Kevin Bacon Was Turned Down for a Role in This Iconic Movie Sequel


Kevin Bacon revealed that he tried to land a role in the upcoming ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ sequel but was turned down

Released in 1984, Footloose follows Kevin Bacon’s Ren McCormack, a Chicago teen who moves to a small town where dancing has been banned by the local minister, Reverend Shaw Moore (John Lithgow). Reiner reprises his role as opportunistic documentarian Marty Di Bergi, while Guest, McKean and Shearer are back as Tap members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls, respectively. Fans can also expect callbacks to memorable characters from the original, as Fran Drescher and Paul Shaffer are returning as Spinal Tap’s publicist Bobbi Flekman and the inept promoter Artie Fufkin.
