The "Footloose" actor has been working in show business for nearly forty years, in modern classic films with the same number like "Friday the 13th" and "Apollo the 13th," even spanning a game about his career - and now, Kevin Bacon eggs challenge takes the actor to a whole new level!
As many people know, there's a parlor game called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," in which movie buffs around the world try to match anyone in the world to the actor through six people or less - but that's not the only joke featuring the actor, as there's always Kevin Bacon and eggs.
The actor is known for taking his celebrity status in very good humor, and the latest Kevin Bacon eggs ad proves it: according to Ad Week, the new commercial comes from the American Egg Board, as the creative people behind the campaign play a word game with the actor's surname and its delicious connotations.
CBS reports that the American Egg Board will be launching an entire campaign, both online and in print, that will feature "The Following" actor making hilariously silly puns about his name. It's the first time that the Board uses any Hollywood celebrity to advertise the popular protein.
So, why a Kevin Bacon eggs commercial? The actor says the obvious pun himself: well, nobody knows eggs better than Bacon.
As Business Insider reports, Kevin Bacon's eggs ad is hardly the first time the actor dips a foot into advertisement, as he's been starring in commercials for UK wireless carrier EE for the past three years, in which he makes fun of the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game - something he's been doing for years, even when guest-starring in "Will & Grace" back in the day.
