It was recently announced that the 23-year-old actor will lead the cast of Paramount's Footloose remake. Speaking to People, Crawford admitted that the physical training was harder than he imagined.
"I've started prep for that and I'm extremely sore," he said. "I've been training four days, but I'm extremely sore. It's really intense. We're getting the gymnastics and doing some workouts. I'm learning some basic moves."
He added: "I've got a little rhythm. I'm realising everyday how much of all the nine months [of prep] I'm going to need."
Footloose director Kenny Ortega admitted that he made the Gossip Girl star audition go topless for his new role.
