- Hey, I'm Kevin Bacon.
Here on BuzzFeed.
And I'm going to do a little quiz about,
I guess, it's about me.
It's the law that states that anyone in Hollywood
can be linked to Kevin Bacon in six steps or less.
Although, turns out that so many famous actors
are a mere two degrees of separation.
In honor of Kevin's new horror movie
"You Should Have Left" we're putting him to the test
to see if he knows how he's connected to
his fellow horror movie actors.
This sounds really, really hard.
(dynamic music)
Each question links Kevin Bacon
to another horror movie star.
And it's up to you to figure out
if he starred in a movie with that actor.
Or which of his former costars
starred in a movie with that actor.
So let's see.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "Midsommar's" Florence Pugh?
Meryl Streep, or Viola Davis, or Kevin Bacon himself?
I think it's Meryl Streep.
Correct!
Kevin Bacon starred in "The River Wild" with Meryl Streep,
who starred in "Little Women", that's right,
with Florence Pugh, aka a Bacon number of two.
All right, now I'm cooking with gas.
Which one of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "Halloween's" Jamie Lee Curtis?
Was it Brad Pitt, was it Benedict Cumberbatch,
or was it Kevin Bacon himself?
I'm gonna say Benedict Cumberbatch.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sorry, sorry Jamie Lee.
I don't why I forgot that.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars

Was it Forest Whitaker, or Steve Carell, or me?
I don't think it was me.
I'm just gonna go Carell.
Ah man, wrong.
Wrong, Kevin Bacon starred in "The Air I Breathe"
with Forest Whitaker, who starred in "Black Panther"
with Daniel Kaluuya, aka Bacon is the number of two.
Ah, yeah, of course.
Ah man, I'm terrible at this game.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "Hereditary's" Toni Collette?
Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, or me?
I don't think I was in a movie with Toni.
I was in a movie with Emma Stone.
Maybe she was in...
Oh, I'm just gonna go with that.
Wrong.
Kevin Bacon starred in "Crazy, Stupid, Love"
with Julianne Moore who starred in "The Hours"
with Toni Colette, aka Bacon is the number of two.
I was close though.
Well I wasn't even close really.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "Carrie's" Sissy Spacek?
Was it Mary Steenburgen, Kyra Sedgwick,
or Kevin Bacon himself?
Oh, me.
Wrong, Kevin Bacon starred in "The End of the Line"
with Mary Steenburgen who starred in "Four Christmases"
with Sissy Spacek, aka Bacon is the number of two.
Well I was in a movie with Sissy, by the way.
Yeah, I was.
We were in "JFK".
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "IT Chapter Two's" Jessica Chastain?
Was it Jennifer Lawrence, Lana Condor, or me?
I was not in a movie with Jessica Chastain.
I think I'm gonna go Lana Condor.
Wrong.

I hope everybody out there is doing better than me.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
with Sarah Michelle Gellar?
Kevin Jonas, Kevin Costner, or Kevin Bacon himself.
This is the Kevin round.
I guess I'm gonna say Kevin Jonas.
Wrong.

Oh, oh yeah, that's right, of course we did.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars

I'm gonna say Laurence Fishburne.
Wrong.

who starred in "Star Wars the Last Jedi"

I'm really doing badly here.
Which of these former Kevin Bacon costars
starred in a movie with "The Shining's" Jack Nicholson?
Tom Hanks, Alfre Woodard, or me.
I pick me, correct.
Kevin Bacon and Jack Nicholson
starred in "A Few Good Men" together.
Only Kevin Bacon should be able to pass this.
Well, I got two out of nine right.
So that's kind of a poor showing.
I heard about the six degrees of Kevin Bacon sometime,
I think it was in the late '90s.
And people just started coming up to me and saying,
I was playing your game, I was playing your game.
Have you heard about the game?
And I really thought it was a joke at my expense.
I thought the idea was, can you believe
that a lightweight like this could be
connected to Laurence Olivier, or...
But I really think that if you take me out of it
the actual concept is to me sort of a beautiful one.
'Cause it's really not about me,
it's really about the connectivity of people.
That's what we look for all the time,
is ways to connect with people.
Please check out "You Should Have Left",
which is a movie that I'm actually in,
so I would say zero degrees,
which is on demand everywhere on June 18th.
Hope you dig it.
