Can you guess the iconic actor who went from living in a rundown\u00a0New York<\/a>\u00a0\u201cflophouse\u201d for just $150 a month to owning a peaceful farm with his family?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This actor\u2019s humble beginnings are a far cry from his current life of farm animals and fresh home-grown veggies. Growing up, he knew from an early age that he wanted to be an actor.<\/p>\n

After trips to the movie theater, he would come home and immediately dress up as one of the characters from the film, fully immersing himself in the world of make-believe. His favorite childhood toy? A box of old clothes his mom had saved for him, which he used to fuel his imagination and creativity.<\/p>\n

Wanted the \u201dreal thing\u201d<\/h2>\n

In 1976, fresh out of Philadelphia, he moved to New York City to chase his dream of acting. He spent\u00a0months crashing on his sister\u2019s couch<\/a>\u00a0before finding a cheap place through an ad in the\u00a0Village Voice<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a no-frills, budget-friendly \u201cartist\u2019s residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the place was far from glamorous, it was exactly what he could afford at the time. In fact, the actor shared that it wasn\u2019t even a single room \u2013 he had to move in with a roommate.<\/p>\n

His roomie was a classical pianist, and the two shared the space for four years. In interviews, the actor fondly reminisces about the calming sounds of the piano that filled the apartment late at night.<\/p>\n

While living in The Big Apple, the actor appeared in a production at the Circle in the Square Theater School. \u201dI wanted life, man, the real thing,\u201d he later recalled to Nancy Mills of Cosmopolitan.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe message I got was \u2018The arts are it. Business is the devil\u2019s work. Art and creative expression are next to godliness.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

So, can you guess who this determined actor is?<\/p>\n

He has a tall, lean frame and a signature look that\u2019s a mix of rugged and charming.<\/p>\n

With a square jaw and high cheekbones, he\u2019s got a face that can go from intense to relatable in an instant. His light brown hair is often casually styled, and his deep-set eyes add a mysterious vibe. You might recognize his easy-going, yet timeless style that\u2019s made him a fan favorite for decades. Can you guess who he is?<\/p>\n

Alright, we won\u2019t drag this out any longer.<\/p>\n

While this\u00a0Golden Globe Award\u00a0<\/a>winner was living in that tiny, $150-a-month space, he was also preparing for his big break.<\/p>\n

Household name<\/h2>\n

Fast forward a few years, and he would go on to star in iconic films like\u00a0Footloose<\/em>,\u00a0Beauty Shop<\/em>, and\u00a0The Woodsman<\/em>, becoming a household name.<\/p>\n

So here it is \u2013 it\u2019s\u00a0Kevin Bacon<\/strong>! From his early days as a young actor in New York to now living on a farm with his wife and their animals, his journey has truly been one to follow<\/p>\n

Now, the actor is living a completely different life. He and his wife, fellow actress Kyra Sedgwick, now shares a 40-acre\u00a0farm\u00a0in\u00a0Sharon, Connecticut. They have several animals, including goats, pigs, alpacas, and miniature horses.<\/p>\n

\u201dI love animals, they are a joy to be around, and they\u2019re very, very calming for me,\u201d Bacon\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201dBut we also really love to go into the garden and get fresh herbs or tomatoes or basil or peppers or zucchini.\u201d<\/p>\n
