Father’s Day Fail: Kevin Bacon Locked Newborn Son in Car

Kevin Bacon confessed that he has made some big mistakes as a father—and in 1989 he certainly didn’t win Father of the Year.  And this big mistake certainly didn’t land him on our list of celebrity dads we love (although we do love Kevin Bacon). The 56-year-old star told Vulture during an interview at the BAMcinemaFest that in 1989, he accidentally locked his newborn son, Travis, in the car. That’s a BIG oooooops. Bacon said, “When my son was born [wife Kyra Sedgwick and I] took him back from the hospital. We locked a newborn in the car with the keys in the car and the motor running.” “A guy from the garage put his fist through the window and broke in because my wife and I were obviously panicked. My publicist is laughing at me. We were new parents. You know, it was hard.”  Luckily, baby Travis was fine.  He is now alive and well and is working as a musician.  Travis even attended the BAMcinemaFest with his dad to support Bacon’s new film Cop Car . Kevin and Kyra Sedgwick married in 1988, the year before Travis was born. They are also parents to 23-year-old Sosie, an aspiring actress. Bacon and Sedgwick have a weird relationship for Hollywood—they are still together and love each other. In 2013, Bacon told Larry King “I think that we just really, really enjoy each other’s company.”   “I think that we are kind of meant to be together,” he added.

Jake Lloyd: Star Wars Actor Suffers from Schizophrenia, Attacked Mother Just Weeks Before High-Speed Chase

Last week, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace actor Jake Lloyd was arrested following a chase with police, during which he allegedly reached speeds in excess of 110 mph. Cops tried to pull Lloyd over for driving recklessly and he proceeded to lead them on an incredibly dangerous high-speed pursuit that ended when he crashed into a tree. Lloyd was unharmed, and after realizing that he was not under the influence, police say that they immediately began to suspect that he 26-year-old was suffering some sort of mental illness. Now, TMZ is reporting that Lloyd suffers from schizophrenia and may have been off his medication for several months before the police chase. Lloyd has reportedly managed his illness without incident for several years, but police records indicate that he broke into his mother’s home and assaulted her back in March. Since then, Lloyd’s behavior has become increasingly erratic, and insiders say they hope this latest incident will convince him to get the help that he needs. Lloyd was released from custody the day after the chase, but has yet to speak with the press. He quit acting abruptly after his high-profile role as Anakin Skywalker in the first installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. In the years since, he’s described his time in the spotlight in mostly negative terms.
