Rob Lowe on Fame "What's the Point of Being Famous Today?"

the jurgen experience um but we're almost dead let's be honest i mean how much time we got left if everything goes great no no we're gonna live forever we're gonna we're gonna have that pill that they're gonna that's gonna be announced next week that might be the worst thing that could happen like you might want to go you know quietly in your sleep rather than live for 500 years and see the the horrors that humanity turns into that too and i don't want to like if my body breaks down i'm not i'm so physical i love i love doing my stuff i i don't think i'd be one of those people like you know what his mind is so sharp though it's like well [ __ ] that's great meanwhile the guy can't [ __ ] walk yeah you can't you know it's like i want to be able to do my my thang yes yes listen i want a sharp mind let's let's for sure stipulate that but what do you what do you do to maintain yourself what do you do to keep the machine working well the number one thing was you know i i stopped drinking years and years and years ago you know how many years 30 oh so you got way ahead of the game so i'm way ahead i'm way ahead so i don't do any of that um wow that's that's a that's a lot of discipline it's well but it's not though because the minute you realize your discipline has nothing to do with it that's the only way you can do it oh okay because the whole point is like i can't i i can't if if i had if i had one let's say you broke out that because i was like beer beer was good well there it is where you got there whiskey was never my thing i'd be okay if it were tequila that'd be a different thing if you if you and also it was the 80s so if you had a kamikaze remember those drinks yeah i do remember those yeah um like it would it would go then i'd be like you know what would be really good to get would be some coke that would be great to balance it out you just balance out and you know that that no big deal no big deal it's good for you it's a rock star coke that's tough that's what i'm saying it's not even bad for you mick jagger does it okay look at he's wretched he's fine look at keith richards look at jack nicholson look at i mean these guys are doing this they're the biggest stars in the world nicholson is fat too how big how bad could it be how bad could it be it's good for your memory probably and it's really good if you want to talk a lot it and and successful people do it a lot of successful people do it and it's not addicting no they just enjoy it yes so that was that was what we thought you know that's what you know that's is the gordon gekko era and then and then the hounds of hell will be released once i got that good little concoction going that good little mixie mixer son well it had to be hard to be a young really famous really good looking guy during the age of no internet and you know the world was a wild place i mean you were really famous in the 80s i wouldn't i wouldn't trade it for anything i mean you know all of the look all the mistakes that i made all the things that i learned got me to where i am today and i could not be happier and i needed i needed some [ __ ] comeuppance and i needed some of that humbling and stuff on the other side of it is like what's the point of being [ __ ] famous today really i don't know if there's nothing i know right i i don't know i mean forget the lack of privacy the lack of like crazy fun which you can't have right um everybody's lying in weight i saw an article written about leonardo dicaprio and it was just about how he dates young girls and how gross it is that he's dating in girls 25 like 25's a woman you [ __ ] right what is wrong he's a good-looking man he's wealthy and happy and successful oh my god he dates someone who's young and vibrant there must be something wrong with him meanwhile if a woman does it nobody gives a [ __ ] they celebrate her you go kate beckinsdale you go take those 21 year olds down that's right rope them wrangle them right rope them and then send them off kick them in the ass and pack their lunch and send them send them off it should be it should be equal opportunity everywhere that's not though right when when it's a woman they look at it like she's just she's doing her thing she's having a good time but a man it's like he's abusing his power that leonardo has power over those young ladies i figure like if you're if you're you know leo or bieber or any of those like young like you know like like this is like what you part of coming of age yes figuring is figuring out what you want in life and you know when you do that you're going to do weird [ __ ] good [ __ ] bad [ __ ] well that's you know whenever every would if anybody would try to judge someone like that like bieber in particular right because he was really really young when he got famous i mean it's insane and you know that whole thing that that theory that at whatever however old you are when you get famous that that like freezes you in carbonite emotionally and and and intellectually well that makes sense with child stars right anybody yes but anyway it's also that thing of like if you ever notice that um before like you get famous the people who were famous to you then fast forward 100 years or whatever and like maybe they haven't done as much and you have but when you meet them you think they're the most famous crazy successful person it's the same yeah it's the same type of thing if i were to meet you know dr smith from lost in space i'd be like no [ __ ] way doctors do you know what i mean so it's it's funny how time i met lee majors i was that's what i'm saying i was like it's a six million dollar man i can't believe it he's real right yeah yeah yeah cheech and chong when i met those guys i was like i can't believe they're real can't believe i'm meeting them yeah you get you get frozen in your your own your own perspective well when you get older and you become famous when very few people can have this conversation right but when you get famous and you meet famous people to me it's still weird like when i met you today i was like oh hello roblo i've seen you in movies but i'm more normal with it than when i was young when i was young and i would meet like i remember the first time i was on the set of news radio and i met phil hartman i was so weirded out i was like he's right there this is great because i hadn't met a lot of famous people back then only like a small handful [Applause]
