Speaking at a panel during the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, Bacon shared his worst nightmare involving the hit track &#8220;Footloose,&#8221; 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 &#8216;Footloose,&#8217; 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&#8217;t want his presence to overshadow the couple&#8217;s special day. Interestingly, despite playing Ren McCormack in &#8216;Footloose,&#8217; a character known for his dancing skills, Bacon admitted that he was &#8220;not a trained dancer&#8221; before taking on the role and had to learn for the film. This revelation adds an interesting layer of context to Bacon&#8217;s portrayal of Ren McCormack, as it highlights how much effort went into perfecting the character&#8217;s dance moves in order to make them believable.<\/p>\n<p>[Original Article](https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/footloose-star-kevin-bacon-shares-how-movie-still-haunts-him) #&#8217;footloose&#8217; #star #kevin [Visit GhostAI](https:\/\/ghostai.pro\/)<\/p>\n<p>[Join our Discord](https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/zgKZUJ6V8z)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Bacon, the star of the 1984 film &#8216;Footloose,&#8217; has revealed how the movie&#8217;s iconic title song still haunts him more than four decades after its release.
