Kevin Bacon Will Return to ‘Footloose’ High School 41 Years Later After Students Campaigned to Get Him for Prom Day: ‘I’m Gonna Come. I Gotta Come!’


Kevin Bacon will return to the high school where he shot "Footloose" more than 40 years ago.

“It hasn’t gone unnoticed by me, not to mention the fact that you tied in SixDegrees.org, our foundation, and are trying to figure out ways to give back to your community,” he continued. “Footloose” turned Bacon into a bonafide movie star and teen sensation, but he said on the “Podcrushed” podcast last year that path clashed with his original aspirations as a performer. When the SAG-AFTRA strike ended last fall, for instance, Bacon posted a viral video of him recreating the “Footloose” dance in celebration of the actors’ victory.
