Rob Lowe has been a Hollywood icon for over four decades, but now, his son John Owen Lowe is making his mark in the industry. At 29 years old (as of 2025), John is stepping into leading roles, proving that talent runs in the family. His latest movie, Grace Point, marks a major milestone in his career, and his father, the legendary Rob Lowe (now 60 years old), was right by his side at the premiere.
A Red Carpet Moment with a Side of Humor
The Los Angeles premiere of Grace Point was a family affair. Not only did John Owen Lowe walk the red carpet, but he also brought some humor along with him. As he and his dad posed for photos, John held up a whiteboard with Rob’s name written on it, playfully suggesting that his famous father needed to be identified. Rob, ever the good sport, played along, looking exasperated while pointing at the sign. It was a lighthearted moment that showcased their fun-loving relationship.
Rob’s 31-year-old son, Matthew Edward Lowe, also attended the premiere, showing support for his younger brother. The Lowe family has always shared a close bond, and it’s clear that they’re each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
John Owen Lowe’s Big Break in Grace Point
While John has appeared in multiple TV roles before, Grace Point is his first leading role in a movie. In the film, he plays Brandon Hayes, a troubled teen whose father, played by Andrew McCarthy, takes him to a remote rehab facility in the wilderness. However, things take a dramatic turn when his father gets into a violent altercation and is critically injured. Brandon, while detoxing, captures the incident on his phone and suddenly finds himself on the run. With the help of a mysterious stranger, played by Jim Parrack (True Blood, 9-1-1: Lone Star), he must save his father while confronting his own past trauma.
The film not only highlights John’s acting chops but also brings together a unique connection to his father’s past—McCarthy, who plays his father in the movie, was Rob Lowe’s co-star in St. Elmo’s Fire back in 1985. It’s a full-circle moment for the Lowe family in Hollywood.
A Hollywood Father-Son Duo
This isn’t the first time John has worked with his dad. He previously had a recurring role on Rob’s Fox sitcom The Grinder and later starred alongside him in the 2023 Netflix comedy series Unstable, which the two co-created. Rob has spoken openly about how much he enjoys working with his son, calling the experience “fantastic” in interviews.
The chemistry between them on screen is undeniable, and it’s clear that John has inherited not just Rob’s good looks but also his comedic timing and acting talent.
The Lowe Family: Hollywood, Love, and Longevity
Rob Lowe has been married to Sheryl Berkoff since 1991, a rarity in Hollywood. The couple has raised two talented sons, and their family remains strong after more than three decades together. With Rob’s $100 million net worth (as of 2025), a legacy of hit movies and TV shows, and now, John’s rising career, the Lowe family is firmly established in Hollywood’s elite.
Rob himself continues to thrive in the entertainment industry, starring in shows like 9-1-1: Lone Star and hosting TV projects such as The Floor. Meanwhile, John is carving out his own path, balancing his famous last name with his own hard work and determination.
With Grace Point marking his transition into feature films, John Owen Lowe is on the rise. Fans can expect to see more of him in both TV and film, as he continues building his own identity in Hollywood. Whether starring alongside his dad or taking on projects solo, one thing is clear—John Owen Lowe is ready to shine.
