Introducing Rob Lowe

Kids, wife, job. 

A veritable Bermuda Triangle, these vertices of a man’s life. Within those boundaries, your free time disappears.

Rob Lowe knows that fact well. That’s why the Parks and Rec show-stealer, Californication swami and (never forget) Wayne’s World villian is now a partner and curator for InsideHook. 

“And that means I’m in a wetsuit again,” deadpans the 49-year-old actor, who rarely misses a day of surfing. “What Matthew McConaughey is to bare chests, I am to wetsuits.”

Not that he’s complaining. Lowe’s in the wetsuit for his first flight on the Jetlev, a water-propelled jetpack inspired by the James Bond film Thunderball. (Watch Rob fly, and see the Jetlev in action, right here.)

“The reason I wanted to join up with InsideHook and help them curate is I’m busy,” Lowe said. “I’ve got kids that take up a lot of my time; a wife, my job – like so many other guys. And to have a lifestyle concierge service that tells you things you might not otherwise know about? It’s just a great thing for me.”

And so we strapped Rob Lowe into a jetpack. Then we turned that baby on.
