Sosie Bacon talked about working with famous parents Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon.
In an interview with People Magazine, Sosie revealed that she almost turned down father Kevin’s film.
At the premiere of the family’s next film project, the horror-comedy Family Movie at the SXSW Film Festival, the actress said, “He directed me in Loverboy, which I did when I was 11, and actually at first I was like, ‘I’m not doing that movie.'”
“Thank you for the offer. I’m doing well. I want to stay in school. I’m 11,” she added.
Sosie added: “And then he said, ‘No, come on, just do it.'”
“So I ended up doing it. It was a lot of fun, and I think he’s great to work with. They both are. They’re very respectful of your own process as an actor. They’re both actors, so it’s a lot easier to, you know, communicate, and I just had a great time then and now,” she said.
It is pertinent to mention that Sosie Bacon appears in Family Movie with both her parents and her brother Travis Bacon. About the family project, she jokingly said, “No, I didn’t have to audition. They suggested that the four of us make a movie together.”
Referring to the film’s screenwriter, Sosie said: “We wanted it to be a comedy horror type energy. We met with a few writers. Then [Beers] was exactly the right man for the job.”
“E zoomed in 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 thought, ‘Oh my God, this is so accurate. How did he know all that through a couple of zooms?’ So yeah, I mean it didn’t take much convincing. We were excited,” she added.
