“I’ve loved my fifties and I can honestly say that I feel better now than I have ever felt in my life,” the actor tells WHO. “I’m very grateful. Your fifties are the new twenties, which makes your sixties the new thirties, right?”
It helps that Lowe is in more demand than ever before. This year alone, he’s already popped up on screens reprising his role as Captain Owen Strand in 9-1-1: Lone Star and playing the lead in Netflix’s heartwarming family flick Dog Gone.
WILD CHILD
“It’s not a great recipe to success to give an 18-year-old male fame, money, drugs, and expect there not to be something that goes wrong,” Lowe said of his early Brat Pack days before his life went spectacularly off the rails.
But it is the actor’s latest project, playing eccentric biotech billionaire Ellis Dragon in Unstable, that hits closest to home. That’s chiefly because his real-life son John Owen Lowe has taken on the role of his on-screen offspring, playing Jackson, a character who is trying to get out from under his dad’s enormous shadow.
“It kind of started out as joke that just went wild,” Lowe confesses of the hit new comedy series that offers up the laughs alongside a big helping of heart.
