Kevin Bacon says that protecting pigs has made him cease seeing them as, properly, bacon.

“I no longer eat goat and I no longer eat pig, because I have goats and I have pigs,” the actor told People in an interview for the journal’s “Sexiest Man Alive” concern, which was launched Friday.

The “Footloose” star and his spouse, fellow actor Kyra Sedgwick, personal a farm in Connecticut the place they’ve an assortment of animals, together with alpacas and Shetland ponies ― one in all which has a pesky behavior of biting Bacon in the butt.

“I love animals, they are a joy to be around, and they’re very, very calming for me,” he advised People.

But although he eschews pork and goat meat, Bacon isn’t totally vegetarian, and it feels like Sedgwick want to hold it that means.

“My wife … is like, ‘We can’t get any more animals, because you’re going to stop eating everything,’” he advised the journal.

That stated, the 2 definitely eat their veggies. In 2021, Bacon shared a social media video that confirmed him making a “(mostly) vegetarian Bolognese” for Sedgwick. And again in 2012, Bacon told Grub Street that the couple’s signature dish to arrange was kale salad. When the meals web site then requested whether or not the pair had been vegetarian, Bacon replied: “No, but I love kale. Both of us love kale.”
