Kevin Bacon couldn't be prouder of the talented individuals his two children with wife Kyra Sedgwick have become, as they've followed his footsteps into the entertainment industry.

The actor, 64, is a dad to son Travis, 33, and daughter Sosie, 31, both of whom are performers – Travis is a musician, mainly specializing in alt-rock and metal, while Sosie is an actress.

Kevin shared a sweet tribute to his two children on Father's Day with a photo of the three performing, with the two men on guitar while Sosie took charge of the tambourine.

"I think that in the past few years, even someone as old and weathered as me can say, 'Let me start to listen a little bit more and start to look at things from a different point of view,'" he said. "Certainly when it comes to young people, they are our future."

"There's a long history of forcing children into boxes, whether it's based on something cultural or religious. I think that what you have to hope for is that, as a society, we grow and learn from that."
