Rob Lowe Talks about his Early Days as an Actor Vanity Fair Magazine



Rob Lowe talks about his experience growing up as an actor with Charlie Sheen and shares some excerpts from his upcoming book.  Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography in the new issue of Vanity Fair.  “We competed to see who could play harder, then show up for work and still kick ass,” Rob Lowe tells Vanity Fair  about filming Masquerade in the Hamptons in 1987 while his then buddy, Charlie Sheen, was filming Wall Street. “The verdict: Charlie by a nose.” Lowe  said that his friends growing up in Malibu pre-fame were the “uncool” guys who didn’t surf: Chris Penn and Charlie Sheen. “The cool girls in Malibu had no time for me,” Lowe says. “I wasn’t a beach volleyball player, a surfer, or a quasi-burnout.” However, as Lowe recounts in a Vanity Fair excerpt from his upcoming autobiography, it would be a mere five years after plotting their acting careers in the Sheens’ pool that the actor and his friends would be shot to fame.


Lowe talks about his modest life growing up near the Sheens. Describing the Sheens as a never ending paradise.  He also discusses his time filming The Outsiders with Patrick Swayze and Tom Cruise in 1983. 
The May issue of Vanity Fair Magazine goes on sale April 5.
