Kevin Bacon details how his marriage survived quarantine

The parlor game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" has been around for nearly three decades, but the 62-year-old actor reiterated his relatability by bemoaning quarantine during his interview on Thursday's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

"Oh, quarantine," Bacon said, sighing. "Listen, I was grateful every day to be well and have my health and the health of my family. My wife and I realized that—we've been married for a really long time, and quarantine really was an amazing test for our marriage because, I mean, we were really isolated."

The Golden Globe-winning actor continued: "After a while, we realized that we would kind of have to—even in our place—go away from each other. We'd have breakfast, then she'd basically go to the bedroom, which we call the lair. ... And then she'd text me and say, 'Do you want to do lunch later?' And I'd say, 'Sure.' We'd meet in the kitchen, then she'd go back to the lair."

Bacon married actress Kyra Sedgwick, a Golden Globe winner in her own right, in 1998. The couple, who share two kids, are often adorable on Instagram:
