Rob Lowe appeared on the Today show on Monday, May 12, and the hosts of the NBC morning show, particularly Al Roker, wanted to know the secrets behind the actor’s youthful good looks.
“You’re 61, right?” Roker asked, which Lowe confirmed.

“It’s the serums, you used a lot of serums,” interjected host Craig Melvin.
“I use everything. Are you kidding me?” Lowe responded.
“There’s only nine years between us and he looks so much better,” Roker chimed in.
“Al, you need to get a traveling facelift doctor,” Lowe quipped. “I mean, you got to have it.”
Yet after all the kidding, Lowe got serious with some real talk.
“I’ve been sober 35 years this week,” he revealed, “and you know, just that alone. The cumulative alcohol. Even if you don’t have a problem with it that’s part of it.”

Lowe also revealed that sleep is his secret weapon against aging. “I get a lot of sleep,” he said. “People used to make fun of how much I slept. Now the science is turning around and people are bragging about their sleep.”
Melvin asked Lowe just how much sleep he’s getting. “I could throw down 12 [hours] on you, if allowed to.”
“12 hours?” Melvin asked. “If I could,” Lowe responded. “But I’m a solid 9.5 [hours].”
Fans generally supported Lowe’s tips in the comments on Instagram, but one noted that the star is starting to show signs of aging, writing, “He does look great but he is starting to look older.”
“And he hasn’t lost his hair!” another observed.
“Today is one month away from alcohol and I am sleeping so damn good now. My skin is glowing 👏,” another added.
