In honor of the 40th anniversary of the film Footloose, Kevin Bacon just shared a MAJOR announcement.
Kevin Bacon is returning to the high school where it all happened. On March 22, it was revealed that this will be the last year the famous school will be open.
And as a result, student at Payson High School have been petitioning to have Kevin Bacon attend the final prom that will be hosted inside the building.
And as Today reports, Bacon heard the students’ pleas and surprised them with a special announcement.
“I have been so impressed with everything that’s been going on there with this crazy idea to get me to come back,” Bacon told the students in a broadcasted live feed. Also telling them how important their school and the movie are to his life.
“I’ve been amazed at the work that all of you have been putting into this, with the musical and the flash mobs and the re-creations,” he said. “It hasn’t gone unnoticed by me, not to mention the fact that you tied in SixDegrees.org, our foundation, and are trying to figure out ways to give back to your community. It’s really inspirational, so thank you. Thank you.“
“And I’m gonna come. I gotta come,” Kevin Bacon told them.
His announcement was meant with immense excitement from the gym full of students awaiting the good news.
