Salvador dali was the only way I could get over 2 (he's 3) in about 5 minutes of trying.

Oh yeah, and stephen hawking is 3.

It's got to be hard to get there if all of the connections are mapped -- I'm a 3. (I worked briefly with Giancarlo Giannini to prep him for his role in the awful Mimic, since I was shining shoes for a living at the time and the producers were willing to give me $200/hr to show him how to hold a brush; Giannini was in Hannibal with Julianne Moore; Moore was in Crazy, Stupid Love with Bacon.)

Spoiler alert

The highest I can find after some research is a 7. If you want to see it, Rot-13 this: Jvyyvnz Ehshf Funsgre

Edit: I promise this isn't a Rick Roll.

Justin Bieber (4) - admittedly an edge case, but a popular candidate without close ties (yet). It also includes the "classical baby i ' m grown up now the poetry show" link, with which I wasn't previously familiar.

Justin Bieber is actually a 2. http://oracleofbacon.org/cgi-bin/movielinks?a=Kevin+Bacon...
