(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kevin Bacon admits that watching his old Footloose audition tape was "weird".

The 53-year-old actor starred in the original 1984 film. With the release of the newest adaptation beginning this weekend, Kevin has had time to reflect on his legendary performance.

Watching his try-out footage for the role was a surreal experience for Kevin.

"It was like a weird time-travel, out-of-body type thing," Kevin told People magazine. "It's like if you went and saw the interview you did for your first job. Wow. I literally turned the thing off, went into the bathroom, looked myself in the mirror and went, 'Jesus, is that even the same guy?'"

Upon reflection, Kevin admits that he was happy with his performance. He was filled with ambition at the time.

"Honestly, I was [pleased with the audition tape]," Kevin recalled. "The energy, the hunger, the determination... it was cockiness really. I oozed it."

Kevin has one regret about his Footloose experience. The actor wishes that he did not have a dancing double.

"Are you kidding? I was furious [about the double]," Kevin said.

"I had a stunt double, a dance double and two gymnastics doubles. There were five of us in the f**king outfit, and I felt horrible."

Kevin never wanted to admit that there were other people dancing for him in the film.

"When the movie came out, the studio told me to never mention that they used a double," Kevin said.

"While I was in no position to do this, I told them, You are out of your f**king mind!'" (C) Cover Media
