Rob Lowe Insisted Son John Owen Tell Kevin Bacon About Failed ‘Footloose’ Audition

Rob Lowe is opening up about the life parallels in his new series Unstable with his son John Owen Lowe.

A family affair! Rob Lowe and son John Owen Lowe have teamed up on a handful of projects in the past, but their latest collaboration — the new Netflix series Unstable — is their most personal one yet.

Two of a kind? Rob Lowe and son John Owen Lowe may star on Netflix’s Unstable together, but they are not sure if Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval better hold that title.

Rob Lowe and his 28-year-old son, John Owen Lowe, got downright serious — and a bit emotional — during their latest appearance on .The father-son comedic duo had a lot banter during Thursday's show, trading barbs and zinging each other. But the conversation turned serious, after Barrymore opened up about her sobriety journey and sharing that her family supports «me through my pitfalls.»She then commended Rob and John Owen for supporting «each other through every high and low.» Rob chimed in and talked about being in recovery for 33 years now.

Rob Lowe revealed he had to cut his honeymoon short to film "Wayne's World" in 1992. Lowe appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show," where the two talked about some of his hit films. "I had to come back from my honeymoon to do that movie," Lowe admitted.

One was fiercely focused, the other accident-prone. They both made it.

There is no code to crack when it comes to making marriage work, but "Unstable" actor Rob Lowe has a few secrets he's willing to share after being married for over three decades.  "It is not just Hollywood, it's everywhere. Marriage is hard.… It can be hard – marriage is not hard. If it were hard, nobody would do it.

In a world where studios are desperate to create the next big franchise, it’s always interesting to see these sorts of things pop up in a truly organic way. “John Wick” is a good example of this.

Ti West has locked in an all-star cast for his Mia Goth-led A24 horror pic MaXXXine, with Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.), Moses Sumney (The Idol), Michelle Monaghan (Nanny), Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher), Lily Collins (Emily in Paris), Halsey (Americana), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul) and Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill) closing deals for roles.

John Owen Lowe addressed his status as a “nepo baby” in a new interview.

John Owen Lowe, Rob Lowe’s son and star of Netflix’s “Unstable,” is weighing in the nepo baby discourse, calling it a “very important conversation.”“I do think that it should be acknowledged, and privilege is inherent in the entertainment industry as it is in many other ones too, and it is just in life in general,” John Owen told TheWrap. Lowe, who began his career as a writer on “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which stars his father, also urges those who might be benefitting from their family’s stature to acknowledge their inherent privilege for their the sake of their own development.“I think those that have it need to be at the very least aware of that, in order to have a semblance of groundedness, or a healthy take on reality,” Lowe, 28, said.

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon's almost 35-year marriage is filled with compromises and bizarre phobias. The adorable pair were guests on Thursday's episode , where they discussed their unusual aversions and how that impacted one of Bacon's roles.«He was asked to play a dancing, singing M&M, the candy.

“some dialogue,” he confided most in his therapist about the show’s striking resemblance.“The truth is, when I’m really feeling like, it’s all getting too meta for me, he’s not the right person to go to because it’s about him, so I have to find other resources,” John Owen said.

Emily Longeretta When John Owen Lowe began writing on “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which stars his dad, Rob Lowe, he couldn’t resist venting to members of his team. His complaints about going “stir crazy” were so funny that they told him to pitch it as a show. With that, Netflix’s “Unstable” was born: The sitcom, which premieres March 30, stars the two actors and co-creators as estranged father and son Ellis and Jackson. The comedy is fictional — but rooted in reality. “Jackson’s estranged from his dad. It never got that bad between my dad and me,” Lowe, 28, says. “[Jackson is] a little more socially awkward and lost than I am. I did experience pockets where I didn’t have an identity, because of what it was like growing up with a father who sort of sucks the air out of every room you’re in with him.” 

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic The conversation about “nepo babies” has grown tiresome — and not just because “nepo baby” itself is such an unattractive turn of phrase. (Was “nepotism case” too hard to pronounce, somehow?) The general outrage over the idea that children of famous actors find themselves drawn to acting, ginned up by an artfully provocative recent cover story in New York magazine, has tended to elide the simple fact that said children often find themselves acting because they share talents with their parents, who are famous for good reason. So it is with John Owen Lowe, who seems like a slightly altered carbon copy of his father Rob (of “The West Wing” and “Parks and Recreation,” among others), with the smarm ironed out. Together, they’re headlining “Unstable,” a new Netflix comedy that’s infuriatingly better than it needed to be. Lowes père and fils share executive producer credits with Victor Fresco and Marc Buckland, two creatives with long comedy résumés. And what might have been expected to look like a Lowe family vanity project — Rob Lowe has built a sort of performed vanity into his public persona, after all — has ended up as a sharply written comedy with some genuinely great lines.

Kyra Sedgwick joked husband of 35 years Kevin Bacon fell in love with her on their first date after she remarked how high the menu prices were at the place where they were dining.  "We had dinner one night and that was it," Sedgwick told People magazine this week of their whirlwind romance.  She admitted that when she first met him on the set of 1987’s "Lemon Sky" she was a "little standoffish."  "I remember thinking, 'Oh, he thinks he's really cool,’" she said of Bacon who had already starred in "Footloose" by that time.   But they soon connected on their first date a few weeks later.  "It was a nice dinner. I opened the menu and said, ‘I can’t believe these prices and he instantly fell in love," she laughed, adding, "I was like, ‘Oh my God! This place is really expensive!’"  Bacon remarked, "Wow, a girl that actually looks at the prices!" "She’s a keeper!" Sedgwick joked as Bacon added, he was thinking, "I’m going to marry her!"  Sedgewick said she realized he was the one the morning after their date.

Rob Lowe is one proud dad.
