WHEELY DANGEROUS

Rob Lowe Reveals Near-Death Experience at ‘White Lotus’ Star’s Wedding

He also admitted he’s “petrified of golf carts.”

Rob Lowe is terrified of golf carts and “almost got killed” in one at Patrick Schwarzenegger’s wedding. The Parks and Recreation star was speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Sept. 16 when he recounted getting into a spin in one just 10 days prior, according to People. Lowe, has been friends with Patrick’s dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for years—the star’s sons Matthew, 32, and John Owen, 29, are around the same age as the 31-year-old White Lotus actor. “I’ve known Patrick since he was a little boy,” Lowe said. He had been present as Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion tied the knot at Lake Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho, and it was here that things went south. He told Kimmel, “I literally almost got killed on a golf cart… I’ll do crazy stuff, I’ll big wave surf, I’ll heli-ski, but little things scare me. Like, I’m petrified of golf carts... I’m really, really petrified of rolling a golf cart… I did a full double 360.” Quizzed by the host over his top speed, Lowe continued, “It was down a really steep hill, and the grass was wet. But I’ve had movies where they give you stunt driving, so I just kept the wheel like this [keeping still] like I was trained to. My friend said, ‘You looked like a statue as you were spinning.’” Kimmel then asked him if he tried the brake, to which Lowe replied: “No! Then you’re done. You do not want to do that,” the West Wing star added, revealing where the fear came from: “I’ll tell you what it is. It’s that I feel that they’re tipsy-topsy, like, ready to roll over all the time.”
