Rob Lowe recalls getting 'knocked out' by Tom Cruise while filming The Outsiders: 'I woke up... I was coming to on the floor'


More than 40 years after their hit film The Outsiders hit theaters, Rob Lowe is sharing a unique story about how he spent his downtime on the set with Tom Cruise .

Both The Outsiders and another 1983 classic - Risky Business - help put Cruise, 62, on the map after his first roles in 1981's Endless Love and Taps and 1982's Losin' It. Lowe made his feature film debut in The Outsiders after a handful of TV roles, and they were joined by a slew of future stars like Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane and C. Thomas Howell. Lowe, 60, appeared on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday and was asked if he had a good Tom Cruise story for him.
