How does ‘real-life Dorian Gray’ Rob Lowe look so young at 60? The Outsiders actor is an Atkins spokesperson, gets an ‘embarrassing’ amount of sleep, and endorses Oribe and Wahl products
Actor Rob Lowe has just entered his seventh decade, but continues to astonish fans who believe he looks half his age.
The American actor, who celebrated his 60th birthday on March 17, told Forbes that he was excited to start his next chapter in life. “You know, when it came up, I was kind of dreading but now I’m really excited – I’m really, really into it. There are people that don’t make it to 60 and I have never felt stronger, better, healthier – spiritually, mentally, relationship-wise – and so, it’s just like bring it! Let’s keep the train rolling,” he told the publication.
Here’s how he keeps himself looking – and feeling – healthier than ever:
What diet does Rob Lowe endorse?
According to Business Insider, the Parks and Rec star has followed a low carb Atkins eating plan for years. Per the same source, he is also a spokesperson for the diet company, Atkins. “Everyone comes to the point sooner or later where you realise you can’t eat like you’re in college any more,” he told the publication. “I hadn’t realised it was a thing, but it changed my life.”
“This way of eating gives me way more energy during the day. I’m not tired after a meal, I’m more focused and it enables me to train harder. It also keeps my weight down even though I don’t use it as a diet,” he added. Although he usually sticks to lean meats and fish, salads, veggies, fruit, yogurt, shakes and bars, he does enjoy an occasional cheat meal, dining out on pizzas, cheeseburgers, ice cream and nachos as his guilty pleasures, he told the outlet.
His exercise regime
Lowe loves to exercise. The Wayne’s World star told People recently about his fitness regime, and how he feels “blessed that I really enjoy physical exertion and adventure”.
He added, “So if I’m not on a set, I build my entire day around what activity I’m going to do. It might be a paddle in the ocean, a hike, running sprints on the track, pickleball, tennis. I’m pretty much up for anything.”
Decades of sobriety
Essential products
Like many of us, The Outsider actor has some holy grail products that he swears by – and he happily shared his favourites in a conversation with CNN Underscored last year. His wellness essentials included the Yfong weighted sleep mask, Atkins chocolate peanut butter cups, Oribe dry texturing hairspray, and Wahl’s professional beard trimmer.

How much sleep does Rob Lowe get per night?
Getting good sleep is a huge priority for Lowe. “I get tons of sleep. Like, an embarrassing amount,” he told USA Today, “I don’t want people to think something is wrong with me. It’s a lot of sleep, not 12 hours. But if there’s ever 12 [hours] to be had, I’m taking it.”
