Kevin Bacon gives pointers to Chace Crawford for Footloose role

London, June 05: Footloose actor Kevin Bacon has apparently handed out a few pointers to Chace Crawford, who is looking to recreate the former’s dancing magic in a remake of the classic film.Crawford has been roped in to play the iconic role of Ren McCormack, previously portrayed by Bacon in 1984.

Bacon`s wife Kyra Sedgwick confessed Crawford had not only gained their nod of approval, and that of their teen daughter Sosie, but also picked few words of advice from Bacon. "We`re thrilled (with Crawford`s casting). Sosie is a big fan. We met him at the White House Correspondent`s Dinner. Kevin and he had a chat. He`s very sweet," the Daily Star quoted Sedgwick as telling People magazine. The actress further warned the immense pressure associated with the role, adding, "He has big shoes to fill!" ANI
