Rob Lowe is one proud dad. The actor chats to ET Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about working with his son John Owen, 28, on their new show “Unstable”, revealing that he often forgets he’s working with his kid.

Lowe says, as an actor and producer, that he’s always trying to come up with new projects. However, there was one moment in particular with this show where he knew he should work with his son.

The star shares, “You always wonder if the audience is going to like it or if there’s even an audience for it. This is one of those rare things where we knew there was an audience who liked it beforehand because they loved John trolling me on my Instagram account. “It was a viral thing and that’s what led us to go, ‘Hey, maybe we should make a show because people enjoy it so much.’ So, we had that rare opportunity where the audience was saying ‘more please’ and we just had to figure out what the more was going to be. “That took a while, it really did, because how do you bring that tone to a show?

What world do you set it in? What are the characters? And that’s what eventually led us to ‘Unstable’,” Lowe, who stars as Ellis Dragon alongside his son’s character Jackson Dragon in the show, adds.
