Kevin Bacon looked back in the past and revealed that he was trading his Hollywood “Stardom” for a peaceful life in the countryside.

The actor whose fame Skyrocket after 1984’s Footloosisrevealed that the whirlwind success left him overwhelmed and to escape the nonstop public attention, he decided to live a quieter life.

Bacon called his sudden increase in fame as “zero to 60” on Thursday’s episode of Mythical Kitchen’s last mealsAnd noticed, “I think I had gone through the intensity of Footloose and exploded on a kind of national kind of star status and then tried to tackle it.”

After the wave of popularity, Bacon traveled after loneliness and resided in a “funky, small, clear farm” in Western Connecticut.

“I just thought with myself, ‘I just want to be a guy with a dog and live alone. I don’t need anything. I don’t need anyone,'” he remembered.

“And we lived in this little place and I hacked the tree and when we didn’t work she brought a dog into the mixture. So it was us – and [our dogs] Jane and Tybalt, “he said, referring to his wife Kyra Sedgwick.

After a long time, however, his wife got tired of life away from the city and asked Bacon to move back to city life.

She said, “This is terrible. I will go out for lunch. I will go to the movies or theater. I will shop in the village.”

So they moved back to Manhattan, New York after a huge argument that Bacon admitted was the real drying out.

“That was the biggest thing we’ve ever done. She was so right. To raise kids in Manhattan was the best idea,” he added.
