Playing A Pedophile Isn't As Fun As It Sounds
The media may be lauding Kevin Bacon as a hero for his very, very brave [career suicide! why must he always take the dark roles?! tearing of hair and clothes, etc etc] decision to play a child molester in The Woodsman, but the set of a pedophile flick is still a total drag:
[Bacon's role as a "fey" hair stylist in Beauty Shop was] such a relief from the fearsome five weeks of shooting The Woodsman. When you're playing a pedophile, there are no good days on the set, no breezy romantic scenes, no goofy ad-libbing.
We're guessing that hilarious improv of Bacon as Michael Jackson and co-star Benjamin Bratt as Roman Polanski isn't going to make the DVD extras.
