Okay so I was super excited and confused because I didn't know that Footloose was filmed in Payson, but turns out its Payson UTAH. Whyyyyy do people do this to us.
Anyway, Kevin Bacon made good on a promise to visit the soon to be demolished high school if they helped out his organization, in which they delivered.
Bacon appeared at Payson High School on Saturday, months after the school’s students launched the #BacontoPayson social media campaign. As part of the effort, students recreated movie scenes and choreographed videos in hopes of catching the actor’s attention so that he’d appear at the school’s final prom.
Payson High School is set to relocate at the end of the school year.
“When I first heard about this Bacon to Payson thing, I was like, ‘Wow, this is crazy.’ But you were all just tireless,” Bacon said in his speech on the school’s football field on Saturday, according to ABC7. “You talked me into it.”
Bacon said he appreciated the student’s commitment.
