Rob Lowe Says Outsiders Cast Was 'Inspiring' and 'Super Competitive': 'Those Are My Frat Brothers'

In a new PEOPLE cover story, Rob Lowe looks back on his bond with 'The Outsiders' costars Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez in the coming-of-age classic.

Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 coming-of-age classic, costarring a group of up-and-comers, including Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez and Matt Dillon, helped launch the careers of the strapping and talented posse. "I turned 18 on-set in Tulsa... Those [costars] are my guys, my homies, my frat brothers," Lowe tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story that celebrates transformative moments in the Hollywood icon’s life. "I think my [ Outsiders] character is sort of funny on his feet, and good-natured and light [and] if you look at something like Parks and Recreation, you can see elements of Soda Pop Curtis even in that."
