Kevin Bacon is laughing now, but his latest outdoor adventure sounds more chaotic than relaxing.
The âFootlooseâ star revealed this week that a simple hike with his daughter, actress Sosie Bacon, quickly turned into an all-out bee attack â and thankfully, the family found humor in the situation afterward.
Bacon Recaps the Bee Attack
In a funny video shared to Instagram on Thursday, Bacon, 67, recalled exactly how things spiraled while hiking with Sosie and her partner, actor Scoot McNairy.
âSo I went for a hike the other day with Sosie and Scoot,â Bacon explained in the clip. âScoot was in the front, Sosie was in the middle, and I was holding up the rear.â
Everything seemed normal at first â until McNairy noticed something nearby.
âScoot points out to the left that thereâs a beehive over there,â Bacon continued. âSosie says, âDad, hey, thereâs a beehive. Watch out.ââ
The Oscar-nominated actor said he made an effort to avoid the hive, but apparently the bees had other plans.
âSo these bees, they must not have liked my work or something because they left the two of them alone, and they went full on after me. âLetâs attack KB,ââ he joked.
According to Bacon, the bees did not hold back.
âBees stinging me everywhere, including underneath my shirt,â he shared.
While the ordeal sounds painful, Bacon managed to turn it into comedy â especially when it came to his daughterâs reaction.
âNow, it was very nice of my daughter to not take out her phone and start videoing this epic bee sting dance that I was doing,â he laughed. âBut I asked her if there was any way that she could recreate it from memory.â
The video then cut to Sosie hilariously reenacting what her father described as his âepic bee sting dance.â
âThereâs bees in there,â she joked while pretending to swat invisible insects away, wildly flailing around with a hat and dramatically pulling off her sweater.
Bacon captioned the post, âThe bees attack KB by @sosiebacon.â
Fans Couldnât Get Enough of the Funny Reenactment
Fans immediately flooded the comments with jokes and praise for the familyâs sense of humor.
âI think you created a new Footloose dance â Iâll call it the Bee Sting Boogie,â one fan joked.
Another referenced Baconâs famous Hollywood game, writing, â6 bees of Kevin Bacon.â
âOMG!! That dance is hysterical although Iâm sure KB didnât enjoy it. Feel better,â another person commented.
Even Baconâs wife of nearly 40 years, actress Kyra Sedgwick, couldnât resist chiming in.
âSoooooo gooood!â she wrote alongside laughing emojis, clearly entertained by their daughterâs dramatic performance.
Sosie, 34, has carved out her own successful acting career in recent years, appearing in projects including HBOâs âMare of Easttown,â âNarcos: Mexico,â and Netflixâs â13 Reasons Why.â
She also landed her breakout leading role in the 2022 horror hit âSmileâ â something Bacon previously said made him incredibly proud.
âWhen she got this part [in Smile]⦠when I saw the movie I was just really taken aback,â he told the Hollywood Reporter at the time. âNot only with how great she was but also how hard that role was.â
