Rob Lowe confident with career

31st May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rob Lowe isn't worried about his work drying up.

The American actor, who has starred in several successful TV series including The West Wing and Brothers & Sisters, explained that while he suffered from career insecurities when he was younger, his continuous success is making him feel secure.

The 47-year-old, who has also starred in popular movies such as Wayne's World, also admitted he doesn't care about negative reviews anymore.

"I really can't imagine that. There have been times in my life when I wasn't sure I was still going to have a career, but all these years on, happily I don't feel like that's much of an issue," he told the British edition of Elle magazine, when asked if he was scared his success would come to an end. "I used to think if you read the good reviews, you had to read the bad reviews too. Now I just read the good ones I've had enough character building in my life. I can be honest now, because I don't give a flying f**k. What are they going to do, vote me out of show business?"

Rob doesn't understand the argument that actors must be good at deception.

The star believes that thespians have to immerse themselves in their roles so deeply that they truly become the character, rather than noticeably pretending to be someone else.

"I've never understood the idea that actors must be brilliant liars. Real acting is exactly the opposite we should be really bad at it," he said.

"We are paid to bring truth to what is inherently fake. I mean, what experience do I have with, like, fighting aliens that are taking over the planet?" (C) Cover Media
