The portly pig that had gone "Hollowman" and disappeared— similar to the way his namesake, actor Kevin Bacon did in the popular film— returned around noon on Oct. 31.
The star we are all six degrees of separation from, Kevin Bacon, took to Meta's Threads on Saturday to share a link to an article on the pig's disappearance and to demand "Bring Kevin Bacon home!"
The popular pig was taken in from a family that could no longer care for him on Oct. 13, Chelsea Rumbaugh told Daily Voice.
Chelsea's family put Kevin in a pen with three other pigs that evening but by breakfast time, he had gone "Footloose" and broken out of the fence.
The community came together, searching, advising, and helping Chelsea's family as they tried to corral Kevin back into the pen.
"He seems to be making a game of this, returning for meal times and running when he spots one of us coming closer to him. We hope to have him enclosed by the end of the day through multiple lures but as it turns out, I might not be as smart as a pig," Chelsea told us shortly after he escaped.
She explained that he appeared to be roaming in the Marsh Creek area where she knew there were many avid hunters, so she begged those hunters "Please don't shoot Gettysburg Kevin!"
The pig, Kevin Bacon, was named by his original owners. "We weren’t sure we were going to keep it until he went footloose around the yard," Chelsea told us. "Our other pigs are TuHock, Missy Smelliott, and Salt n Porker."
Kevin is happy to eat pumpkins now that he is once again safe in his pen, according to some Facebook posts by the Rambuagh family.
And the actor Kevin Bacon, well he just welcomed home some farm animals of his own! Here's a post on X (formerly Twitter) with a video of his new chickens.
The star already was raising goats, ponies, and of course pigs on the farm he shares with his wife of 35 years and fellow actor, Kyra Sedgwick.
