Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick reveal ‘surprising’ relationship insights

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are relationship goals. The actors have been married for 38 years, but still are surprised by each other.

The two were honored as recipients of the Moving Image Industry Award at the 40th Annual Moving Image Awards at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City on June 10. There, they shared some relationship insights and things fans may not know about each other.

“Kevin is a great interior decorator,” Kyra, 60, told People.

Kevin, 67, jumped in and said: “I find that she is constantly surprising me. Not only with who she is, because she’s someone who is never stuck in one sort of idea. She’s much more willing to experience new things or try new things or change her mind about [things].”

The Footloose actor continued: “Like, she’s got a movie now called Carolina Caroline. It’s like one scene, and it’s an amazing, surprising kind of performance. I didn’t see her do it, but we were talking from the set. She said, ‘I’m really going for it, I hope it’s going to be okay,’ and I saw it and I was like, ‘Holy [expletive]. I haven’t seen you do this before,’ so that’s cool as a performer and a person.”

The family attended the Provincetown Film Festival where their new horror-comedy film, Family Movie, was being screened. The horror film, which was co-directed by Kyra and Kevin, officially premiered in March at the SXSW Film & TV Festival. 

Before the film came out, Kyra explained that she was “nervous” to pitch it to Sosie and Travis, and was later surprised by their enthusiasm. Speaking with the rest of her family with Entertainment Tonight, she detailed how the project, a horror-comedy movie fittingly titled Family Movie, came to be, shared: “I don’t think that we were necessarily looking for something to do together.”

Sosie opened up about the idea of the horror film coming to life while talking to People. “No, I didn’t have to audition. They suggested that the four of us do a movie together,” she said. “We wanted it to be comedy horror kind of energy. We met with a couple of writers. Dan [Beers] was just the right man for the job,” she added of the movie’s screenplay writer.

“He zoomed with all of us individually to try to get a sense of us because we didn’t know him before. And then we read the script that he produced and we were like, ‘Oh my God, this is so accurate. How did he know all that from a couple of zooms?’ So yeah, I mean it didn’t take much convincing. We were excited.”
