Rob Lowe Details Being Bullied for Being 'Pretty' While Growing Up

How does being what you look like affect who you are? How has that affected who you are? Well, it's, well, the first part of it is, I wish I was, I wish that when I was younger, I was cute. What I actually was, was pretty. And that as a boy is not what you want to be. Ah. Because, I mean, I, you know, I was, you know, people called me all the time. I mean, I got that 24 seven. Really? Oh yeah. I never talk about this. It's the first time I've ever talked about it because it's one of those things when we were talking about your book, what happened to you in the previous interview that we did for you. It is one of the things that happened to me. And I've always been in the like, never complain, never explain, you know, kind of vibe where I'm not going to revisit it. So people talk ---- about me. So what? But the truth of it is we know today that that stuff affects you. We know that today. And actually if it had happened to me in today's culture, there would have been an audience for me to come to and say, hey, this is going on. And people would have been like, oh no, it's not. We're going to step in and stop it. And those days people were like, so? So yeah. You're going to complain about being pretty. That is so interesting.
