Kevin Bacon's son has never seen Footloose.

Travis Bacon, 37, has confessed he is yet to see the iconic 1984 musical-drama film, in which his famous father had his breakout leading role as Ren McCormack.

However, the musician enjoyed watching his 68-year-old dad in 2007 thriller movie Death Sentence.

Speaking to hosts Jake Robards and Emily Wachtel on the Nepo, Baby! podcast alongside his sister Sosie Bacon, 34, Travis said: "I remember actually being like really hyped to see that and really excited.

"You know, like, 'Wow, that's tight.' That's a movie I would watch anyway and now it's my pops with the shotgun and doing the thing."

However, Footloose - widely regarded as one of Kevin's best-known works - has passed him by.

Speaking about the film's premise, he said: "Something about dancing in a town?"

Footloose follows Chicago teenager Ren McCormack (Bacon), who moves to a conservative small town where a grieving local minister (John Lithgow) has outlawed rock music and dancing following a fatal car crash.

Determined to hold a senior prom, Ren rallies his classmates to challenge the town council and overturn the ban, sparking a rebellion against local censorship.

But Travis has enjoyed other music projects his dad has been involved in.

He added: "I definitely was always interested in the music stuff my pops was doing."

Due to Kevin and actress Kyra Sedgwick, 61, being his parents, Travis is labelled as a "nepo baby" by some - but he tries to "embrace" the tag.

He added: "I think at this point I just sort of embrace the term and I think it's funny.

"It doesn't even matter whether you're a nepo baby or not a nepo baby.

"Everybody wants to paint the story about you that they want to see for whatever reason.

"And I also understand the part of it that you see the highlight reels.

"You see the place where it went. You don't see all the rejection and everything else and the pressure that was there in front of you before the reward that's in front of you."
