Why is Sarah Jessica Parker not in the last scene of Footloose?
The actor revealed that it was almost a year before the cast got back together to reshoot the scene, which might explain the absence of Sarah Jessica Parker. Fans fo the cult film have long wondered why she isn't a part of the final sequence. “We still kept the 'Let's dance!
Chuck Cranston is Ariel's boyfriend and a recent high school dropout. He doesn't have much ambition besides making sure he has control over Ariel. Willard is a country boy of few words and even fewer dance steps.

Hough is 23 and plays an 18-year-old as if she were in her early 30s, bringing in notes of gravity, weariness, despairing recklessness and even self-disgust.
Ariel falls in love with a human prince named Prince Eric after saving him from drowning, and visits the sea witch, Ursula, who agrees to turn her into a human in exchange for her voice.
On the day of the movie's famous warehouse shoot, “I had a stunt double, a dance double and two gymnastics doubles,” recalls Bacon. “There were five of us in the f—ing outfit, and I felt horrible.”
Principal photography began on May 9, 1983. The film was shot at various locations in Utah County, Utah. The high school and tractor scenes were filmed in and around Payson and Payson High School.

In a 2013 interview with Howard Stern, Kevin Bacon admitted that he has actually tipped DJs at weddings not to play "Footloose". He stated that people expect him to dance to the song as he did in the movie. In truth, while he did do some of the dancing, there was also a dancing double for him.

The movie itself does not explicitly state Ariel's age, but Disney's production notes for the film shared by Yahoo! describe the lead character as a "spirited 18-year-old." The evidence behind Ariel being aged up two years compared to the animated movie can be seen in the live-action remake.
