Bacon Brushes Off Broadway Return In Footloose
3 March 2009 8:10 AM, PST

Kevin Bacon has pre-warned Broadway bosses not to bother offering him a role in a revival of his hit movie musical Footloose - because he's "not interested".

The actor starred as Ren McCormack in the original 1984 film, about a Chicago, Illinois-bred teenager who moves to a small town that has banned dancing and rock music.

The movie was turned into a musical, which hit the New York stage back in 1998.

There has been talk of a new production - but Bacon won't be involved.

He tells the New York Daily News, "I'm not interested in doing that. They did one, and that's enough for me."

All this coming from someone who was ripped-off for millions by Bernie Madoff and claimed to be looking for work, Guess he doesn't need the money bad enough.

His wife is working and gets 300,000 an episode for The Closer, so they're not hurting if he's not working.

That may be true but the point I was trying to make was that a few weeks ago he was saying that he was in need of work because of what happened with Madoff.
