Who is Rob Lowes son?

Publish date: 2024-06-18

Rob Lowe has been a busy man in 2023 when it comes to the content the Parks and Recreation star has been bringing to streaming giant Netflix. Earlier this year, Lowe starred in a Netflix film titled Dog Gone, which was an adaptation of a Marley and Me-esque novel based on the true story of a community effort of finding a lost dog.

Just recently, Lowe’s latest project arrived by way of sitcom series Unstable, in which he plays a biotech genius named Ellis, who brings his son into the family business, as the pair come to grips with the passing of Ellis’ wife.

The resemblance between Rob Lowe and his co-star who plays his son is remarkably uncanny, and there’s a good reason for that. It turns out that Ellis’ son, Jackson, is played by his real-life son. While this isn’t the first time that the father and son duo have appeared on screen together, it is certainly their first co-starring appearance, which is probably pretty special for the both of them. 

While we have a pretty good understanding of who Rob Lowe is with his extensive career and acting resume, we may not be as familiar with his son – so here’s everything you need to know.

Who plays Rob Lowe’s son in Unstable? 

Rob Lowe’s son and Unstable co-star is John Owen Lowe. Born in 1995, Lowe is around 28 years of age. Much like how Ellis introduces Jackson to the family business in Unstable, Rob Lowe very much passed the torch on to John with getting him a start in Hollywood. Per his IMDb profile, John Owen Lowe made his acting debut in 2014 in a short titled A Canine Affair. 

John Owen would then go on to make appearances in two of his father’s other projects, The Grinder and Holiday in the Wind. Lowe’s son also had a role in Grace Point, which was released in February 2023, before finally starring alongside his father in Unstable. 

John Owen Lowe is also credited as a writer in his and his father’s latest Netflix comedy, and also has a writing credit in 9-1-1: Lone Star. John’s mother is Sheryl Berkoff, to whom Rob Lowe has been married since 1991.
