Kevin Bacon was yearning and burning for somebody to tell him where his lost clothes were hiding.
Bacon, 68, pleaded with his followers to help him figure out where FedEx sent a package of clothing he sent last month to a location across the pond.
“Hey everybody, it’s me. I’m over here, I’m working in Ireland,” Bacon told his followers. “I wanted to pack light, so I decided to ship some old clothes over here to Ireland. I don’t buy a lot of clothes. I’ve had these clothes probably since the ’90s.

“So I used a shipping service that I don’t want to say the name but it rhymes with BreadX,” he said before explaining that he shipped a box of clothing on Sept. 26 from upstate New York to his filming location.
“It went straight to Memphis, and then from Memphis it to France and by Sept. 28 it arrived in Germany, and by Sept. 29, they shipped it straight to Israel, not Ireland – Israel.”
The “Footloose” actor went on to explain that the package traveled from Israel back to France on Oct. 3, only to be sent back to Israel the following day. It traveled to Germany on Oct. 5 before being routed back to Israel on Oct. 6.

“On Oct. 10, that box of old clothes made its way all the way to France, and on Oct. 11 it arrived in the UK, in England,” he said. “Pretty close. Guess what? On Oct. 11, it left the UK and came straight to Ireland, where it has been sitting for five days, and they say they’re unable to deliver it.”
