Kevin Bacon surprised fans with a blast-from-the-past look after his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, shared a throwback photo showing him with long, flowing hair — a stark contrast to the shorter blond style he’s often seen with today.
The Closer star posted a carousel of ‘90s snapshots of the couple on Instagram, playfully captioned: “Mom, what were you like in the ’90s?” In one image, Kevin wore a striped collared shirt, gray jeans, and an oversized blazer, with shoulder-length hair that many fans noted made him resemble his son, musician Travis Bacon.
Followers flooded the comments with admiration for the couple, with many praising how little they’ve changed and calling them one of Hollywood’s most enduring pairs. Over the years, Kevin has experimented with numerous hairstyles — from long locks to bleached blond and shorter cuts. He once revealed that singer Sting heavily influenced his hair choices, even inspiring the look he wore in Footloose.
Recently, Kevin also sparked buzz online when he appeared to sport a mullet in a TikTok video with Kyra. The surprising look turned out to be a playful illusion, created by positioning Kyra’s hair behind his head. He later admitted he noticed her hair during filming and thought the moment was too funny not to use.
The nostalgic post comes shortly after Kevin and Kyra teamed up professionally with their children, Travis and Sosie Bacon, for the horror-comedy Family Movie. The couple, married since 1988, welcomed Travis in 1989 and Sosie in 1992. Sosie has built a successful acting career, while Travis leads the metal band CONTRACULT Collective and also works as a composer.
Despite initial concerns about mixing family and work, the collaboration turned out to be smooth and surprisingly harmonious. The family described the experience as highly collaborative, with everyone contributing creatively — and the project ultimately bringing them even closer together.
