Put any actors name in google followed by "bacon" and "number" and google will calculate the six degrees. allegedly a score higher than 4 is rare.

Miley from glenroe's bacon number is 2.

Anyone I tried the score is always 2. Trying hard for a three...

Every search I do ultimately ends up linking them to someone that Kevn Bacon starred in X-Men with. Did half of bloody Hollywood star in that movie or something?

I just realised that I myself have a bacon number, and it's 3 .

Shryke · 14-09-2012 1:31pm

Patti Smith and Eamon Holmes are 3. I can't get a 4 yet.

r3nu4l · 14-09-2012 1:44pm

Stan Laurel = 3
Oliver Hardy = 3

CardBordWindow · 14-09-2012 1:46pm

This is going to make the rest of the day very unproductive!

Am I the only one that doesn't understand this..? Is it "bacon number (actor name)"?

Ah, it's (actor name) bacon number, without the quotation marks.

This website should be of use:

Edit: Works with any actors, not just Kevin Bacon.
