Cue all of the bacon jokes you can possibly come up with upon seeing this picture.

Kevin Bacon posted a shock-inducing selfie on Instagram, and needless to say it has caused a wave of concern, laughter and other mixed emotions that one could expect from seeing such a picture! He didn't address his inflated face in the caption, but instead decided to ignore his look altogether, writing, "Greetings from the UK!"

The actor-musician has been spotted as recently as mid-April looking like his normal self, so naturally the speculation surrounding his new look involves potential movie roles, commercials and anything that might involve prosthetic makeup.

"Good joke," one Instagram user commented. "You're always awesome and gorgeous."

Another went with a classic bacon joke, saying he had simply eaten "too much" of the stuff. Regardless, we've all seen him looking his handsome self in his new ad for Incredible Egg, backed by the American Egg Board, which promotes egg consumption in the U.S.

In an ad, or web film, posted online, the Footloose star is seen surprising a woman, Rescue Me actress Geneva Carr, as she's cooking breakfast. The video features several puns and innuendo. Star-struck, she asks, "What are you going in my kitchen?"

"Well, nobody knows eggs better than Bacon," he says, lying on a counter.

The Following actor has starred in other commercials before. He started appearing in ads for the U.K. mobile service EE. His wife Kyra Sedgwick even made a cameo in one of them.
