The remake of Footloose arrives in theaters tomorrow, with Kenny Wormald taking over for Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack. (The original: not as fun as you remember.) The 27-year old Wormald has been a professional dancer since he was a kid, growing up in Stoughton, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. Last night, we caught up with him at the Footloose premiere after-party at Catch Roof, and spoke with him about his dancing, his Boston accent, and his willingness to protect his co-star — and Ryan Seacrest’s girlfriend — Julianne Hough from creeps.*
