Kevin Bacon Tells ‘Footloose’ High School Students He’s Attending Their Prom: “I Gotta Come!”

Kevin Bacon is all set to relive some cinematic nostalgia by attending a real-life prom at the age of 65.

The star announced to a massive throng of high school students that he would be making an appearance at Payson High School’s final prom in Payson, Utah, this year. Now, this isn’t just any high school that the actor has picked out. It’s the very same school where his iconic movie Footloose was filmed back in 1984.

Kevin made the announcement on Friday to the high schoolers after the students launched a full-fledged social media campaign dubbed #BacontoPayson, where they called for the actor to visit their high school before its scheduled relocation at the end of the school year. Students recreated movie scenes and choreographed videos to get the Mystic River actor’s attention.
