Bacon Bored Of Name Puns

Actor [Kevin Bacon](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/kevin-bacon) hates his last name because it inspires relentless porcine puns.

The 46-year-old star, who appears in upcoming comedy [Beauty Shop](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/beauty-shop) alongside [Queen Latifah](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/queen-latifah) and [Alicia Silverstone](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/alicia-silverstone), would never have picked Bacon as his last name.

He tells website PAGESIX.COM, "I was in THE RIVER WILD with [Meryl Streep](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/meryl-streep) and we had a premiere in Libby, Montana (US), and there was this burger house that put on its marquee their 'movie star special', which was a burger with 'Two Streeps of Bacon'.

"Every time one of my films comes out, I have to read 'sizzling bacon' or 'he's sure bringing home the bacon'.

"People come up to me and ask me if I made up my last name. Believe me, I would have never made up my last name."
