Stressful days on set, long nights on tour with his brother and his band Bacon Brothers: 60-year-old actor Kevin Bacon has every reason to look old. Why many still consider him younger, he has now betrayed in an interview with the broadcaster "Tele 5".

"I eat healthily, do sports, meditate and have good sex, good sex is important," said Bacon in the conversation scheduled to air by the end of February. "But if you see me in film and television, I also wear makeup, which helps enormously."

In his own words, the "footloose" actor was aware early in life that his film career will not last forever. "I've had this fear since I was 17. I think that's what this profession brings with it, and actors never know if they'll be asked forever or not."

He also had moments in his life when he was frustrated, "because I did not get the role offers I wanted, or not as many offers as I would like, I love the time on set."
