John Owen told the outlet that he and his dad were never estranged like the characters in their Netflix show. However, he could draw one big parallel.
“The show is about a son who wants to get out of his father’s shadow, and I am literally a son who wants to get out of my father’s shadow,” he explained.
In regards to that, he said that he “did experience pockets where I didn’t have an identity, because of what it was like growing up with a father who sort of sucks the air out of every room you’re in with him.”
The star added that he was grateful to not “inherit the full facial physique” of his father. By the sounds of it, it’s more than just because it makes it easier for John Owen to find his own way in Hollywood.
“I like to tell him sometimes that he has a punchable face — and I don’t have one of those because my jawline isn’t quite as chiseled,” he joked.
This isn’t the first time John Owen has discussed being a “nepo baby” while promoting Unstable. In another interview, he also talked about when he found out about his dad’s leaked sex tape.
Unstable premiered on Netflix on March 30. You can watch the trailer below!

As a fan of the Rolling Stones, Owen Wilson received and then almost immediately lost what would qualify as the ultimate gift.
John Owen Lowe isn’t afraid to roast his famous father Rob Lowe, even if it’s on national television.
John Owen Lowe, Rob Lowe’s son and star of Netflix’s “Unstable,” is weighing in the nepo baby discourse, calling it a “very important conversation.”“I do think that it should be acknowledged, and privilege is inherent in the entertainment industry as it is in many other ones too, and it is just in life in general,” John Owen told TheWrap. Lowe, who began his career as a writer on “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which stars his father, also urges those who might be benefitting from their family’s stature to acknowledge their inherent privilege for their the sake of their own development.“I think those that have it need to be at the very least aware of that, in order to have a semblance of groundedness, or a healthy take on reality,” Lowe, 28, said.
Actor Owen Wilson has revealed that he was once the owner of a lifetime access all areas pass for Rolling Stones shows. How can you have once been the owner of something granted for life while you are still very much alive? Well, it takes a certain amount of effort.“I went to see the Rolling Stones in Argentina, and I was kind of friendly with some of the band, and then my friend was really good friends with Mick Jagger, and we got these special laminates, kind of all access [passes] that were good for the rest of your life”, he explained on ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden’.“It was so exciting”, he went on, thinking back to receiving that pass.
“some dialogue,” he confided most in his therapist about the show’s striking resemblance.“The truth is, when I’m really feeling like, it’s all getting too meta for me, he’s not the right person to go to because it’s about him, so I have to find other resources,” John Owen said.
Emily Longeretta When John Owen Lowe began writing on “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which stars his dad, Rob Lowe, he couldn’t resist venting to members of his team. His complaints about going “stir crazy” were so funny that they told him to pitch it as a show. With that, Netflix’s “Unstable” was born: The sitcom, which premieres March 30, stars the two actors and co-creators as estranged father and son Ellis and Jackson. The comedy is fictional — but rooted in reality. “Jackson’s estranged from his dad. It never got that bad between my dad and me,” Lowe, 28, says. “[Jackson is] a little more socially awkward and lost than I am. I did experience pockets where I didn’t have an identity, because of what it was like growing up with a father who sort of sucks the air out of every room you’re in with him.”
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic The conversation about “nepo babies” has grown tiresome — and not just because “nepo baby” itself is such an unattractive turn of phrase. (Was “nepotism case” too hard to pronounce, somehow?) The general outrage over the idea that children of famous actors find themselves drawn to acting, ginned up by an artfully provocative recent cover story in New York magazine, has tended to elide the simple fact that said children often find themselves acting because they share talents with their parents, who are famous for good reason. So it is with John Owen Lowe, who seems like a slightly altered carbon copy of his father Rob (of “The West Wing” and “Parks and Recreation,” among others), with the smarm ironed out. Together, they’re headlining “Unstable,” a new Netflix comedy that’s infuriatingly better than it needed to be. Lowes père and fils share executive producer credits with Victor Fresco and Marc Buckland, two creatives with long comedy résumés. And what might have been expected to look like a Lowe family vanity project — Rob Lowe has built a sort of performed vanity into his public persona, after all — has ended up as a sharply written comedy with some genuinely great lines.
