In celebration of the actor’s milestone day, John, 29, shared anInstagram post— though Rob wasn’t to be found in the photo. Instead, actorJohn Stamoswas pictured standing with Rob’s family. (The photo isa real, Lowe family photowith Stamos photoshopped in the place of Rob.)
“If you could all be so kind, please send some birthday love my Dad’s way… HE’S SIXTY TODAY!!!! Love you forever, pops,” wrote John.
Rob was quick to comment on the tease, writing, “To say I’m surprised would be a lie.”
John and Rob are more than just a father-son duo; they actually play one on screen. The real life relatives star alongside each other in Netflix seriesUnstable. Season 1 aired in 2023, and the series has been renewed for season 2.
Rob’s other son, Matthew Lowe, shared a more emotionalbirthday tributeon his dad’s 60th. “Happy 60th to the man the myth the legend! I can’t express how much I love you and what an amazing influence you are on me and everyone else in your life,” he wrote alongside a photo of the pair at a film premiere.
