Kevin, I loved working with you on that."
Bacon also gave his take on Hughes, whodied of a heart attack in 2009.
“John was a director that really wanted me to be with him a lot.
We hung out every weekend.
I mean, he made zillions of great movies, and they were all from his life experience.
But this one, I think, was the closest that it was to him.”

Immediately after Hughes’s death, Bacon reflected on the film for EW.
“I was extremely proud of the movie,“he wrote.
“It’s without a doubt his most serious film.
He noted then that he spent a lot of time with the director.
“We would always go for really long and really fun dinners with his family.
He loved to just talk, sit and talk, laugh, joke, tell stories.”
