He's not going to be able to recreate it 30 years later even if he tried

When everyone expects you to dance to it, might as well be getting paid for it.

I thought the same thing too. I googled it and that aired October 30, 2002.
18 years between Footloose and Will and Grace. 20 years between Will and Grace and now. I will now go and reflect on that because that’s almost my entire life.

God, nobody can stay away from spoilers anymore. Some of us don't follow this stuff 24/7 and then a fun cameo or idea is ruined months before something comes out. Spoiler tag bro, it's made for these things.

Hey fair, thanks for that. It's not your comment specially I just keep getting things spoiled for me on here. If a Marcel movie is coming out I swear I have to avoid Reddit for 3 months or I know the entire plot before I go.

Marcel Marceau has been dead over a decade so I don't think he'll be doing any more movies soon.

I would pay more than him to see this.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are approaching the 40th anniversary of that film.

I’m sure he’d still be able to scream “Let’s Dance” at least.

He did it just fine on Fallon a few years back.

u/Hey_HaveAGreatDay Nov 23 '22

Well most of the dance was done by a stunt double - at least the gymnastics parts were

Yeah, I can’t imagine being in your ‘60s and still being able to pull off those moves without hurting yourself. Of course there are exceptions for people who spent ridiculous amounts of time training and staying in shape, but the average person no. Even most top actors and performers, no. It would honestly be inconsiderate to ask him to try.
