Rob Lowe dishes about growing up with Charlie Sheen and shares 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,” says Lowe of filming Masquerade in 1987, while Sheen shot Wall Street. “The verdict: Charlie by a nose.”
The “Parks and Recreation” star discusses Sheen in his early years in an excerpt from his book, calling him “one-of-a-kind” and “a wonderful mix of nerd … and rebel.”
Lowe compares his modest family life to the Sheens’, who lived nearby, describing theirs as a paradise filled with “never-ending Häagen-Dazs, brand-new BMWs, a lagoon pool with underwater tunnels, and a lit, professional-grade basketball half-court.”
Also touched on in his autobiography is filming The Outsiders withPatrick Swayze and Tom Cruise back in 1983.
Lowe describes co-star Swayze as “as cool as you want, wearing tight jeans and a tattered, sleeveless Harley-Davidson T-shirt revealing his massive, ripped arms.”
He recalls his first impression of Cruise saying, “He’s open, friendly, funny, and has an almost robotic, bloodless focus and an intensity that I’ve never encountered before.”
The May issue hits newsstands on April 5.
