Chace Crawford, star of Gossip Girl, has reportedly auditioned to fill Zac Efron's dancing shoes in the remake of Footloose.
The High School Musical actor was slated to take over Kevin Bacon's lead role in the updated film, but pulled out earlier this month (Mar09).
And now Crawford is being lined up for the part - and has impressed movie studio bosses with his screen test, according to E! Online.
A source tells the website, "He did really well."
Efron had long since been linked with the remake of the 1984 classic, which starred Kevin Bacon in the lead role, after his turns in both High School Musical and Hairspray.
The actor pulled out of the project for fear of being typecast.
