(CNN) - What's your Bacon-nection? Google rolled out one of its newest features this week - the Bacon Number .

While it has nothing to do with everyone's favorite food, it does calculate the your favorite actors' degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon.

You simply type "Bacon Number" into the Google search bar and then an actor's name.

For example, Christian Bale's "Bacon Number" is two. Bale is starring in a called film "Lawless" with Ryan Gosling, who was in "Crazy Stupid Love" with Kevin Bacon.
