Before we had smartphones and tablets, we had to rely on our brains to have fun. We’d sit around and play games with our families for hours. A successful road trip included playing the “license plate game,” “car ride bingo,” or our personal favorite, 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. This one also comes in handy with just about any group of people. The premise is pretty darn simple. You can connect any star in Hollywood back to Kevin Bacon in six people or fewer.

It’s Easier than You Might Think to Play 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon’s been in a lot of movies with big stars. If you can connect him to those stars who have their own far-reaching web of co-stars, it’s not too hard to play. Kevin Bacon posted a hilarious clip on Instagram, realizing the 6 degrees game is about him.
“When you realize YOU are the one everyone is 6 degrees away from,” text on the screen reads.
Kevin looks up with a perplexed yet excited look on his face. Of course, he’s only joking, but it’s fun to watch him play along. Fans got in on the magic immediately.
“Your niece was my student at Emory, so one degree !!” Someone wrote.
“My husband was an extra in the movie ‘Flatliners’ (1990). He’s ONE degree!!” Another person claimed.
This story made us laugh.
“I live in a small town and I’ve always joked that living here was like playing ‘Six degrees from Kevin Bacon’ except without Kevin Bacon. Then someone moved here that knows Kevin Bacon,” another fan joked.
This person asked something we’ve never considered, but now we can’t stop thinking about it.
“How does it feel to be zero degrees from Bacon?”
