Kevin Bacon is no stranger to the rockstar life, but he just took the rockstar look to a new level.
Though the The Bondsman actor is best known for his work in Hollywood, particularly Footloose, fans of his know he has a strong musical side too.
Since 1995, he has been part of musical duo The Bacon Brothers, with his brother Michael Bacon, and showed off his stage presence — with a new look — on his latest late night appearance.

For the epic performance, Kevin abandoned his salt and pepper hair in favor of a shaggy blonde wig to emulate the singer, and wore a red plaid button down over a white t-shirt paired with a leather vest, as he began singing: "I got my first real six-string. I bought it at the five-and-dime. I counted it and there were six strings. I played it and it sounded fine," switching up the original lyrics of the iconic song.

This is the best."
Kevin is currently promoting his new series The Bondsman, an action comedy in which he stars as Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter, who is back from the dead after being resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell.

Kyra and Kevin have been married since 1988, one year after they met when they starred together in a PBS version of Lanford Wilson's play Lemon Sky in 1987. They are typically based between their New York City apartment and Connecticut farm, where they raised their two kids, Travis, 35, and Sosie, 33.
The couple and their kids have all collaborated with each other on both music and film projects in the past. Travis previously worked on the music for his parents' film Space Oddity, which Kyra directed and Kevin starred in, and when HELLO! attended the premiere in 2022, Kevin opened up about getting to work with his family.
