There are some very exciting rumours floating around about Thomas right now – such as the speculation that he may replace Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford as Ren in the remake of Footloose. This could be a huge step in his movie career, seeing him take on the role previously portrayed by Kevin Bacon. Last year, he was close to playing Marco in Fame, however due to scheduling conflicts he was unable to appear. With a long history of singing, dancing and musical performance alongside his acting abilities, Thomas would be the perfect lead for a big budget musical. (Or a stunning new addition to Glee!)

Thomas was reported to have said that he was in negotiations for a “big budget” movie that was “not dark”, at the Cannes Film Festival, where he was recently promoting “Kaboom” (and looking gorgeous as ever).
