How Kevin Bacon's Daughter Sosie Bacon Upheld Their Spooky Family Tradition

Publish date: 2024-06-22

It’s natural for a father to be proud of his daughter, particularly when she’s taking a page out of his own book. But as Bacon told The Hollywood Reporter, the demands of Sosie Bacon’s role in “Smile” were extraordinary. Bacon explained that, unlike most horror movie tropes that start pleasant before turning nightmarish, Sosie’s film dove headfirst into the thrills and chills. 

“Even knowing how hard she had worked, and knowing she was good, when I saw the movie, I was just really taken aback with, not only with how great she was but also how hard that role was,” Bacon said. “It’s one of those parts where there is no break. That’s a movie where the stress level is [insane]. I was very proud of her.”

Sosie’s dad wasn’t the only receptive audience member, either. “Smile” was nominated for Best Movie, and its leading actor, Sosie, was nominated for Most Frightening Performance at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards (via MTV). The psychological thriller also won an ASCAP Film and Television Music Award for the Top Box Office Film, per the “Smile” IMDb page.
