You would think there is a man named Kevin Bacon knows a thing or two about how to eat breakfast! The Footless actor revealed a wild 'cautionary tale' about the time he was 'severely' burned after biting into a microwaved hard-boiled egg.
“I'm in a rock band. We've been able to do a couple of tours,” Bacon said during a new interview, RadarOnline.com can report. “You stay in these hotels that are not very high-end.”
“They often have the free breakfast, which is like waffles and eggs and a few pieces of Cheerio,” he continued during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meijers.
Bacon noted that they ventured from “one crappy hotel to another.”
“So I grabbed some boiled eggs to take with me,” he continued. “Now these eggs were, I want to say, peeled, but they were hard-boiled. I took them to the next hotel, put them in the microwave to warm them up, and turned them on for a second. Suddenly, I hear, 'boom !'”
That particular egg “completely exploded in the microwave,” which was a shame because he had to clean it up while you are hungry.
“I bite into the other egg and it's a grenade that explodes in my mouth,” Bacon told the audience, revealing that he knew immediately it would be a difficult recovery process.
The box office star took action by grabbing a cold towel.
“I take the towel off and – this is a bit gross – and the skin of my lips is on the towel,” he said. “I call the doctor, and the doctor says, 'Well, you obviously burned yourself badly,' and prescribes some things. The next month my lips were bright red like a Kansas City Chiefs fan.”
During a previous interview, Bacon talked about his culinary skills and said he is more “losey goosey” in the kitchen than his actress wife. Kira Sedgwick.
“Now, here's the thing about me as a chef. I have no idea about measurements,” he said PEOPLE in November 2023.”[Kyra] likes to have the recipe, read it and follow it.”
“I rarely follow a recipe,” Bacon admitted, revealing that he usually does his own thing and makes changes based on taste. “I like recipes because I learn something new, I get inspired by something… I usually adapt it.”
