Kevin Bacon Going To Prom At High School Where Footloose Was Filmed

Kevin Bacon is going back to the high school that helped make him famous.  No, not the high school HE attended, but the high school that was used in the filming of Footloose!

I think this story is incredible.   Can you imagine Kevin Bacon showing up to YOUR prom?

The students of Payson High School in Payson, Utah, where Footloose was filmed over 40 years ago, have been actively trying to recruit the star to come to their prom.  Payson High School is a living tribute to the star and the movie, and with the school closing the students thought it might be fun to ask Kevin to come to their prom and dance one last time.

There have been flash mobs, and scenes from the movie recreated, and the students have even learned to dance just like Kevin did in the movie.

How could he refuse?  So he’s going back to Payson and getting ready to put back on some very famous dancing shoes.  The students in return are doing a fundraiser to benefit a charity that he is passionate about.
