Kevin Bacon recently declared he would not be getting 'footloose' any time soon, only to belt the classic 80s song a month later.

Footloose saw him play Ren McCormack - a Chicago teenager who tries to overturn a ban on dancing in a small Utah town. Kenny Loggins sang the track, which became an international hit, while the music video featured Kevin, 66, and his dance moves.
