Fox News
Kevin Bacon told a crowd at South by Southwest Film Festival about how his 1984 hit movie "Footloose" becomes his "worst nightmare" when he goes to weddings.
"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, and people form a circle around me and I become a trained monkey," Bacon explained. "So I’ve gone to the DJs and said, ‘Please don’t play that song.’ It’s not that I don’t like the song." "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, and people form a circle around me and I become a trained monkey." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
The song "Footloose," co-written and recorded by Kenny Loggins for the film, is played in the final scene of the movie, and went on to receive a best original song nomination at the 1985 Academy Awards.
