Rob Lowe Finally Reveals The Secret To Looking So Youthful At 59, Yet Notes One 'embarrassing' Thing About It

Rob Lowe recently shared his secret to looking young and radiant at almost 60 years old. One of his tips is even backed up by science and is sometimes difficult to do for busy people.

Rob Lowe is already 59, but the beloved actor does not look a day over 30. Fans and Hollywood fanatics alike have been amazed by his preserved appearance, which doesn't seem to have changed since he starred in 1985's "St. Elmo's Fire."

Recently, Lowe shared the secret that many have been wanting to hear from him: what he does to stay young. The actor revealed that he puts in the work to care for his physical appearance and overall well-being. His holy grail for the fountain of youth is sleep.

"I get tons of sleep," he admitted. "Like, an embarrassing amount. 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."

In between work and home, he relaxes in his SUV with reclined seats. He also gets help by using Bose noise-canceling headphones and an eye mask. He previously even shared a photo of himself sleeping with his dog, claiming mornings were not their thing.

Besides getting enough shut-eye, he keeps an eye on the food and beverages he consumes. Since his 30s, Lowe's diet has been consisting of low carbohydrate, high protein food, which he said made a "big difference" in his life. Admittedly, he misses binging on carbohydrates but knows how food can affect his appearance.

He also strays away from alcoholic beverages, marking his 33 years of sobriety. "When you think about the calories and the bloat you're missing. That just adds up. So that's super helpful," he said.

Lowe has also spent the past years focusing on his family, including his wife of over three decades and their sons. Lowe married makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff in 1991 and have since been inseparable.

Within four years, they welcomed two sons, who Lowe described as "amazing." By then, he felt ready for fatherhood and raising his kids alongside Berkoff. Looking back, Lowe is happy with how his life turned out and the decisions he made in starting a family.

He is also grateful to his wife for being an amazing mother and partner. Previously, Rob Lowe paid tribute to his wife on Mother's Day, showing the world his appreciation.
