Kevin Bacon, the veteran actor who has an estimated net worth of $50 million, is currently making headlines after he demanded more male nudity in Hollywood. Since several prominent figures have been making huge efforts in fighting against rooted sexism in the industry, Bacon's proposal seemed to be the solution to the problem.

On Tuesday, Kevin Bacon, whose net worth is listed as $50 million by The Richest, appeared online in a fake public service announcement on Mashable's Watercolor. According to Detroit Free Press, Bacon demanded more male nudity in the video he called an "issue of gender equality."

"In so many films and TV shows, we see gratuitous female nudity, and that's not O.K.," Bacon said, Vanity Fair quoted. "Well, it's O.K., but it's not fair to actresses, and it's not fair to actors, because we want to be naked, too. Gentlemen, it's time to free the bacon. And by bacon, of course, I mean your wiener, your balls, and your butt."

In the NSFW video, Kevin Bacon emphasized the graphic sex scenes in the hit HBO television series, "Game of Thrones" as an example of too much female nudity.

"You got three sex scenes an episode, how hard would it be to just show one or two weiners every couple of minutes?" the 57-year-old "Wild Things" actor said. "This is an issue of gender equality. Let me be on the show. Come on, I'll play a naked wizard or something. I've done it before. Have you seen Wild Things? I was super naked there, it was awesome."

Aside from "Game of Thrones," Bacon also criticized "Fifty Shades of Grey," saying that lead star Jamie Dornan should've been seen naked, Fox News noted.

"Why not let Jamie Dornan take off his pants?" he added. "Or better yet why not let me play Christian Grey?"

Meanwhile, Kevin Bacon, whose new movie "Cop Car" opens on Friday, is considered as one of Hollywood's most prominent stars who has amassed a lucrative net worth value. Considering his extensive and diverse body of work, he is named as one of the best actors in the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, he has never received an Academy Award nomination.

With his remarkable talent and net worth, Kevin Bacon has also become an icon for the concept of interconnectedness (as in social networks), having been popularized by the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". In 2007, he created SixDegrees.org, a charitable foundation and a social networking with a social conscience. In 2003, Bacon received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Apart from being an actor with a $50 million net worth value as per Celebrity Net Worth, Kevin Bacon is a husband to actress Kyra Sedgwick and a proud dad to their two children, Travis and Sosie.
