Chace Crawford is eyeing the role that made Kevin Bacon famous in the 80′s: Ren McCormick of ‘Footloose.’ Now that Zac Efron has officially dropped out and is headed for a dramatic role instead of another musical, the door is wide open for someone else to step in and make it their own. E!Online’s Marc Malkin has this to say:

I just got word that the Gossip Girl star tested this weekend for the Zac Efron-ditched remake of Footloose.

“He did really well,” a source tells me.

Now Crawford could be a really good choice and certainly would be fun to watch.
