Chace Crawford to star in “Footloose” Remake

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.
