Kevin Bacon is one of the country's most beloved actors, with more hit movies under his belt than we can count. From National Lampoon's Animal House to Footloose, to Stir of Echoes, Apollo 13, The River Wild, and Flatliners, his acting chops are truly unmatched.
Now 66 years old and the star of the Prime Video series, The Bondsman, fans can't help but wonder what's next for Bacon. And based on a new exclusive interview with PEOPLE, we shouldn't expect him to take a break from Hollywood anytime soon.
Bacon insists there's, "No slow down for me!" He added:
"It's funny because I feel like a lot of people, obviously, who are my age are happy to stop, slow down or play golf or whatever. I think I'm more, to a fault maybe, I'm just more driven than ever. There's so many things that I still want to do as an actor, as a musician, as a writer. Not as a writer, but a songwriter. As a director, no. I have no plans to slow down."
Side note: if you haven't seen Bacon's musical performances with his band, The Bacon Brothers, you're truly missing out. This man can sing.

PEOPLE asked Bacon what his upcoming career plans are. He said, "What's next? I don't know. Shockingly, I've hung in there long enough that I am always amazed that I still get offered things. It's just something I never take for granted. And the opportunities are there. They've been coming. They seem to continue to come."

Despite just how well-known he is around the globe, Bacon is such a humble, laid-back guy who clearly appreciates his fans and all the support they've given him over the years. Case in point? He recently came out to surprise students from Payson High School, where Footloose was filmed, on the Today Show.
