Los Angeles, Jun 1 (PTI) Actor Kevin Bacon says he used to despise a parlour game called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" as he was trying his best to establish himself as a serious actor at the time.
The game was created in 1994 by a group of Albright College students around the time when the 58-year-old actor's Hollywood cult classic "Footloose" had released.
Bacon says he hated being at the centre of a joke in those days, which was a play on words of the John Guare classic play 'Six Degrees of Separation'), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I hated it because I was trying so hard to be a serious actor and all of a sudden I was a parlour game. I thought it was really a joke at my expense," says Bacon at the Comedy Actor Roundtable.
The basic premise of the play was based on the existential theory that everyone in the world is connected to everyone else in the world by a chain of not more than six acquaintances, so the title 'Six Degrees of Separation'.
The actor added now it is a thing of the past and he does not "really feel that way anymore".
