So the notion that you could have a career \u2014 or, God forbid, be famous \u2014 as a kid was foreign, even in Los Angeles. So people didn\u2019t understand what I was trying to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Rob previously cited &#8220;resilience&#8221; as the key to his longevity in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor explained that he&#8217;s had to overcome a lot during the course of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked to name his greatest virtue, Rob told GQ: &#8220;My optimism. The optimism leads to resilience and resilience is probably the greatest key for survival of a long career and a happy personal life. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You get knocked down, you get back up, you have a long day, you&#8217;re ready to go the next day. It&#8217;s very valuable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRob is well-known for his commitment to health and fitness &#8211; but the actor admitted that he likes to indulge occasionally, too.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked to name his worst vice, Rob sarcastically replied: &#8220;At the moment, my worst vice is waking up in the middle of the night to eat a pint of ice cream. I don&#8217;t know where that&#8217;s coming from \u2013 I&#8217;ve never had that in my life. But it&#8217;s my new cross to bear. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I say to myself, &#8216;You know what would solve this problem? A pint of chocolate ice cream.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rob-lowe-reveals-outsiders-changed-life-1450843.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 September 2026 Rob Lowe had women &#8220;stealing [his] underwear&#8221; after he starred in The Outsiders.
