Unfamous

Yea, unfamous is probably not even a word. I say probably, because I'm just too lazy to make a few clicks and see if dictionary.com lists it. Whatever. It's the only way to really sum up my situation--I was born with the same name as a famous 80's heartthrob, and not a day goes by when I'm not reminded of it.


I am Rob Lowe, son of Lois and Steve Lowe. I have no familial, religious or other affiliation to the more famous Robs and Chads who carry the same surname. I live in West LA with my dog, Pete, and work in academia for a living. So if you are looking for beefcake pictures or some insight into St. Elmo's Fire, I can't offer that. But if you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be laughed at for your name, or how if feels to not be The Rob Lowe, then hang around.
