Trash stuffThe frat class is pretty star-studded… because he says he’ll always be a part of the “Outsiders” frat — along with all his co-stars from the 1983 film.
The actor reflected on making the iconic Francis Ford Coppola film of a time during an interview with People … touching in particular on the fact of turning 18 in the company of a group of kids his age and feeling a special affinity with them.
He says the guys on set with him were all his “friends” and “fraternity brothers”… and they brought out their super competitive sides, especially Tom’s Cruise which RL says is simply on another level as far as work ethic goes.
In fact, Rob says it’s easy to see the actors each cast member would later become… from the funny, immediate nature of his character, Soda Pop Curtis, who helped Rob get into sitcoms, to the intensity of Cruise’s character that still keeps him going. wild stunts.
“The Outsiders” featured a bunch of other boldface names BTW… including Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez AND Diana’s Lane.
Of all the guys in the cast, Lowe made it clear that he’s closest to Estevez, as the two grew up in the same Malibu neighborhood… adding that it was nice to have someone who was experiencing fame at the same time as him.
It looks like the group struck up a friendship while filming… and who knows what kind of parties their unofficial fraternity threw!
