Kevin Bacon Saw a Dead Body in a Swamp While Making ‘Wild Things’

Kevin Bacon recalled seeing a dead body floating in a swamp while filming the 1998 erotic thriller 'Wild Things' in a new interview.

He shared the story in a new interview with Variety, recalling a night shooting a scene by a river, during which the production crew had floated a raft onto the water to stage a light. That was kind of indicative of the vibe of the movie.” (A fai enough assessment for an over-the-top flick about the conspiracy that’s uncovered after a police officer begins investigating accusations of rape two high school students have brought against their guidance counselor.) For those thinking that sounds a little too farfetched, Wild Things director John McNaughton confirmed the incident in an interview with Entertainment Weekly back when the movie was originally released.
