In a 2011 interview with PEOPLE, the actor explained what it was like to see his audition tape for the film decades later. He said his younger self had “energy, the hunger, the determination … it was cockiness really. I oozed it.”
“It was like a weird time-travel, out-of-body type thing,” Bacon said at the time. “It’s like if you went and saw the interview you did for your first job.”
He added, “I literally turned the thing off, went into the bathroom, looked myself in the mirror and went, ‘Jesus, is that even the same guy?’ "
