Kevin Bacon’s 1 Request for Wedding DJs to Avoid His ‘Worst Nightmare’
A Universal Struggle?
Imagine you’re Kevin Bacon—66, Hollywood icon, Footloose legend—and you’re just trying to enjoy a wedding like a normal human 🍾. The bride’s glowing, the cake’s a masterpiece, and then—OH NO—the DJ spins that song. You know the one. “Footloose” blasts through the speakers, and suddenly, you’re not a guest anymore—you’re a dancing monkey in a circle of tipsy strangers clapping like you’re auditioning for America’s Got Talent 🙈. On March 10, 2025, Kevin spilled this hilariously relatable tea to TODAY.com at SXSW, and his one request for wedding DJs? “Please, for the love of all that’s holy, don’t play it!” Let’s dive into his worst nightmare and why he’s begging for mercy 🎤.
When ‘Footloose’ Turns Weddings Into a Circus
The Nightmare Begins at 10:30 p.m.
Kevin’s living his best life, sipping a drink, maybe eyeing the buffet 🥐, when the clock strikes chaos o’clock—10:30 p.m. “They always start out being about the bride,” he told Variety at SXSW on March 7, “and then there’s alcohol involved.” Cue Kenny Loggins’ iconic banger, and bam 💥—the wedding’s no longer about love; it’s about Kevin. “People form a circle around me and clap their hands like I’m a trained monkey,” he groaned. Bro, we get it—nobody wants to be the unwilling star of a flash mob 😳.
From Ren to Reluctant Dance King
Back in ’84, Kevin’s Ren McCormack danced his way into our hearts, shaking up a no-dance town like a rebel with a perm 💃. Fast forward 40 years, and that fame’s a double-edged sword. “It’s what I wanted, I have no one to blame but myself,” he laughed, admitting his Footloose dreams came true—maybe too true. Now, he’s begging DJs to skip the track so he can eat his cake in peace, not perform for a crowd chanting, “Dance, Bacon, dance!” 🥓🎶
Kevin’s Plea: Save the Day, DJ!
The Preemptive Strike
Kevin’s got a game plan: he hunts down the DJ before the party kicks off. “Please don’t play that song,” he pleads, probably with those puppy-dog eyes that melted Kyra Sedgwick’s heart 💕. It’s not that he hates “Footloose”—“I love it,” he swears, and he’s “100% proud” of the movie. He just doesn’t want every wedding to turn into a Footloose reboot starring him as the reluctant headliner. Fair, right? Let the man vibe without a spotlight 🎧.
Your Hot Take: Dance or Nah?
Ever seen Kevin at a wedding? (If yes, spill the tea 🍵!) Would you let him chill, or are you forming that circle screaming, “Cut loose!”? Here’s the vibe check:
| Scenario | Nightmare Level | Bacon’s Mood |
|---|---|---|
| DJ Plays “Footloose” | 10/10 | 😱 |
| Quiet Cake Time | 0/10 | 😊 |
| You Join the Circle | 11/10 | 🙅♂️ |
Drop your vote below—I’m betting Kevin’s rooting for “cake time” 🍰.
Final Cut: Let Kevin Live!
Kevin Bacon’s one request is simple: let him wedding-crash in peace ✌️. No “Footloose,” no circles, no monkey business—just a guy enjoying the open bar like the rest of us. So next time you’re spinning tracks, DJs, give the man a break. And Kevin? Keep being the coolest—maybe sneak Apollo 13 vibes instead; nobody’s circling for a moonwalk… yet 🌙. Tell me your fave Bacon moment in the comments—I’m rewatching Footloose tonight, no clapping required! 😜🎬
