Rob Lowe Redux

This week my celebrity buddy, Rob Lowe, was all over my FaceBook and blogosphere feed. He was showing off is hunky, handsome, shirtless body.  As a 51-year old father, he truly rocks the Dad Bod look to the max.

I only met Rob Lowe once back in the early ‘90s. You can read about it here. And yet another entry here. I have found him to be a fascinating, talented actor and have enjoyed his movies and TV shows. He is also an author of two autobiographical books.

I don’t want to brag but I’ve discovered that several rare pictures of me shirtless from my Flickr account have been used in a number of blog and news stories about the “Dad Bod” meme craze that started a few months ago. Interestingly they have used photos of me from my 20’s through my 50’s. One even calls me the classic Dad body. Whoo-hoo. Someone get this daddy a latte.
