Rob Lowe calls out a Hollywood tour guide for mistaking him for this fellow star: ‘Get better at your job!’
Have mercy!
Emmy-nominated actor Rob Lowe called out a Hollywood Beverly Hills Tours staffer who mistakenly called him the wrong name and confused him for sitcom legend John Stamos.
“This is John Stamos,” the guide said as the bus rolled by, according to a video posted on the actor’s Instagram page.
The stunned “St. Elmo’s Fire” actor had been walking on the streets of Beverly Hills near Rodeo Drive when the exchange with the tour staffer, which was caught on camera, happened.
“What the f–k,” Lowe mouthed to a camera filming him before walking up to the orange and pink truck filled with film fanatics.
“Okay, guys, am I John Stamos?” Lowe asked the ticket holders on the bus.
“No!” the crowd responded, giggling as others shouted “Rob” and “Rob Lowe!”
“You gotta get better at your job,” Lowe told the staffer.
The guide defended his unique approach to his touring gig.
“It’s usually about having fun, you know; I didn’t expect to run into people,” the guide responded.
When the “9-1-1: Lone Star” performer realized it was seemingly a bit, he backed off and said, “I see.”
Then he jokingly turned to the passengers on the bus and said, “Don’t listen to him.”
The “Wayne’s World” star laughed and walked away as the escort thanked him for his “cool energy.”
Lowe posted the bizarre interaction for his 2.2 million Instagram followers and tagged his son with the caption, “@johnnylowe am I being Punk’d?”
“The people have spoken,” his son, John, quipped in the comment section.
“I love you John Stamos!” actress Kimberly Williams Paisley quipped.
“He needs to be fired immediately,” performer Holly Robinson Peete joked.
“Some of these other tour companies need to get it together! We would never!” Hollywood Bus Tours added.
It wasn’t the first time that “The Outsiders” star was compared to Stamos.
On his 60th birthday, Lowe’s son, John, posted a family photo with Stamos photoshopped over Rob’s face with the caption, “If you could all be so kind, please send some birthday love my Dad’s way… HE’S SIXTY TODAY!!!! Love you forever, pops.”
Lowe joked under the post, “To say I’m surprised would be a lie.”
In 2023, Stamos made a special appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” where Rob and John were guests, and he reacted to jokes about him being John’s actual father.
“I’m tired of explaining that ‘No, I’m not really his dad, I’m a better-looking version of his dad,’ you know,” Stamos joked.
