Kevin Bacon On His Negative Animal House Experience (It Wasn't Just The Hazing Scene)

Animal House has long been heralded as a cornerstone of American comedy cinema, but the Kevin Bacon Animal House role has become problematic due to some behind-the-scenes issues. Animal House is a classic gross-out comedy that broke new ground with its raucous humor, rebellious spirit, and a memorable cast that brought the anarchic world of a 1960s fraternity to life. Among the ensemble was a young Kevin Bacon portraying Chip Dillard, a naïve college freshman pledging the elitist Omega Theta Pi fraternity. While the film has achieved cult status, Bacon didn't have the best personal experiences on set.
