'I FEEL SO GRATEFUL' ROB LOWE

THE PERENNIAL HEARTTHROB AND DEVOTED FAMILY MAN REFLECTS ON FATHERLY LOVE AND LIFE AT 60

- 

It would be easy to assume Rob Lowe's enduring status in Hollywood stems from a commitment to his craft. But if you ask the fit and handsome actor, it all stems from choosing the right partner.

"My wife is my secret to longevity in this business and in life," says Rob of his longtime love, Sheryl Berkoff, 63, with whom he shares sons Matthew, 31, and John Owen, 29. "We have been married for 34 years now and she's still my rock. She's saved me more times than I can mention. The rest has been trying to challenge myself and to operate outside of my comfort zone - and hope that people don't get tired of seeing me!" Just like his family, Rob's fans can't get enough of him. The former 1980s Brat Pack pin-up continues to win hearts as eccentric entrepreneur Ellis Dragon in season 2 of the hit Netflix comedy series Unstable.

The gig gives the proud father an abundance of quality time with lookalike John Owen who co-stars as his son and is one of the show's writers.

His elder son, meanwhile, shares his dad's love of the great outdoors.

"Matthew and I cannot wait to get out on the ocean or go fishing or go on some extravagant adventure-seeking thing," the Parks and Recreation alum told the Wall Street Journal, whereas his younger son "is a hothouse flower. He's the son where if I want to get a plush robe and go to a spa, that's how I unwind with him - although we will play a vigorous game of tennis together." Here, Rob talks family dynamics, taking chances and the fun he had as he rose to fame back in the '80s.
