Kevin bacon She wanted to get out of the spotlight after being released in 1984, but his wife Kyra Sedgwick had other plans.

During the recent episode on YouTube, “the last meal of mythical cuisine,” Bacon admitted that his dream was to be a “lone” farmer, who lives on a farm with his own dog.

“I think I went through ‘Footloose’ intensity, And exploding into a kind of national stars, then trying to deal with it, “Bacon said. He found that he felt like his life was going from” zero to 60 “and asked for a way to crash.

At that moment, in his life, Bacon was craving for mental peace.

“I just thought to myself,” I’ll just be a guy with a dog and live alone. I don’t need anything. I don’t need anyone, “said host Josh Scherer, also known as mythical chef Josh.

The song Gatlin of 2007 “Chop Wood and Carry Water” came to mind when Bacon described his desire for solitude at the time.

“It may sound false … but I like to be outside, chopping wood.”

Bacon lived in Western Connecticut when he met his now wife. Sedgwick was not delighted with Bacon’s desire to be isolated from the rest of the world.

Initially, the couple lived in a “fun, small, manual farmhouse,” Bacon said.

“It’s been a while, in fact for a few years, she somehow made it to that, and we somehow became together,” he said about Sedgwick. “And we lived in this small place, and I cut wood, and when we didn’t work, she brought the dog to the mix. So we were – and [our dogs] Jane and Tybalt. ”

Bacon’s fantasy was achieved for Sedgwick for just a few years.

“She said,” This is awful. I want to go out for lunch. I want to go to the movies or theater. I want to buy in the village, “Bacon recalled.

Sedgwick, which is a native New Yorker, She did not want to raise her children isolated, which encouraged the “biggest struggle we’ve ever had in our lives,” Bacon said.

Bacon and Sedgwick are shared by Travis, 35, and Sosie, 33.

At the time, Kyra was determined to transfer her son Travis to a school in Manhattan and rent an apartment for her family.

Bacon said at the time, “Post-‘footloose”, before ‘coaches’, “their finances were not in the best place for that type of transition.

“That was the biggest thing we’ve ever done. She was right. Raising children in Manhattan was the best idea,” Bacon says in Vid.

The actor added: “We ultimately came up with a way to afford the apartment. I got a job. All these things I was afraid of wouldn’t have happened, it happened – and she was right. You know, again, again.”

Bacon and Sedgwick He married in 1988 after a meeting on the “Lemon Sky” set. The actor would invite the whole acting role for dinner while filming in the hope that Sedgwick will attend, the actress recalled during the 2012 “Conan” episode.

Sedgwick never attended the evening, and Bacon moved to the suggestion of “The Woodsman” star to get a massage at his hotel, and they could collect dinner – and the rest is history.

Although the couple decided to raise their children in Manhattan, they decided to protect their children from Hollywood success for whom they fought for “tooth and nails”.

“When there was a promotion of their own glory and take their children to the premiere and make them watch my films and show them an article in the work … We really didn’t do that,” Bacon said. “We really avoided it. I think we really felt like it would be nice to have them … We knew how strange this life was.”

He continued, “When you realize that you will always … that there is always a chance to get out of the house and that someone will know who you are or watch you or have a point about yourself from the job you did, you start to go,” Ok, that’s great. He always always wanted it, but it’s a strange way to live, “but a little,” “”

Bacon decided to protect his children from sharp reality of glory “because they did not choose her.”

“That’s a matter. When it comes to glory, I have no blame but myself. That was my thing,” Bacon explained on the “last meals”. “I’m the one who fought for a tooth and nails for him. But for them, it’s something he pushed them.”

“I just felt like they were laughing at their things. So, we gave birth to them. I keep telling them,” He had to be hard for you. Please tell me. I want to know. Sit down with your therapist, it’s okay, “he added.” You can get angry with me for this life you were … and they just won’t go there. She won’t admit anything was hard to have one of them. “

Now that his children are adults, they are free to make their own decisions. One of them was acting with their famous parents in the horror movie “Family Film”.

“This is a dream,” Bacon said US Weekly.

“We simply love to hang out with our children. But crazy thing is not all the time, but every time they like to hang out with us, and so it is with—- right there because you raise them many times, this is not translated into a permanent, lasting, close relationship.”

Bacon said that he and his “very close” family never take their relationship “for granted.”

“We all work on separate things. Travis works, Kyra works separately, I work separately, Sosie always works. Just an idea [of being] The capable of working together is gold. “
