Publish date: 2024-05-24

Kevin Bacon appears to know a thing or two about rocking a birthday suit!

The actor was quickly described by fans as aging "like a fine wine" after he shared an ab-baring beach photo in honor of his 66th trip around the sun on July 8.

In the steamy pic — which was first published earlier this month as part of a conversation between him and singer Kenny Loggins for Interview Magazine — Kevin is seen resting on a rock with the sun shining on him, wearing a navy and black swimsuit with a coordinating jacket zipped open.

"This is 66," he aptly wrote in his caption next to a birthday cake emoji, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and rave over the photo.

"Still looking awesome! Happy birthday and many, many more!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Happy Birthday Kevin. Best wishes for many more years of joy and happiness. Rock On," and: "66 looks great on you," as well as: "Happy Birthday Kevin!!! Hope your Birthday rocks."

Moreover, touching on what their work lives are really like, she added: "It's not like it's been easy, longevity is hard, you have to keep on working on trying to get a job, so there's no fantasy of like 'Life is so easy and Hollywood is so easy and movies are so easy.'"
