You Won’t Recognize Kevin Bacon In This Photo

Meet Kevin Bacon, master of disguise. Proving that every Hollywood star gets a big head sooner or later (we kid, we kid), the actor shared a selfie showing himself with a rather swollen face. Naturally, fans were thrown for a loop.

Turns out, the Footloose star didn't get stung by a bee or has his wisdom teeth pulled. It's all prosthetics, of course. But for what? The star's IMDB page doesn't show him filming any projects at the moment, and the only hint Bacon is giving fans is that he's in the U.K. As it turns out, he's a frequent commercial star across the pond, working as a spokesman for the EE mobile network. Our money is him wearing the get-up while shooting his latest ad. Or, maybe he just underwent some radical cosmetic surgery procedure that backfired. Don't try this at home, kids.
