Rob Lowe swears by Clint Eastwood's aging hack
While speaking with AARP, Lowe explained that an unnamed 70-year-old "idol" of his had advised him to "dial it down" as he gets older. In typical Lowe fashion, he decided to "dial it up" instead.
This mentality led him to become seriously injured over the holidays.
Lowe told the outlet that he had been surfing in Hawaii over Christmas and had fallen on a wave that he had "no business" being on. He separated a rib during the fall, and it still hasn't healed.
"Never let the old man in."
Even after the injury, Lowe decided to continue to live by the motto that another person – Eastwood – told him: "Never let the old man in."
In August, Lowe talked to Howard Stern on his show about his philosophy on aging.
"I've been trying to be the best I can be since I was eight years old," he said on the "Howard Stern Show."
"It's not just physical. People always say, 'What does it mean to be youthful and all of that?' And honestly, I get the sense that you know this: It's an inside job.
"Like, think about what's youthful: Youthful are kids, and what are kids? They're curious, they're enthusiastic, they're active, they're interested, they're interesting, and they're not checked-out. As we get older, those are harder and harder and harder for us to do," Lowe said.
"So you don't have those qualities, it doesn't make a f–king difference if you've got a great-looking face and a 32-inch waist; no one's going to say you're youthful," he concluded.
Ahead of his 60th birthday in March 2024, Lowe told "The Healthy by Readers Digest" what he was most looking forward to in the next decade.
"I remember 40, I remember 50, and going into 60 feels exactly like that did early on. You're like, Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. And then as you get closer, I'm psyched.
"Each year we get, we're lucky. A lot of people don't get [birthdays], and I feel like I'm the best version of myself that I've ever been," Lowe told the outlet at the time. "I felt that way at 40 and 50. If one keeps exploring and pushing and challenging themselves and staying interested and interesting, then age really is nothing but a number."
Now, Lowe is looking forward to welcoming some grandchildren.
The actor and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, share two sons: Matthew, 32, and John Owen, 29.
He's even spent some time deciding what his future grandkids will call him.
During his interview with AARP, he suggested readers call into his podcast, "Literally! With Rob Lowe," of some possible grandfatherly names.
"I have a probably overly inappropriate interest in my sons' love lives—because I'm angling for grandkids. It better happen!" Lowe told AARP.

Lady Gaga Reaches An Important Milestone For The First Time In Her Career
'Die With a Smile' doesn't sound quite like anything else in the discographies of either Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars. Both artists have looked to the past for inspiration before, but neither of them had encapsulated the exact feeling that the Grammy-winning smash conveys. Mars has come close with several of his vintage-sounding tunes, but the inclusion of a female voice makes 'Die With a Smile' not just different from the two stars' past work, but something truly special. In America, 'Die With a Smile' is still a massive hit, and this week both musicians must be celebrating its continued success as the track reaches a notable milestone. 'Die With a Smile' Finishes Its First Year As of this current period, 'Die With a Smile' has spent a full year on the Hot 100. This week marks its fifty-second on the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.S. 'Die With a Smile' Slipped Outside the Top 10 Recently The track only recently fell outside of the top 10, where it had been living as it approached its first anniversary. This frame, the duet holds at No. 12, sitting just below the important tier. Lady Gaga's First One-Year Winner 'Die With a Smile' is Gaga's first song to make it to 52 weeks on the Hot 100. The tune became her longest-running success almost a month ago when it passed 'Just Dance,' her collaboration with Colby O'Donis, which introduced her to the world and helped reinvigorate interest in dance-pop well over a decade ago. That smash spent 49 weeks on the Hot 100 during its run. 'Die With a Smile' Remains a Radio Smash Radio is doing most of the work to keep 'Die With a Smile' on the Hot 100 and in such a lofty position. The track does fall slightly on the Radio Songs chart, dipping from No. 3 to No. 5, but that's still an impressive position for a title that has now racked up 52 stays on the all-genre airplay list. 'Die With a Smile' is a non-mover on both the Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary rankings, where it holds at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. The Gaga/Mars hit single also makes it to 52 weeks on both of those lists. Will 'Die With a Smile' Slip Off the List Soon? Now that 'Die With a Smile' has made it to a full year on the Hot 100, it has to stay above No. 25, or else it will be removed. Billboard has a rule in place that states that after 52 weeks, tunes can't slip beneath that position. That's not a problem for most songs, which never make it to the landmark figure, and 'Die With a Smile' likely doesn't have to worry just yet, as it could continue to sit below the top 10—or even return to the highest area again—for several more weeks.

‘Bear With Me' Review: An Omnibus of the Ursine
A world bereft of an academic appraisal of celebrity bears would somehow seem deficient, so a growl of appreciation is due Daniel Horowitz, whose 'Bear With Me' tells us tons about Teddy, Smokey, Pooh, Paddington and even the dreadful Berenstains. Mr. Horowitz, a professor emeritus of American studies at Smith College and a prolific author, tells us early on that bears appear in the Bible maybe 14 times while lions, sheep and goats get hundreds of mentions. But as the years passed bears came on strong, inspiring Michael Bond's Paddington Bear, A.A. Milne's Pooh and William Faulkner's Old Ben. Bears also caught the eye of guys who knew how to make the truly big bucks, including stuffed-animal entrepreneurs, P.T. Barnum and Walt Disney. Bear superstars get plenty of ink. The ubiquitous Teddy, for instance, was created out of a marriage of mercy and capitalist enthusiasm. The story began when Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear during a 1902 Mississippi hunt (his guide was a former slave named Holt Collier, who had been a Confederate scout). T.R. blasted plenty of animals but killing this bear, which Collier had subdued and tied to a tree, would have been more an execution than a legitimate act of killing for sport. The press initially mauled the president for his refusal to dispatch the animal (it appears Collier might have later done the deed with a knife) but in the wilds of Brooklyn, N.Y., a Jewish immigrant couple saw an opportunity and created a stuffed 'Teddy's Bear' they displayed in their candy-store window. Roosevelt reportedly approved their request to use his name to market the stuffed bears (other manufacturers soon followed suit) and the rest is history.
