BREAKING: One hot dad jogs shirtless, another hot dad takes the credit.
Rob Lowe, 61 years young and aging backwards like a fine bottle of celebrity cologne, was out for a shirtless jog on the beaches of Santa Barbara on Saturday (April 19) when—plot twist—he was once again mistaken for his eternal twin flame in handsomeness, John Stamos.
Yes, again. At this point, it’s not even mistaken identity—it’s just Hollywood’s version of a romantic comedy where no one knows who the leading man is.
Mid-jog, a rogue videographer (probably just trying to get B-roll of a sexy sea lion) looked up and thought, “Uncle Jesse?!” But instead of flipping out, Rob took it like the true silver fox he is—smiling, flexing, and probably thinking, “I mean, there are worse people to be confused with. Like Danny Tanner.”
Earlier this week, the doppelgänger drama escalated when Rob posted a video to his Instagram of a Hollywood tour bus driver confidently yelling, “That’s John Stamos! Well… he looks like him,” in front of a bus full of tourists who now need refunds and maybe glasses.
Being the charming chaos king he is, Rob approached the bus and, with all the dramatic flair of a man who’s been famous since VHS tapes were cool, asked, “Okay guys, am I John Stamos? Who am I?”
Cue the crowd yelling, “ROB LOWE!” like it was the final round of a very sexy game show.
To which Rob, channeling his inner dad joke energy, quipped to the tour guide: “Dude, you gotta get better at your job!”
The guide, probably just realizing he’d roasted a living legend, backpedaled with, “It’s about having fun, you know? I don’t expect to run into people so… but thank you for your cool energy, man.”
Cool energy? Rob Lowe runs shirtless at 61 and gets mistaken for another ageless icon. That’s not energy. That’s supernatural skincare sorcery.
Rob Lowe is not John Stamos. But honestly, we wouldn’t mind if they Freaky Friday’d for a day. Shirtless jogs and all.
