Rob Lowe Calls Tom Cruise His 'Nemesis,' Reveals 2 Movies He Wanted to Star In
Rob Lowe says Tom Cruise repeatedly beat him to major roles and says John Hughes never wanted him for Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
- In an interview published Saturday in the New York Post, Rob Lowe, 62, revealed that Tom Cruise was a professional rival who secured roles Lowe coveted, including 'Top Gun' and 'Jerry Maguire'.
- Lowe and Cruise both debuted in Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Outsiders' in 1983, yet Lowe frequently lost out on major blockbusters to his former co-star during the 1980s and 1990s.
- Addressing the long-running rumor about 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', Lowe clarified he was never considered for the lead role, which ultimately went to Matthew Broderick.
- Lowe believes director Hughes, who died in 2009 at 59, avoided casting him because he was 'already too well known,' preferring fresh faces for 'The Breakfast Club'.
- Despite these missed opportunities, Lowe continues to secure iconic roles, including an upcoming return as Number Two in the 'Austin Powers' franchise, which star Mike Myers confirmed is in development.
