Kevin Bacon has a very important message!
The actor is the new face of one hilarious mock PSA, titled "#FreetheBacon," for Mashable. In the spoof, the 57-year-old actor addresses a growing "problem" in Hollywood: The lack of male nudity in television and film.
Check out the hilarious video above to see why the "Wild Things" star wants you to help him "free the bacon."
"In so many films and TV shows, we see gratuitous female nudity, and that's not OK. Well, it's OK, but it's not fair to actresses, and it's not fair to actors, because we want to be naked too. Gentlemen, it's time to free the bacon," he explains in the video. "And by bacon, of course, I mean your wiener, your balls and your butt."
The actor is no stranger to on-screen nudity, either. He's bared his bod in flicks like "Wild Things" and even says he was nude in movies like "Hollow Man," "My Dog Skip" and "Frost/Nixon" as well.
"'Game of Thrones': You've got three sex scenes an episode. How hard would it be to just show one or two wieners every couple of minutes? This is an issue of gender equality," Bacon says. "Let me be on the show. Come on! I'll play a naked wizard or something. I've done it before. Have you seen 'Wild Things'? I was super naked in that. It was awesome. Matt Dillon was there. He saw my wiener."
Kevin even calls out a few actors who've appeared in some steamy flicks and forgone nudity, revealing that he's ready to step up and replace them.
"'Fifty Shades of Grey': I heard that you never even see it! Why not let Jamie Dornan take off his pants?" he asks. "Or better yet, let me play Christian Grey! We'll do the whole movie in one long close-up of my penis."
Bacon likewise reveals he's tried to get a full-nudity clause in all of his contracts, too.
"I actually have a nude scene in every film that I'm in. I put it in my contract 'full-frontal' and they take them out," he explains. "They say, 'Kevin, you don't need to be naked in this. It doesn't make sense.' 'Kevin, it's an animated film. You're in a voiceover. Please put on your pants.' 'Kevin, you're not even in this movie. Why are you here and why are you naked?' Bulls--t!"
At the end of the PSA, the "Footloose" star calls for a change -- asking people to use the hashtag #FreetheBacon and tweet pictures of their genitals. Unfortunately for the actor, he's informed mid-interview that he should not be advising people to do such a thing ... and ends up storming off set.
