Michael Jackson 'wanted Rob Lowe's chin'
Rob Lowe has claimed that pop star Michael Jackson was envious of his chin.
Michael Jackson was envious of Rob Lowe's good looks.
The 60-year-old actor met Michael - who died in June 2009, aged 50 - during his Bad tour in the late 80s, and Rob subsequently learned that the pop star felt envious of his chiseled jawline.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Rob was asked if he knew Michael and he replied: "I had worked with Janet [Jackson], so I knew the family a little bit. This was literally when he was the king of the world and you felt like ... I don't know. He had an aura. He literally had an aura that he gave off.
"I actually was approached by a plastic surgeon ... I forget where I was. And he said ... he introduced himself and he said he was Michael's surgeon and he told me that Michael had requested my chin.
"And it turns out that for a brief, shining moment in the 80s, it was the most requested chin."
Meanwhile, Rob previously claimed that "science is catching up" to his health-conscious lifestyle.
The actor - who has been on the Atkins Diet for more than 30 years - told GQ magazine: "People used to make fun of me. But now the science is catching up - that it's more than beauty sleep. It’s brain sleep, it's body sleep, it’s focus.
"The other thing is, as a guy in my fifties, I'm training in a very different way than I used to. The hardest thing for me has been to train less. I would train every day if I could - and, frankly, kind of punishing myself. If I don’t feel like I've just killed myself in the gym, I feel like it's been wasted time.
"Turns out, that's not true - it's particularly not true when you're not in your twenties and thirties anymore."
