According to EW:
But Paramount was far from sold on him as Footloose‘s rug-cutting rebel Ren McCormack. According to Bacon, they didn’t think he was sexy enough. But the film’s director, Herb Ross, thought otherwise. So he got Bacon a $1,500 haircut and set up a screen test for him to strut his stuff for the studio in the hopes of changing their mind.
The Footloose remake stars Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Kenny Wormald, Miles Teller, Andie MacDowell, Ray McKinnon and will be with us September 27th.
