Kevin Bacon needs your help. The Footloose actor took to social media on Friday, October 16 to share the harrowing story his clothes have been on for almost a month, which you can watch above.

Kevin, 68, is working in Ireland and instead of traveling with several pieces of luggage, decided to ship some of his favorite items of clothing to The Emerald Isle instead. Unfortunately for the actor, his clothes have still not arrived.

Seated in front of an ocean sunset, Kevin spoke to the camera telling the tale of his missing clothes that he's had "since the '90s." He shared his beloved clothes that were shipped out on September 26 were mistakenly sent to Israel instead of Ireland – not once, but three times.

Nearly a month later, Kevin's clothes are finally in Ireland, but he has still not received them. "On October 11th, [the package] 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."

He acknowledged that he – who is worth some $45 million with his wife of over 35 years, actress Kyra Sedgwick – could go purchase new clothes. "I could buy some clothes, but I want these clothes," Kevin admitted, adding: "I've had them since the '90s. They have a certain sentimental value."

Kevin, please know that all of us at HELLO! are with you and hope that your clothes are delivered as soon as possible!
