Mare of Easttown actress Sosie Bacon left fans scratching their heads with an announcement she teased on social media. 

The daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick took to Instagram and said she had a huge reveal. Alongside several beach snaps she wrote: "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. HUGE.I’m quitting *show bizz* to live (and pee off cliffs) out of my Prius on the PCH. my address is…”my Prius on the PCH” Come visit!"

While Sosie loves life on the open road it's unlikely she's packing in acting for good. She was a sure-fire hit in her latest project with Kate Winslet and likely to have further success as she follows in her famous parent's footsteps.

She made her acting debut in the 2005 movie, Lover Boy, with her parents but Kevin has previously admitted he didn't want Sosie to go into the entertainment industry.

Sosie said she was quitting acting!

He suffered a very public breakdown during a slump in his own career and he didn't want his children to suffer that.

Kevin told the Telegraph in 2013: "You're only as happy as your least happy child. We were only thinking about the struggle. And you want your children to live a life with as little struggle as possible. You never want bad things to happen. But of course, that's just not possible."

Kyra agrees and said in an interview: "Honestly, I really just want them to be happy. It is difficult being in this business, knowing how hard it is even when you're successful. The hurt, the rejection, the insecurity of thinking you're never going to work again... I don't want that for my kids."
