Kevin Bacon hates his name because people constantly mock him.

The Hollywood actor says he is sick of being ridiculed for being named after a cut of pork and wishes he could change it. He said: "Every time one of my films comes out, I have to read 'sizzling bacon' or 'he's sure bringing home the bacon'.

"People come up to me and ask if I made up my last name. Believe me, I would have never made it up." The handsome star says he can't escape the constant torment as his surname is used in the most ridiculous ways.

--That's funny.

Wait a minute? Wait a DAMN minute? HE is considered handsome? If that's the case, I should have never quit on my acting career.

He should takes solace in the fact that he has a large slice o' bacon.

Hmmm. Riches. Fame. Lots of beautiful women over the years. Sounds like he has been well compensated for the little bit of ridicule.
