Kevin Bacon wants all the social distancers out there to know that they're not alone.
On Wednesday, the "Footloose" actor took to Instagram to share his new #IStayHomeFor initiative to promote social distancing in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Inspired by the pop culture phenomenon "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," Bacon encouraged his followers to share who they're staying home for to prevent the spread of the virus.
"Hey everybody, it's so important now to STAY HOME and keep our distance from others if you are able. It will save lives and prevent the spread of #Coronavirus," he captioned his post. "So if you're home too like me, post a video or photo with a sign like mine, telling who you are staying home for and ask 6 friends to do the same. Post it with the hashtag #IStayHomeFor so I can see and share. Let's spread the word! The more folks involved, the merrier - because we're all connected by various degrees (Trust me, I know!)"
Bacon also shared a video to show fans how it's done. Addressing the camera and holding up a pig-shaped chalkboard, Bacon declared that he is staying home for his longtime love Kyra Sedgwick.
"Hi, folks. You know me, right? I'm technically only six degrees away from you," he said. "Right now, like people around the world, I'm staying home because it saves lives and it is the only way we're gonna slow down the spread of this coronavirus...Every one of us has someone who is worth staying home for. And I am staying home for Kyra Sedgwick."
To kick off the initiative, the All Few Good Men star nominated pals Jimmy Fallon, Elton John, Demi Lovato, David Beckham, Brandi Carlile and Kevin Hart to share who they stay home for. After receiving her nomination, Brandi replied, "Challenge accepted!!"
In recent days, several celebrities have used their platforms to promote positivity in the midst of the global pandemic. Wanting to keep spirits high, Lizzo hosted a healing "meditation and mantra" on her Instagram, where she played a soothing rendition of her song "Cuz I Love You" on the flute for 30 minutes.
Like the Grammy winner, Miley Cyrus launched her new Instagram Live show "Bright Minded" and shared how she's staying grounded through this difficult time.
Stars like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have seized the opportunity to make a positive impact and give back to those in need by encouraging their fans to donate to several charities.
Cool guy. I’m in.
I’ve already socially distanced Kevin Bacon.
Oh, and I just threw up after reading this.
My wife got a call from her doctor. The doctor had a patient that had a friend who’s co-worker had the virus. My wife wasn’t worried - but glad to be notified.
We are in the Seattle area (we have even closer contacts than that). I told her “Yeah - it’s like that Kevin Bacon thing.” She laughed. “I saw on twitter some meme that said ‘God help us if Kevin Bacon gets the corona virus!’”
1)My sister-in-law was friends in High School with some famous reporter (my wife would remember the name).
2)That reporter has interviewed Bacon several times.

When you sat next to George did you look at him and then say “Oh myyyy”?

I clenched my cheeks and tried not to let the throw up leave my mouth. He is very effeminate in his manner in person, even more so than I have seen on TV. Would have made one ugly lady boy. He was traveling from some Con event in my city and was with another guy.
I was mulling on saying an extremely left handed complement, but thought better of it. He is such a drama queen and it would reflect badly on my city because for sure he would have gone ape sh!t about it on twitter.
A couple of years later I saw him at the Belagio prancing out of an elevator as I was waiting for one to take me up to my room.
“God help us if Kevin Bacon gets the corona virus!”
Bacon? Worry if Chuck Norris gets it. He spinning heal kicked a person with the virus and cured him and his whole family.
Tom Hanks has it and is doing fine. He’s a type II diabetic. So it is a matter of how bad you were when you started and how you treat it. It is possible to have a couple of the critical triggers and still do well.

I heard it's being spread by Twitter and Facebook. Pass it on.
I heard that Chuck Norris got the Chinese virus. The virus is now in quarantine for 14 days.
