Rob Lowe is Brad Pitting it out with a grizzly beard and hobo hat for his three-episode stint as “Eddie Nero” on Showtime’s Californication. Mandi Bierly and I are a bit hypnotized but mostly horrified. “I want him looking his best on a show about sex,” she says, whereas I am digging the scruff but wish it didn’t extend more than an inch below the natural slope of his chinny chin chin. We both agree that if Rob Lowe looked like this in his real life as Rob Lowe, instead of in his fictional life as a TV character, our minds would explode. “The scruffiest he should look is in About Last Night,” Mandi says, “wearing sweat pants playing baseball in the park.” Wow, she’s so cool.

He’s like Brad Pitt crossed with a little Richard Alpert guy-liner action.
For the record, I voted “no.” Isn’t the whole point of Rob Lowe that he’s been ridiculously, almost inhumanly pretty since the 80′s?
Throw in a little Michael Stipe too.
You’re right. The whole point of Rob Lowe is to be the pretty one. He’s always been the pretty one. Do you think it’s a middle-age thing? Like maybe he’ll try acting now??
that’s NOT Brad Pitt?!! NOW i’m confused.
I guess its his life so what does it matter what i have to say
Yikes!
I think he looks BETTER.
He always has looked plastic so this, is an improvement!
He looks sexy!
Maybe it’s my problem to deal with, but I think he looks NEARLY as lovely as ever. Ya still got that jawline and those beautiful eyes
Sorry, but he still looks hot.
More disturbing is the fact that those drab drab colors make his eyes so dull! They are supposed to scream BLUE!
Looks like he might be wearing hazel-ish contacts here, Bug.
Don’t care. Still love him.
it is kind of scary because he looks just like Brad Pitt!
He was delicious in ‘About Last Night’
He still looks a ton better than Brad Pitt and Brad looks like scuzzy even when he is not in a movie.
Rob looks creepy. like he drives a windowless van and asks kids to help him find his missing dog. but there is no dog and those kidsa are never seen again.
I think it would definitely fall into the “hot” category if he gave it a serious trim.
he looks homeless. im sorry but he does….honestly its starting to scare me
What’s wrong with being good looking while they still can. Both men will age and won’t look so good. They should take advantage of their youth and good looks now because it will disapear soon enought. When Brad eventually shaves it off he may look old and fat and it will backfire on him. People may not forget what he’s looked like for some time now and not b able to think he’s handsome anymore. His clothes are loose, too long, old fashioned and not the Brad the world fell in love with. Too much hair looks dirty and too bad because Anjie still looks great. Rob is ok, can pass on him, but am little worried about Brad. I wonder if Torentino damaged him with his pot remarks and Brad gave up. Something is up with Brad. He should enjoy being young and soon enought he will look old and not in much demand I don’t think. Look at what happend to many great looking actors? As they age they aren’t in demand. Brad take advantage of the present. Your great guy and come out of the funk your in. If you don’t care about hollywood anymore, that’s ok, but still take care of yourself. Looking clean and refreshing is a good thing. Looking tired and worn out and like a homeless person isn’t appealing. Anjie didn’t like his look when he made a movie before and can’t possible like this look, or does she? Oh well, he still should enjoy his youth before he will no longer have a choice and men who have plastic surgery don’t look good.
Only in hollywood can one get away with this look. Most employers would not welcome this look, unless it was car washer or something in that line. Brad, please shave. be young, alive, have fun and don’t let anyone or anything hold you back. Brad looks 60 and too worn out for young kids. How can be go from wearing white shoes and scarf even to this. Neither look is great but in between is good. Brad may go bald because he wears the hat too often which keeps too much heat on his head which destroys the papila, or the root of hair. Let the hair flow and breath. Wear shorts, sandals, sporty shirts. get rid of the biker dude look. It’s too hippie and too yuck.
