John Owen Lowe Reveals Why He's Glad Not to Be His Dad Rob's Twin, Says He 'Wants to Get Out of My Father's Shadow'

John Owen Lowe addressed his status as a "nepo baby" in a new interview.

The 28-year-old son of actor Rob Lowe has shared the screen with his father several times, most recently in their new Netflix series Unstable. In it, they play an estranged father-son pair who are brought back together at a chaotic time.

He explained how similar the roles they play in the show are to their actual selves and addressed how closely he resembles his dad while speaking with Variety.

John Owen told the outlet that he and his dad were never estranged like the characters in their Netflix show. However, he could draw one big parallel.

"The show is about a son who wants to get out of his father's shadow, and I am literally a son who wants to get out of my father's shadow," he explained.

In regards to that, he said that he "did experience pockets where I didn't have an identity, because of what it was like growing up with a father who sort of sucks the air out of every room you're in with him."

The star added that he was grateful to not "inherit the full facial physique" of his father. By the sounds of it, it's more than just because it makes it easier for John Owen to find his own way in Hollywood.

"I like to tell him sometimes that he has a punchable face -- and I don't have one of those because my jawline isn't quite as chiseled," he joked.

This isn't the first time John Owen has discussed being a "nepo baby" while promoting Unstable. In another interview, he also talked about when he found out about his dad's leaked sex tape.

Unstable premiered on Netflix on March 30. You can watch the trailer below!
