Kevin Bacon shared on The Drew Barrymore Show that he dislikes hearing 'Footloose' at weddings as it takes the attention away from the couple. He described how guests tend to form a circle around him after the song plays, expecting him to perform, which he feels is inappropriate. Bacon acknowledged the film’s significance in his life but prefers to celebrate weddings without reminders of his iconic role. He also praised students who invited him to their prom with a clever campaign, reinforcing his connection to the movie.
"I don't like it when they play 'Footloose,' and I'm gonna tell you why. The star at the wedding is the bride and the groom."
"If you go to a wedding, it always starts... then the drinking starts and about 10 o'clock, the DJ plays that song, people kind of form a circle around me and start clapping."
"My feeling is I'm not the focus here. It's gotta be about those two people, that's why I tend to not want to hear it at a wedding."
"I've been so impressed with everything that's been going on there with this crazy idea to get me to come back."
