The 65-year-old actor shared his experience in a Vanity Fair article titled 'Kevin Bacon spent a day like a normal person.'
Bacon told the magazine: "I'm not complaining, but I have a pretty recognizable face."
"Putting on the hat and glasses is only going to work up to a point. I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations and asked him to make me a prosthetic costume," he added.
After donning false teeth, a new nose and glasses, the actor headed to a shopping center in Los Angeles and was initially excited, reports womanfirst.co.uk.
Bacon said, "No one recognized me."
However, Bacon soon regretted his decision.
The actor said: “People were pushing me, not being nice. Nobody said, 'I love you.' I had to stand in line to, I don't know, buy a damn coffee or whatever. I was like, this *****. “I want to be famous again.”
The actor revealed that he always wanted to be famous after seeing his father regularly recognized in public.
Bacon said: "In terms of giving credit to my parents, and of course, I give them all the credit, my mother was very much on the artistic side and really encouraged acting."
"My brother was a musician, but in general, between the six of us (children), we both encouraged as much creativity as possible in everything, music, theater, painting, sculpture, whatever. My father was famous in Philadelphia, which in some ways It's a small pond, but to me it was a big pond."
"I saw him get recognized by people when he walked down the street, and seeing that was definitely a big driving force in my life. Frankly, I wanted to be more famous than him. And you can lay me on the psychiatrist's couch. We could talk about it for a while, but it was definitely a motivation," he added.
