[@user-et1hp8vs1v]

1. Schoolboy Father 2. Matter of Time (I watched very little) 3. The Outsiders 4. Class 5. Thursday's Child (I watched some of the movie) 6. Oxford Blues 7. St Elmo's Fire (some clips) 8.

Bad Influence (1990)

[@maggieharper3575]

rob lowe might be the only person who could say “i was too pretty” and actually have me liking them more after

[@alisong826]

It’s only okay when rob lowe and Ian sumerhalder

[@podcrushedpodcast]

🤣

[@__iTimmayy]

When he said his awkward phase was "too pretty" and looked like Brooke Shields, I knew this episode was going to be amusing. Rob Lowe: The Legend.

[@46foryounger]

Rob Lowe saying he’s a craftsman as an actor completely makes him an artist.

[@iralia333]

❤ the intelligence of Penn's questions and Rob's responses: beautiful to listen to.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Rob Lowe is one of the most beautiful and funniest actors. (The list includes Penn too)

[@BieberFever1016862]

So glad he talked about the cut scenes from the Outsiders!! After seeing the full cut I was low key enraged by what was left behind in the original- so much more of that affection and care between the boys he was taking about. Also a way better soundtrack lol

[@biancajacobsen6128]

I never realized how organically funny this guy is. Bravo Rob. Thanks for sharing intimate memories of your childhood. xo

[@fl3693]

I have adored Rob since the Hotel New Hampshire and Outsiders. A GREAT actor with a beautiful soul (and face). Liberace was a coup!

[@itsokmaybe]

Great episode, liked it a lot!

[@katherineplackett5600]

Wow. This was so beautiful. Thank you guys 💕

[@elleb9275]

What an amazing interview!! So many good nuggets in this one!! Truly enjoyed viewing this!! 🎉🎉

[@janetw3468]

My favorite episode to date! Rob is such a genuine and hilarious person ❤

[@zoiebates7074]

One of my favorite episodes!

[@carolrosangel8595]

LEGEND!❤ I love him in The Outsiders 😊.

[@joeblackwolf17]

Great episode ❤

[@michaelking9070]

Great interview. I served Rob many Kamikaze shots and Coronas in the late 80s when I was a bartender at the Hard Rock in LA. Great memories.

[@pizzagirl6048]

This was thee best , as I’m watching bad seed for I can’t keep track

[@eleazarsalazar7273]

What a delightful man

[@MyCristina88]

Very good podcast. I liked so much ❤😊

[@Sbannmarie]

Yes he was the icon of the eighties.

[@46foryounger]

That podcast just blew my f…in mind soooo awesome ❤. Now all I need is to see Penn, Rob and Jamie Lee Curtis in a show together. Btw please invite Jamie Lee Curtis in another great actress and human being i could listen to for hours. She’s so brilliant and a great actress and humanitarian ❤❤

[@somebody5485]

“and they told me ‘cause my nose was so small” love it

[@asuevill]

Love Rob!

[@doglover7675]

I have been a Rob Lowe fangirl since the 1980s. Hollywood messed up by not showing us more of him. His charm, and personality/humbleness is like no one else. I swear the creators of "The Outsiders" must have cast from the middle school he and Downey Jr were at. The 80s were so awesome. Rob's podcast with Downey Jr is so good. They are both actors that I will watch something just because they are in it. Cannot say that for many especially these days.

[@46foryounger]

I am 7 mins in and LMFAO!!! please do a project together. Omg Penn and Rob acting together Jesus make it happen.

[@cookie5335]

Really good show

[@carefulpilgrim]

Amen, Rob, may your relationship with God deepen and be strengthened! I love the Lord and it is so wonderful that we can tell Him anything and everything, and He in turn gives us peace, love and strength.

[@pattygonzalezinga2951]

Beautiful talk!

[@tavia2685]

58:22 from the short ABOUT WEST WING

[@46foryounger]

Omg Rob and Penn Jesus can’t wait to watch this Jesus

[@user-ry1jm6si4w]

the two ladies are so smitten by him😂

[@user-et1hp8vs1v]

I don't blame them he's gorgeous! ❤😍❤

[@user-ry1jm6si4w]

100% agree@@user-et1hp8vs1v

[@charlottepembroke5446]

When I was a teenager, he was my pin up - even on my wall when I went off to uni and I should probably have grown out of it - then one day some friends came in, looked at his picture and said 'Nah, he's too pretty'. I had forgotten all about that!!

[@cookie5335]

Tob is great

[@user-wy7vm5of1m]

I love this podcast but I do have trouble with the sound a lot of the time. Always have to turn up the volume… anyone else experience this?

[@46foryounger]

Lmao!!! We’re they Germans 😂😂😂😂. That was Rob’s DNA 🧬 kicking in. Loved watching his ancestors story on Who Do You Think You Are? I believe. His ancestor fought against George Washington crazy story was captured and had the choice to stay in America. So incredibly interesting. I swear this man has an incredible history. The most interesting actor out there.

[@stephaniemcdowell1010]

I wonder how many people Googled Rob Lowe at 15 and then Brooke Shields after he mentioned it. lol

[@franco1188]

haha dude said "...he was too pretty, i looked like Brooke Shields...."

[@mikxmik3551]

am here from tiktok😅

[@taraz6786]

I remember in Rob’s book, he wrote that he used to order girls like they were in a catalog. Anyone he wanted, he would pursue no matter what, I always thought that was a bit sleazy and bizarre. 🤔

[@katherineplackett5600]

Well he does admit to being that “bad boy” and had to work his way out of it. People grow and change. That’s kind of what this whole podcast is about.

[@taraz6786]

@@katherineplackett5600 I guess that’s true. I just hate that women and girls have to be collateral damage for mens journeys’ out of being narcissistic, sleazy and cruel ass-clowns. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@nadiainthesky]

Woof. Healthy reminder that false modesty and “kindness” on the surface is what’s currently socially acceptable, but this facade of niceness is not necessarily a true reflection of how someone even as charming/charismatic as Rob Lowe actually thinks/behaves IRL.

[@mrbritisher9748]

@@taraz6786 women have their own agency in any situation good or bad they aren't children, if you don't want to be treated a particular way you can decide not to be.

[@taraz6786]

@@mrbritisher9748 Don’t be naive, we don’t exist in a vacuum. We will never have the same agency that men are automatically given and you’re only highlighting your ignorance & entitlement by choosing to ignore that.

[@johniii8147]

I give Rob L credit for making it so long in the business and moved on to more serious projects. And I LOVED the line I looked like fucking Brooke Shields at 15

[@my.boy.kurt.cobain]

whats up my friends... this is a serious subject... we had SOME Jenna content yk.... but WE want MORE... i aint putting pressure on yall but we're begging !!!

[@ytsi7505]

Funny how memes get a different reaction than the words themselves even funnier when the meme is grammatically incorrect
