Does John Owen Lowe literally resemble Chad Lowe, or are his looks a mix between his dad and uncle? Fans speculated under Rob Lowe's post on the father-son duo's comedy, "Unstable." There's also excitement for the collab, with one predicting, "Looks like it's going to be AMAZING!!!"

Rob Lowe thanked the New York Times in his March 28, 2023, post for the "spot on" write-up about his new Netflix show with John Owen Lowe. An Instagram user opinioned, "Your son looks so much like your brother Chad," while a second countered, "Johnny (to me) looks like a combo of you and Uncle Chad."

On his podcast, "Literally! with Rob Lowe," the actor revealed last year that he has worked with his brother and son in a very cool way. Chad directed the episode of "9-1-1: Lone Star" that John Owen wrote. Though Chad's focus is now behind the camera, his sibling said he would like to get him in makeup again.

Johnny, as Sheryl Berkoff and Rob's youngest is also known, says he "is eternally grateful to have supportive parents" who helped him when he needed them "the most."

Johnny has a running joke with Rob Lowe on social media where he Photoshops John Stamos' face on his dad's body.

Before he got sober, the Stanford grad put himself in life-threatening situations, self-medicating with substances to cope with his insecurities. His father had also struggled with addiction in his youth and got clean from drugs and alcohol at 26.

John Owen initially found his parents' attempts to get him sober "abrasive." He felt like they were slamming into him with a raft while drowning. Once they gave him the space to express his feelings and opinions, the young actor says he became open to receiving help:

"Finally, the thing that worked was when they said, 'We love you, and we're scared.' "

Johnny has a running joke with Rob Lowe on social media where he Photoshops John Stamos' face on his dad's body. Earlier this month, he wished his pop a happy birthday beside an image of them on a yacht with the "Full House" actor's face covering his dad's. Rob commented: "Never gets old."

For Father's day 2020, the writer called his dad "one-of-a-kind" in the caption of a family portrait that was updated with John Stamos' mug. The "Grandfathered" actor retorted, "That's rich!" to which John Owens replied, "you are the man!!"
