Kevin Bacon, the star of the 1984 film ‘Footloose,’ has revealed how the movie’s iconic title song still haunts him more than four decades after its release. Speaking at a panel during the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, Bacon shared his worst nightmare involving the hit track “Footloose,” which he believes could turn any wedding into an impromptu tribute to himself and his character Ren McCormack from the film. The song, co-written and recorded by Kenny Loggins for ‘Footloose,’ went on to receive a best original song nomination at the 1985 Academy Awards. Despite its success, Bacon has asked DJs not to play it when he attends weddings, as he doesn’t want his presence to overshadow the couple’s special day. Interestingly, despite playing Ren McCormack in ‘Footloose,’ a character known for his dancing skills, Bacon admitted that he was “not a trained dancer” before taking on the role and had to learn for the film. This revelation adds an interesting layer of context to Bacon’s portrayal of Ren McCormack, as it highlights how much effort went into perfecting the character’s dance moves in order to make them believable.
