Actor Kevin Bacon has recently announced that he will be visiting the filming location of “Footloose” in Utah.
He announced this on “Today” and mentioned that he would be returning to the high school where he shot the drama movie “Footloose” more than 40 years ago.
The students of this school have been running a social media campaign named #BaconToPayson to get Bacon to visit on prom day for the past few months.
The students have been recreating scenes from the movie and putting them on TikTok; they also learned the iconic “Footloose” dance and more to get Bacon’s attention so that he could visit them.
As a result, their hard work paid off, and Bacon agreed to visit the high school. The actor told NBC’s Today that he is visiting the school by saying,

He added, “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.”
Kevin Bacon 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!” The actor added,
