From an early age, Sosie began acting in movies and made her debut with her father Kevin Bacon's 2005 directorial Loverboy. She played the younger version of her mother's character as her father thought she would be perfect for the role.

After growing up, Sosie landed a number of notable roles in several movies and shows, including 13 Reasons Why, Mare Of Easttown, Narcos: Mexico, and Here And Now.

Kevin Bacon throws light on his parenting style

Kevin Bacon is all set to appear on the April 3 episode of Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals. According to a clip shared with People Magazine, Bacon told host Josh Scherer how he and his wife dealt with fame while raising their kids.

In the clip, Bacon revealed that neither he nor his wife took their kids to their movie premieres. They also did not show their kids their work.

"When it came to promoting my own fame and taking my kids to premieres and making them watch my movies and showing them an article in the paper…we really didn’t do that. We really avoided it. I think we really felt like it would be nice for them to have some…we knew how weird this life was."

Bacon further called it a "weird way to live" to know that whenever a famous person steps out of their home, people are going to know them or "have some kind of point of you about you from a piece of work that you’ve done."

"Because they didn’t choose it. That’s the thing. When it comes to fame, I’ve nobody to blame but myself. It was my thing. I’m the one that fought tooth and nail for it. But for them, it’s something that’s thrust upon them," Kevin Bacon added.

As Bacon continued to talk about his parenting, he added how his kids did not sign up for the fame that they got from a young age. Therefore, he chose to "let them figure out their own thing." However, he still tells his kids to let him know if they find their lives in the industry troubling or sitting with a therapist.
