Kevin Bacon Embraces Ethan Hawke Identity
15 Jul
Summary
- Kevin Bacon playfully impersonated Ethan Hawke on social media.
- Both actors have long been noted for their striking resemblance.
- They previously participated in a challenge to tell each other apart.
Kevin Bacon recently leaned into the ongoing comparison between himself and fellow actor Ethan Hawke. The 68-year-old star posted a video on Tuesday, July 13, where he impersonated Hawke, even introducing himself as "Ethan Hawke." This lighthearted moment serves as a continuation of the actors' shared amusement over their pronounced physical resemblance.
During promotions for their 2023 film, "Leave the World Behind," Bacon and Hawke, 55, took part in a "zoomed in challenge." This social media trend involved identifying each other from extremely close-up photos of their faces. The challenge underscored how difficult it was even for them to differentiate their features, including wrinkles and teeth.
Both actors have publicly acknowledged the confusion, with Bacon previously stating he sometimes "gets Ethan Hawke'd." Hawke has also shared anecdotes about fans mistaking him for Bacon, even receiving praise for Bacon's iconic role in "Footloose." The pair even contemplated wearing shirts identifying each other as a publicity stunt, with Julia Roberts suggesting matching suits for a premiere.
