Kevin Bacon Puts His 'Six Degrees' Fame to Use in Online Campaign
Back in the day, 1994 to be exact, actor Kevin Bacon became the center of a game of sorts, called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Basically, any actor could be traced back to Bacon through six or less actors they had each worked with at some point.
Speeding up to now, Bacon is using that same game to reinforce the importance of staying home and six feet away from others. He's turned to Instagram and has asked people to share his post, which includes #IStayHomeFor, and tag six people they are staying away from. Bacon has chosen Sir Elton John, Demi Lovato, Kevin Hart, David Beckham and Jimmy Fallon.
You can watch his pitch below:

The hashtag #IStayHomeFor translates to who you want to keep from making sick by staying home. Bacon is staying home for his actress wife Kyra Sedgwick, who we hear in the background, exclaiming, "Kevvv?" He tells her he's in the middle of something. Does she know what he's up to!? Good stuff, that is.
It makes us think about our 2015 poll, Who is the British Kevin Bacon? With the late Alan Rickman winning.
Which six people are you going to stay home for?
