Not ‘f***able’: Kevin Bacon tells Tribeca Film Fest how he nearly missed out on iconic ‘ Footloose ’ role 40 years agoSomehow, Kevin Bacon was not the studio’s first choice to land his iconic role in “ Footloose .”
In a conversation with moderator and Deputy Editor of GQ Michael Hainey immediately following the screening, Bacon admitted that he originally resented being so closely tied to the role, but has since come to adore it for the joy it brings others. “Yeah, that’s true. I don’t think it’s true that I’m not f***able, but it’s also true that she said that. She definitely said that,” Bacon revealed. “She said it to the director.”
Fans also learned that the film’s ending changed before it was released in theaters, a decision Bacon believes secured success for Footloose.
