The Footloose star, who has been a household name since the 1980s, revealed to Vanity Fair that he often daydreamed about being an anonymous member of the public instead of a famous figure. He once decided to test it out for the day by hiring a prosthetics team to transform his look. "I'm not complaining, but I have a face that's pretty recognisable.”. "Putting my hat and glasses on is only going to work to a certain extent. I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations, and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise.". The elaborate disguise comprised of fake teeth, a different nose and a pair of glasses, which Bacon, 65, tested out during a shopping trip at The Grove in Los Angeles. While his transformation paid off and nobody bothered him, the A Few Good Men star admitted he missed out on the special treatment he usually receives, and this made him realise being famous was better than being a nobody. "Nobody recognised me. People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, 'I love you.' I had to wait in line to, I don't know, buy a f**king coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.".
