I thought it was just a movie, and then, where they would indicate that there was dancing, I would just get up,” Bacon claimed. “They claimed something concerning a choreographer and I claimed, ‘You don’ t truly require a choreographer. I’ll simply rise and dancing. It’s not a large bargain. Simply play the document for me and I’ll leap about.’ So I was most definitely not educated by any kind of stretch of the creative imagination.”
