"I know Zac and we're actually friends," Crawford tells Entertainment Weekly. "He's gotta make the best choice for his career at this point and I have to make the best for mine -- and luckily it worked out for both of us." The magazine also reports that a spokesman for Paramount Pictures confirms that singer and "Dancing with the Stars" winner Julianne Hough will screen-test this week for the female lead role in the film.
Crawford, 23, tells EW.com about his brutal audition for the part in the remake of the 1984 dance classic that starred Kevin Bacon as a big-city kid who moves to a small town where dancing is banned. "It was, like, five hours of the most rigorous tests ever," says Crawford, but he added, "I walked out very confident."
He says one thing that may not reappear is some of the more elaborate choreography. "I don't know if the gymnastics [high bar] scene is going to make it. I've got some movement in me, but I'm not a dancer," Crawford admits. "I need to start stretching now."
Chace Crawford is replacing Zac Efron in the remake of Footloose! Thoughts?
