A-list actor identified seems unrecognizable – are you able to guess who it’s?

This Hollywood leading man looked unrecognizable in a new promotional image for his upcoming slasher film. 

The actor, 65, rocked a mustache and had his hair gelled down and combed over to the side in a photo shared to his Instagram on Tuesday. 

The Golden Globe Award winner, who’s known for his role as a dance-loving teenager in an iconic 1984 musical drama, also sported a pair of lightly tinted vintage-style glasses.

The Philadelphia native, who’s married to a famous actress, wore a dapper outfit consisting of a white turtleneck, a beige coat and high-waisted grey pants.

So can you guess who it is?

That’s right, it’s Kevin Bacon! 

The Footloose star was promoting his new film MaXXXine, where he stars alongside Halsey, Mia Goth, and Lily Collins.

Bacon plays private investigator John Labat, who is tasked with finding Maxine Minx (played by Mia).

He shared the teaser image with the caption, ‘This summer’s going to be a (scary) good one. Hollywood’s John Labat is on the case. #MAXXXINE in theaters July 5th.’ 

His wife, Kyra Sedgwick, 58, seemingly enjoyed his transformation as she left a positive comment that read: ‘Not sure how I feel about the mustache… it’s not a no…’ 

The Ti West movie is the third installment in the X film series.

Singer Halsey also gave a first look in character as Tabby Martin.

Less than one month before the film hits theaters, the 29-year-old indie pop artist, who recently revealed she has been quietly battling lupus and a rare lymphoma disorder, shared an Instagram photo of herself in full costume, which included a red wig and matching lipstick.

In the image, she could be seen rocking a tiny black dress, stockings held up by garters and a glamorous white fur coat, which fell off her shoulders and showed off the outline of the two roses tattooed on her right shoulder that she got as a teen.

‘Meet Tabby,’ she captioned the photo, in which she could be seen clutching her chest and looking frightened at something out of view.

MaXXXine directly follows the 2022 film titled, X, where adult movie actors traveled to a farmhouse in rural Texas to film a movie, and soon fight for their lives against an elderly couple who live at the home.

The third film, which is also the final installment in the trilogy, follows Mia’s character, ‘who was the only survivor of the bloody incidents of X, as she continues her journey towards fame to be an actress in 1980s Los Angeles,’ according to an official IMDB synopsis.

X first premiered at the South by Southwest Festival in March 2022, and received critical acclaim as well as positive reviews. Later that same year, a prequel titled, Pearl, was released in September 2022.

The A24 project focused on the origin story of the titular character, Pearl, who was the elderly woman (also played by Mia) who resided at the rural Texas farmhouse in X. The movie received positive feedback from both audiences and critics.

The third installment also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Giancarlo Esposito, Moses Sumney, Bobby Cannavale and Michelle Monaghan.

Bacon became a household name after starring as Ren McCormack in Footloose, where he played a teenager who moves from a big city to a small town with strict rules against dancing and rock music.

He rebels against the rules and fights to bring dancing to the community.

Bacon went on to receive critical acclaim for his emotional performance in the 2003 crime drama Mystic River, alongside Sean Penn and Tim Robbins.

He won a Golden Globe Award in 2010 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role in ‘Taking Chance’.

He was also nominated in 1995 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for The River Wild.

He also has two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award.

Aside from MaXXXine, his upcoming projects also include TV series ‘The Bondsman’, as well as Stan Olszewski’s ‘Connescence’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.’
