Lowe is an investment partner with Tom Barrack and Colony Capital, which has a stake in Miramax. This afternoon, Lowe is sitting in his sunny office at Miramax in Santa Monica. But as anyone who saw his shirtless pose on the cover of the recent Vanity Fair can attest, time has been kind for the eternally handsome Lowe. *settle down, it’s not a link to the tape, it’s a link to a really good interview about the tape.The former “Brat Pack” heartthrob of such films as 1983’s “The Outsiders” and 1985’s “St. While the friend read, a casting director asked Andrew if he could take a Polaroid of him while he waited… A month later, Andrew is starring in the movie.’ Instead, a kid from New York named Andrew McCarthy accompanied a friend to his audition for a small role in the film. ‘I had hoped my pal Emilio would play opposite me in Class, but it was not to be.

“Well, I got my best friend, Charlie, my brother Sean, and maybe Charlie’s big brother, Emilio.”‘ I’m the director.” Now this is exciting – kids shooting their own movie! I ask him who else is doing his movie, hoping he will ask me to be in it as well.

He’s open, friendly, funny, and has an almost robotic, bloodless focus and an intensity that I’ve never encountered before. ‘I start talking to the kid from back East. For his slow-reveal on particular actors, actresses and projects – Then he pulled me close and whispered in my ear in a voice so thick I almost couldn’t understand him, “Stay out of the clubs.” His entire face fell, and his mood darkened in an instant. ‘…at once, I knew I’d said something wrong. Belushi asked what he wanted to be when he grew up and Rob replied that he wanted to be an actor – When Rob was thirteen-years-old, he met John Belushi. Sure, he wasn’t going into detail about the sex-tape* but he does draw attention to the irony, given that he was working on Bad Influencewhen the tape appeared. He’s grateful for his success – humble, even – and calls out his own bad behaviour. The chapters on The Outsiders – beyond marvellous.Ġ2.

If you’re in the first category (and I say, ‘Well done, you’), let me a give you few reasons why you’ve made a very good decision:Ġ1. Okay, first I’ll get the gratuitous pics out of the way…Īnd perhaps one more for good measure (clearly I have no shame):īasically there are two types of people – those who would consider reading Rob Lowe’s extremely interesting and well-written autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends and those that aren’t even reading this post.
