Rob Lowe and his son John Owen discuss Lowe's infamous sex tape, nepotism and sobriety in the new issue of Men's Health.
didn’t want his kids to follow in his show business footsteps, but he’s ultimately happy his son, John Owen, did.
He continued,"You know what it’s kind of like? Santa Claus. I don’t think most parents ever have that moment where they sit the kids down and go, ‘OK, we’ve got to tell you something.’ A kid just figures it out. There weren’t milestone markers, like, ‘OK, he’s 16 now, time for them to learn about this part of our life!’"Unfortunately, John Owen also shared his dad’s struggles with addiction. The writer and actor revealed he was drinking as young as 16 and felt insecure and lost.
Lowe's son continued about his darkest moments."Many times I could have died. I really liked to push the limits of my body and numb out as much as I could.""It makes me sad to think about. There’s a certain level of self-doubt, or uncomfortability with one’s self. The more insecure I grew, the more aggressively I used – to medicate. I’ve been to many hospitals many times. I’ve been very lucky.
"When I was at my lowest points, my parents were throwing their lifeline of recovery at me in a way that I was like, ‘Ahhh, get away!’ It’s abrasive. It’s like I was drowning and they were slamming me on the head with the life raft. Because my feelings were that I didn’t matter, and a lot of that stemmed from having the dad that I had. Once I was treated as if my voice and opinion were valid, I was able to access a part of me that was scared and hiding.
