Rob L owe has revealed why he is determined to keep posting shirtless snaps of himself well into his 60s.
The actor, 61, who wowed fans by posing with his topless nepo baby son earlier this month, said of his sexagenarian sexy snaps: 'If you've got it, flaunt it.'
'Every once in a while, you've got to throw it down. You've got to be like, "Yeah, come on,"' Rob told People.
'If you got it, flaunt it, use it or lose it, and it ain't bragging if you've done it. Those are my three go-tos,' he added.
And he's passed the shirtless photo habit down to his son John Owen Lowe, 29.
'Lowe family tradition: self-indulgent shirtless gym photos,' the Parks and Recreation alum joked in the caption of his post last month.
The About Last Night actor talked more about the shirtless selfie with his son, saying it inspired a little familial competition.

He continued, 'It's a little bit motivating, and you've got to find your motivation wherever you can find it.'
The longtime Atkins spokesperson credits his muscular frame to his workout routines.
'Atkins helps me achieve my health goals,' The Floor host explained.
'For me, the real value in it is whatever your goals are — whether it's losing weight, maintaining weight or replacing mealtime. The products just really make sense and are delish,' Rob said.
'The high-healthy-protein, low-carb lifestyle is just a great fit for me, and it's helped so many people that I love be a part of that way of thinking and eating [too],' he added.
And when it comes to his favorite Atkins foods, the West Wing star said her enjoys 'the shakes' and 'the protein bars.'
'I have a sweet tooth, which is a brutal one.

Earlier this month Lowe shared vivid memories of his grandmother Mim's battle with breast cancer.
The actor, known for his role in 9-1-1: Lone Star' shared a close bond with his grandmother during his childhood, and has said his grandmom's health fight became a pivotal experience that would shape his life and the way he approaches cancer awareness today.
He told People: 'My memory of it is like it happened yesterday because of this sort of uproar it caused in our family. In those days, the odds were not good. I 100 percent remember our family feeling lost, wishing that there was more that could be done.'
Rob affectionately refers to his grandmother as 'my beloved,' and recounts the profound impact her illness had on their family.
As Mim's condition worsened, doctors told her to 'get her affairs in order' in a grim diagnosis that devastated the family.
But just as it seemed there were no options left, Mim's fate took a dramatic turn when she was accepted into a clinical trial for breast cancer treatments.
Rob also explained how the clinical trial changed everything for his grandmother, saying: 'There were multiple times where she had run out of options and just at that moment there was a clinical trial (that) changed the course of her cancer journey.'
Mim's survival story became a beacon of hope for Rob and his family.
The actor said: 'She survived and thrived longer than anyone with her type of cancer in those days.'
He added Mim's success in the trial not only defied the odds but also paved the way for treatments that would later become standard care.
