Rob Lowe Plays A Gigolo In ‘How To Be A Latin Lover’

Lowe plays Rick the Gigolo in the upcoming comedy!

BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with Rob Lowe in this backstage interview to talk about the upcoming comedy How to Be a Latin Lover, directed by Ken Marino.

In the interview, Lowe – who plays Rick the Gigolo – explained what his thoughts were when he first read the script and how amazed he was when he learned about the hilarious Eugenio Derbez.

“[Eugenio] was a new find for me,” said the actor. “I could not believe that I did not know about him. I could not believe what he’s accomplished. I couldn’t believe the depths of the passions of his fans.”

Synopsis:

Maximo (Eugenio Derbez) gets the surprise of his life when his wealthy, 80-year-old wife dumps him for a younger car salesman. Forced out of his mansion, he must now move in with his estranged sister Sara (Salma Hayek) and her nerdy but adorable son Hugo (Raphael Alejandro). Anxious to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo hatches a scheme to seduce a widowed billionaire (Raquel Welch) and live the high life once again.

How to Be a Latin Lover hits theaters this Friday, April 28th. Check out the full interview with Lowe below:
