(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kevin Bacon was mortified when he mistakenly reprimanded a woman he thought wanted a photograph of him.

The star was enjoying a meal out in Los Angeles with his wife Kyra Sedgwick when the incident occurred. The pair were tucking into their meal when a woman seated near them quickly got up and began walking towards them, clutching a camera.

No, no! Were just having a quiet dinner. Please respect that, Kevin spluttered, according to a source.

The woman immediately blushed deeply and apologised for interfering. She explained she simply hoped the star or his wife would take a picture of her and her pals to commemorate their meal out, prompting Kevin to apologise profusely.

Oh! I thought you wanted to take a picture of us, he laughed.

He then stood and took the photograph, much to the womans delight. She spent the rest of the evening looking confused, before someone explained Kevin was a major Hollywood star and not just another person enjoying a restaurant meal. (C) Cover Media
