The 80s was the best decade to live in. What a man, such well deserved fame. Wish I had the honor to be there..

So AH-MAZING!!! Those students will remember that time "Kevin Bacon came to our high school!" for the rest of their lives. Kevin you are awesome for doing that!!!

@brettteply1207 2 месяца назад

Well done, well done 👍

One of the aspects that I have really liked about Kevin is that he appears to be a humble, cool and quiet kind of guy. He isn't over the top all about promoting himself, just stays true to himself. He is the same guy he was 40 years ago and hasn't let success go to his head.

@chumark54 2 месяца назад

@jdtractorman7445 Agreed. He mostly played bad guys, but from what I've heard he seems to be a decent person.

Are you kidding?? This is the height of a vanity project. No one cares about Payton High School in southern Utah.

@marryellenmonahan5585 2 месяца назад

Because he is.

@dHolbach77 2 месяца назад

Who knows? You don't really know someone unless you live with them - see all their moods and behavior all day for weeks on end at least. Anyone can put on a fake public persona for a short, or even long time. I'm friendlier in public, including my job, than I am in my private life for instance, because I'm an introvert, but in public I appear friendly and outgoing. That said, he's probably pretty decent. It's just that you never know.

His daughter went to college in our town. It’s not a big town and people recognize each other. He had been seen with Kyra every now and then in downtown and when people stopped them, they were both very nice and gracious. Not flashy or pretentious. Such a cool person. ❤

@rosesuenram6842 2 месяца назад

Proud of Kevin for going and the kids for their hard work for the charity.

Much respect for Kevin Bacon to take the time to go back to Payson High School in Utah and support those kids. He is truly genuine and it was much appreciated I am sure by all attending. So cool too to also conduct some great community service work at the same time. That was awesome!

I’m so glad he went there. It was really neat to watch him crack open the locker again after so many years. He went out of his way to make a lot of kids dream come true. Classy, great guy.

@solracer66 2 месяца назад

I'm Kevin's age and I go swing dancing twice a week and have for years often with partners 4 decades younger. The key to dancing when you get older is to just never stop, I can do it for hours and not get tired at all. Dancing keeps you young!

I hope this initiative gets more of today's generation to watch Footloose. Magical movie, magical soundtrack and positive message. Its a shock to learn that the actors were not dancing to the soundtrack! Kevin looks fantastic at 65!

@marthajean50 2 месяца назад

Congratulations to all the students who went for what they wanted and got it! Just imagine what else they'll be able to accomplish if they can pull this off as teens.

@milmil6594 2 месяца назад

When Kevin Bacon makes a promise he delivers..how cool is cool when Kevin Bacon shows up and takes the time to deliver a message that hopefully stands true to all these students..Now you the students are just as cool to remember him with such a warm welcome of appreciation..Not only a fine actor but a great musician in his own right..The whole time i was in High School i couldn't wait to get out of school..But what was i thinking..now i wish i could go back..

They should take out the locker and put it somewhere like a new museum or something so that it doesn't get lost when the building is torn down. Thank you Kevin and Payson High!
