Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon know how to cut loose together.
It’s partly why, when the opportunity to work together onscreen came up in the form of the new film The Best You Can, the pair jumped at the chance.
“I always know that when I throw the ball, he’s going to throw something back,” Kyra told E! News in an exclusive interview during the premiere of their movie June 7. “As an actor, I think you don’t always know that your partner is going to do a great job acting partner, not just life partner. But knowing that it’s him, I know it’s going to be exciting and fun to work with him, and we’re going to keep mixing it up and having a great time.”
And after 36 years of marriage, that off-camera camaraderie is easy to replicate with the camera turned on.
As Kevin explained, “I think they call it a scene partner for a reason, because you have to, in that moment, form a sort of partnership, even if the partnership is that you’re two actors who hate each other.”
