Film star Kevin Bacon has appealed to help a pig also named Kevin Bacon find a home.
The Footloose star, 62, lives in Manhattan but took an interest in a Scottish SPCA appeal.
The animal welfare charity is hoping to find a new home for four-year-old neutered male kunekune pig Kevin Bacon, who is being cared for at Edinburgh and Lothians Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.
The Hollywood actor wrote: “Help a fellow Kevin find a home?”.
Diane Aitcheson, the Scottish SPCA centre’s manager, said: “We would love to find Kevin the forever home he deserves.
“He would love a home in a farm type setting in the Edinburgh area with someone who has experience with pigs and the relevant CPH licence to keep them.
“He loves fruit but hates potatoes and is always happily grunting away to anyone who passes.
“Kevin will need to an appropriate setup with an insulated shelter that will keep him cool in the summer and warm in the winter, as well as having a suitable fence to keep him secure.
“He likes to play with his treat ball and enjoyed playing with and eating a pumpkin at Halloween. His new owner will need to regularly change his enrichment games to prevent him getting ‘boar-ed’.
“Kevin is a big, friendly chap so might even be suited to a home in a petting zoo or similar where he can get lots of attention and ‘hog’ the limelight.”
