Kevin Bacon visited the Payson, Utah high school where Footloose was filmed, 40 years later. The event followed a social media campaign led by students who wanted the actor to attend their prom before the school was relocated. “It’s been a long time — 40 years — that just blows my mind, you know,” Bacon told the crowd. “Things look a little different around here. I’d say the thing that looks the most different is me.” Students used the hashtag #bacontopayson and reenacted scenes from Footloose to capture the actor’s attention. They also supported his SixDegrees.org foundation by pledging to create 5,000 “essential resource kits” for youth and schools, out of the nonprofit’s 40,000 goal. “And that’s what all of you have shown here, by turning what could be just a movie star coming back to get a pat on the back, into something really positive,” Bacon added.
