According to PEOPLE.com, “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford will be take a break from life on the Upper East Side to try his hand at dancing after agreeing to take the lead role in a remake of “Footloose.”

The 23-year-old will play Ren McCormack, a rule-breaking, dancing teen–the same character that launched the career of Kevin Bacon in the original movie.

Crawford is taking the role “High School Musical” and “17 Again” star Zac Efron signed on to, but he later decided to drop out to avoid being labeled as ” the musical guy.”

The Twitter world had mixed reactions:
