You'd think that if anybody ever asked you trivia questions about your own life, you would know all of the answers without hesitation, am I right?
Well, apparently not, because that isn't quite the case for Kevin Bacon.
In a recent exchange on Buzzfeed’s “Degrees of Kevin Bacon”, he was having a "really hard" time answering trivia questions about himself.
It was truly hilarious, considering the questions were literally about his own life.
For starters, he was born in 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He made his grand debut to acting in 1978, starring as Chap Diller in National Lampoon's Animal House.
The turning point for him didn't come until 1982, when he starred in a film called Diner.
This ultimately set the tone for the rest of his acting career. It was all up from there!
He took on extra roles and bystanding character roles to fill his time until his big break finally came along!
Then came his roles in She's Having a Baby,1988, Tremors, 1990, With Fred Ward Flatliners,1990, and of course, Apollo 13, 1995.
All great films, if you ask me.
I think it's safe to say that his filmography is impressive!
The objective of the quiz was for Kevin to recall if he worked with certain actors at some point throughout his career or not.
“This sounds really, really hard," he said.
And he wasn't lying. He did terribly. his final score was abysmal.
So, here's one more thing you can add to the list of things you now know about Kevin Bacon: He has an awful memory!
"And people just started coming up to me and saying ‘I was playing your game have you heard about the game?'”
“I really thought it was a joke at my expense," he said.
It may have started off as a joke at his expense, but it has evolved into something much more.
“If you take me out of it, the actual concept is sort of a beautiful one,” he concluded.
