Bacon explained that he later began searching for his own place but only had a $150 budget to rent an apartment in Manhattan.
“So, basically, it was a kitchen and another room,” Bacon recalled. “And he said, ‘That’s three and a quarter a month. And I said, ‘I can’t afford that, and I don’t have a roommate.’
“And he said, ‘What about this guy?’ I’m sitting on the couch, and I look, and I don’t know this guy. And he goes, ‘You want to live together? I was like,’ Yeah, OK. Yeah, OK. We’ll live together.’
“And we lived together for four years. In fact, I just had lunch with him the other day.”
During a 2019 appearance on “The Corp” podcast, Bacon said he believed his money struggles were over at the time.
“I thought that I was 100% done,” he said. “The movie paid … more money than I had ever imagined. It was something like 700 bucks a week. And I was out there for five weeks.”
