Donning a disguise, Phoenixville’s Kevin Bacon tried walking around as a regular person in a Los Angeles mall, and the famous actor ended up hating every moment of it, writes Elizabeth Wellington for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice,” he said. “Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to I don’t know buy a … coffee or whatever. I was like, ‘This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.’”

This month, Bacon is starring in MaXXXine, the third installment of a popular horror film series, and in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix.

While it might sound silly that the actor finds it cumbersome to wait in line for coffee, the bottom line is he is famous. He has been famous for most of his life, in large part due to his father, Edmund Bacon, who was one of the most notable city planners in Philadelphia and is credited with developing the Society Hill neighborhood.

“I saw [Edmund] get recognized by people when he would walk down the street and seeing that was definitely a big driving force in my life,” said Bacon.
