Ever since 1984, we have been watching Kevin Bacon dance to Kenny Loggins’ song Footloose, the theme song for the movie with the same title.
But I don’t think we have ever seen the actor sing the tune with the singer. But that all changed on Saturday when Bacon joined Loggins on the stage in Santa Barbara for the final date of not only his This Is It tour but also his career.
What a way to go out!
Too bad Loggins is done touring because I would love to see him hit the road with The Bacon Brothers.
Kevin Bacon found an old pair of rollerskates from 1976, and he decided to give them a spin. Even though they were two sizes too small, he was still able to skate like he dances.
I thought to myself, is there anything he can’t do? And then we found out. Yes, there are things he can’t do.
Because after two successful songs, he said, “And one more, cause I’m still standing,” stood up, and fell on his butt.
So maybe he should stay off the wheels for another 45 years because he needs to protect that cute butt.
Musicians all over the world idolized David Bowie. The singer transformed himself all the time and created music that will last for generations to come.
One of the musicians who was enamored by Bowie was Kevin Bacon. When the actor met the iconic musician at a party, he was in awe. Little did Bacon know that Bowie would say something to him that would leave him speechless. And it is something related to speech.
The Footloose star told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday that Bowie said to him, “I watched a lot of your movies to learn how to do an American accent.” As soon as he processed what he had just heard, his jaw just dropped. Whose wouldn’t? That is a massive compliment because who wouldn’t want to be the inspiration to their Rock Gd?
On a Bowie/Bacon note. Is it just me, but could you also see the actor playing the legend in a movie about to Rock icon?
Kevin Bacon has been acting for over 40 years, and yet he rarely works with animals. However, at home, he is 1 degree from them.
So, he likes to serenade his goats and record their reaction. Since they are barn animals, they do what they want. For example, they will pee if they want to, even if the camera is on them, as you can see in the bloopers video he shared.
And this is why he doesn’t work with animals. I can’t say I blame him.
Kevin Bacon and his daughter, Sosie, who is her mom’s mini-me, danced to Meghan Trainor’s Made You Look. And they made me look because the actor is still footloose when he dances!
