Kevin Bacon serenades his GOATS with acoustic cover of Beyonce’s Heated from his farmhouse

He recently tried to recreate a viral dance from his classic film Footloose, which left his wife Kyra Sedgwick with an injured wrist.

But Kevin Bacon opted for a far more low-key performance on Sunday when he posted a video to social media of himself singing an acoustic cover version of Beyoncé’s new son Heated.

The 64-year-old actor strummed a red guitar while sitting on a wooden platform at what appeared to be his Connecticut farm while his curious goats climbed up for a closer look.

Kevin’s video showed him sitting on a wooden platform, which appeared to be a play area for his goats, with an open hiding spot below his feet and a long plastic tube they could walk through to his side.

He was dressed casually on the sunny day with a white tank top, slim gray jeans and red-and-white trainers, while he wore a gray trucker hat and sunglasses. 

‘Hot day, hot song,’ he said at the start of his clip before he began strumming his guitar.

Beyoncé’s original song, which is featured on her latest hit album Renaissance, opens with a sparse reggaeton beat, but Kevin’s version was radically different with his whispered vocals and syncopated guitar.

Help from his friends: 'He actually played!' Kevin exclaimed halfway through his performance after the black goat nibbled at the strings and accidentally plucked a high note

Renaissance’s version of Heated concludes with Beyoncé delivering a braggadocious rap, but the Apollo 13 actor skipped that part and focused on the song.

Kevin’s goats apparently couldn’t get enough of his sweet tones, and one black goat climbed up the platform to nudge at his guitar, while another relaxed on its side behind him.

‘He actually played!’ Kevin exclaimed halfway through his performance after the black goat nibbled at the strings and accidentally plucked a high note.

‘The goats and I are feeling Heated, @Beyonce. Loving this track. #GoatSongs #Renaissance,’ Kevin added in his caption.

‘That was pretty good!’ he said approvingly at the end of the clip, before petting his goats affectionately. 

Beyoncé released Renaissance, her seventh studio album, on July 29, following the release of the advance single Break My Soul.

The album was an instant hit, debuting atop the Billboard 200 albums chart, and receiving widespread critical acclaim.

Although he showed that he’s still a capable vocalist, Kevin is better known as a dancer thanks to his breakout role in Footloose.

Earlier this summer, he joined in on a viral dance from the film in which he had to hold his wife Kyra Sedgwick up sideways, before dropping her down and flipping her back up by her arm.

The maneuver didn’t go as well as it appeared in the video, as he later shared a photo of the actress icing her injured wrist.
