    Very first paragraph for starters.

    Old movies….

    Second paragraph

    This was supposed to obvious about upcoming stuff, what’s relevant about current projects….?

    A short read further:

    Th is paragraph more reads past tense, how does this say he has new movies coming out without prior knowledge…?

    I read the article, clearly you didn’t and are conflating articles or are bringing prior knowledge it and making connections.

    Its okay to be wrong….

      Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F is a brand new movie and is a sequel to previous BHC movies.

      That being said, I agree with you. Nothing about this article indicates that he was being humorous. If this were a video interview, there would be context. So if he was being a goof with a print interviewer, then that interviewer should have described him as such:

      “He wasn’t a fan of ordinary life. ‘No one told me they loved me and I had to wait in line for coffee…it sucked!’, he quipped tongue-in-cheek about the experience.”

      Something like that. Not indicating the attempt at humor just makes him sound like an asshole.

      Plus, articles like this get run by a star’s publicist before they are printed. I am surprised Kevin Bacon’s PR person didn’t pick up on this.
