The 28-year-old said he has a "great life" on the ITV show, with perks including "a lot of time off" and a short commute.
Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland, told The People: "I'm very happy, and to still enjoy your job after eight years is something special. I've always said I'll stay at Coronation Street as long as they'll have me.
"I know a lot of people would jump at the chance to work in America, but I'm just not one of them.
"I don't enjoy the celebrity lifestyle and I don't go to all the awards ceremonies and parties - it's not my cup of tea. I'd rather go home and watch TV with my wife on the sofa."
Whyment's wife Nichola, 24, gave birth to the couple's first child Thomas last month.
