No Footloose Broadway Role For Kevin Bacon

8 months ago 04th Mar 15:00

Kevin Bacon has pre-warned Broadway bosses not to bother offering him a role in a revival of his hit movie musical Footloose - because he's "not interested".
 
The actor starred as Ren McCormack in the original 1984 film, about a Chicago, Illinois-bred teenager who moves to a small town that has banned dancing and rock music.
 
The movie was turned into a musical, which hit the New York stage back in 1998.
 
There has been talk of a new production - but Bacon won't be involved.
 
He tells the New York Daily News, "I'm not interested in doing that. They did one, and that's enough for me."

Despite enjoying a successful career with roles in the likes of Apollo 13, JFK, Mystic River and, more recently Frost/Nixon Footloose remains the role that the actor is most associated with.

A reamke of the eighties classic is already in the pipeline with Zac Efron rumoured to be attached to the project.
