Rob Lowe started out as a rising star in acting and soon became a s-x symbol. Rob Lowe had a meteoric rise in the movie Mecca in the 1980s. But an unexpected event put his career in jeopardy.
The actor recorded himself in 1988 having s-x with two girls, one 16 and the other 22 when he was 24 years old.
Today that enough time has passed to give him space for reflection, the interpreter went through The Jess Cagle Show, on the SiriusXM signal, and in an interview he spoke about the subject that was a scandal of great proportions at the time.

One day I got up and said \'What am I going to do with my life now?\'", explained the actor, who among other things recognized that Those scandals ended up keeping him away from projects like the filming of Titanic.
"Yes, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me," he added on the subject. "Sobriety allowed me to get married and I have been married for 29 years, the result of which I have two wonderful children, and I think that none of that would have happened if I did not have to live that scandal."
Leaked Videos
