Thanks to the movie 'Footloose,' Rob Lowe may never dance again. But, Rob Lowe was never in 'Footloose,' you say? As he stated on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (Weeknights, 12AM ET on ABC), he didn't even need to be in the movie for it to end his dance career.Granted, he also said he was a terrible dancer, which begs the question of why he was so determined to try to do it for this film. Maybe move on and stick to what you're good at.
"I actually blew my meniscus in my knee out on the 'Footloose' auditions," Lowe said. He went on to relate how that story isn't nearly as impressive when trying to use it as a young actor to pick up girls, but Jimmy Kimmel wasn't having any of it.
"Wouldn't you just kind of just wave them into your bedroom?" he said. "It's over there. I'll be in in a few minutes."
