During a panel at the South by Southwest Film Festival, actor Kevin Bacon reflected on his breakout role in the 1984 film 'Footloose.' He humorously shared that his worst nightmare is hearing the iconic title song at a wedding, leading to unwanted attention and pressure to perform. Despite not being a trained dancer, Bacon enjoyed dancing in his youth and initially underestimated the dance aspects of the film. The song, which became synonymous with the movie, still impacts him more than 40 years later.
"My worst nightmare is to be at a wedding and the DJ puts on the music and the song comes on and suddenly the wedding becomes about me."
"But when they sent the script to me, I did not know it was a dance movie. They had talked about choreographers, and I was like, 'I don't really need a choreographer.'"
