spot. Continually employed for decades, he shares a Manhattan apartment as well as a Connecticut farm with his wife of 35 years, Kyra Sedgwick, and their two adult children, Travis and Sosie.

The equivalent room full of Hollywood stars wouldn’t intimidate him in the least. Even so, “I find the world of musicians to be incredibly welcoming. I’ve played with some very, very serious cats and I never get the impression that anyone is resentful of the fact that I would wanna play, or write, or sing, or any of those things. When the song starts, you‘That’s the thing with doing the gig we do. Whose shoes are we gonna be walking in tomorrow?’: Bacon outside his home in Manhattan.

“Can I believe it? Yeah. I live it every day.” This January, Sedgwick and Bacon became spokespeople for a political organisation called, that aims to encourage swing states to vote Democrat. Bacon says that he and his wife were moved to speak up through awareness of their good fortune. “I can’t tell you how many times, in the course of our week, we literally look at each other, me and Kyra, and say how grateful we are that our children are OK. There’s a lot of kids these days who aren’t.
