I’m sure there is much more to this interview than Rob Lowe being shirtless..but honestly..they had me at ‘shirtless ‘Rob Lowe’. But if you want more substance then here are some interesting tidbits from the interview.
Rob covers the new issue of Vanity Fair and reveals an excerpt from his upcoming autobiography, “Stories I Only Tell My Friends.” The passages, which he reads in a podcast on the magazine’s website, focus on his teen idol era, and, more specifically, his time shooting the star-studded film adaptation of “The Outsiders,” which would prove to be his breakout film.
Co-starring with young heartthrobs such as Charlie Sheen, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze and Matt Dillon, Lowe talks about his amazement at the strange world of Hollywood celebrity.
On Tom Cruise: The Outsiders” auditions was the first time Lowe got to know Cruise. “He’s open, friendly, funny, and has an almost robotic, bloodless focus and an intensity that I’ve never encountered before,” Lowe remembers. He describes a scene in which he’s taken aback by the accommodations provided for them at a New York City hotel — but because they had to share rooms, Cruise called his agent to make sure it was okay. “Zeroed in like a laser,” is how Lowe describes him at the time.
On Charlie Sheen: Lowe calls Sheen a “one-of-a-kind… a Polo preppy clotheshorse in a world of O.P. shorts and surf T-shirts,” and describes his unique personality as “a wonderful mix of nerd… and rebel.” His home, thanks in part to the success of his legendary father Martin Sheen, boasted “never-ending Häagen-Dazs, brand-new BMWs, a lagoon pool with underwater tunnels, and a lit, professional-grade basketball half-court.”
