Collin Gosselinhas big plans for the future — and some of them could lead him back to the screen.
In a candid interview withEntertainment Tonight, the 18-year-old shared that “college is definitely an option.” But the son of exesJonandKate Gosselinalso revealedhis aspirations to someday become an actor.
“I’m actually interested in acting as well,” Collin said. “So maybe that down the road.”
Collin is quite familiar with being on-screen. He previously appeared onKate Plus 8(formerlyJon & Kate Plus 8) alongside his parents and many siblings. However, he doesn’t have an interest in re-entering the reality television world.
Additionally, Collin expressed interest in enlisting in the military around “May or April” of next year.

Collin’s parents, Jon, 45, and Kate, 47, divorced in 2009. The former couple has since established a very tumultuous dynamic, leading the kids to ultimately pick sides.
Though Collin and his sister Hannah currently live with Jon, the siblings' fellow sextuplets — Leah, Joel, Alexis and Aaden — reside with Kate. The exes also share 22-year-old twins Mady and Cara.
Addressing the family’s estrangement in hisETinterview, Collin said he thinks the Gosselin’s TLC reality series “tore us apart.”
“It gave us less time to actually be together as a family [and] more time to be in the public eye,” he explained.

The teen also said his relationship with his mom changed after she sent him to a live-in learning facility.
“After being there, I didn’t have a relationship with her,” Collin said of Kate. “Even before [being] there, I don’t think we had much of a relationship and I think that just kept tearing it even more down. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t have a relationship. I think every son wants to have a relationship with their mom. But I’m doing very well.”
When asked if he would still welcome a relationship with Kate, Collin said, “Yes, it would be ideal.”
