I don't think he means it sucks to NOT be famous. I think it's more of people treat him better and act nicer to him because of who he is, but when unrecognized he sees people in their truest and ugliest forms.

Excuse me Mr Bacon, but when you turned invisible that time, you treated people very badly too.

This reads like an Onion article:
"Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f—king coffee or whatever,” Bacon observed coyly. 'I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.'"

He wasn’t born famous. People didn’t know who he was until he was like 26. He couldn’t remember anything about life before Footloose?

He couldn’t remember anything about life before Footloose? he's been famous for over half his life, he's had people kissing his ass for the last 39 years telling him how great he is in everything or they loved him in *insert film/play/advert here* (hell there is even the 6 degrees of kevin bacon thing) of course he's going to be out of touch with how it is for random non-famous people. look at elon musk on how being praised constantly can warp a human brain/ego or push them further out of touch, fair enough elon isn't a great example as his brain/ego seems to have always been out of touch with reality but the constant praise until he really showed the world who he is wont have helped ground him. |

When Kevin Bacon learned there are indeed more than six degrees of separation.

I can tell you as someone who had web fame and people recognize me and be nice to me for the work I did.
Its much better to live in the real world. You see the superficialness fast and it becomes easier to identify people and their intentions.
Its why I don't miss it because it made for some very uncomfortable and creepy relationships that current me would never explore before or again.

It’s like that John Mulaney observation about Mick Jagger. I don’t have the exact quote cued up, but when people ask him what Mick Jagger’s like he says something like, “I don’t know. He’s nice I guess. Or he’s not. Having 20,000 people chant they love you every night for decades kind of changes your outlook.” |

He’s Paul McCartney!!! The doorman was not having it. McCartney wasn’t on the list, he’s not getting in. Jim Jeffries observed “Paul McCartney hasn’t heard the word ‘no’ since 1964”. |

Kinda sad to see people commenting and you can tell they didn't read the article. To be fair there’s very little substance to this article. It’s basically a PR piece masquerading as an article. Heck, Maxxxine and the new Beverly Hills Cop movie he’s in get plugged before the topic the title promises. Kind of a funny headline to see when browsing CNN though, so figured I’d share. |

Sure it's tongue in cheek, but how does it work for famous Bacon to not wait in line for a coffee?

Imagine if it went differently and a lookalike showed up and he witnessed people fawning over his lookalike
