Actor Kevin Bacon is no stranger to headlines, but this weekend, he turned to his daughter Sosie Bacon for a lighthearted take on a recent bee encounter. The "Footloose" star enlisted Sosie to recreate his reaction to being swarmed by bees during a hike with her and her husband, Scoot McNairy.
In a social media post, Kevin shared the playful reenactment, explaining the real-life incident where the bees "went full-on after me."
"So these bees, they must not have liked my work or something because they left the two of them alone and they went full-on after me. Let’s attack KB. Bees stinging me everywhere, including underneath my shirt."
Sosie, who shares Kevin with his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, recreated the moment for her father’s followers. Sosie, an accomplished actor in her own right, starred in the 2022 horror hit Smile and spoke to TheWrap about her parents’ reactions to the film.
"I sort of felt uncomfortable for everybody because obviously it was uncomfortable to shoot, but watching with the crowd, I was like, Oh my God, this is intense. It was fun also to see how the laughter and the scares… I don’t know," she said. "Everyone seemed very physically and emotionally affected by it. I’m not going to lie. My mom was on the floor."
Regarding her father’s response to her work, Sosie added, "He’s proud. He was really proud. I could tell. He was like, ‘Great.’ I think they were a bit like, ‘Whoa.’"
