Rob Lowe has revealed Mick Jagger once made him question his sexuality and shared his shock over the rock star's age.
The Hollywood actor began hosting his podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe in June 2020. For the show, he discusses movies, TV, sports, music and culture with various guests, who are most often people he loves and admires.
During the episode titled "Fred Armisen: No Bald Cap," released on July 25, Lowe welcomed the comedian and actor, who he is working with on the Netflix show Unstable. The two men discussed the music industry, the appeal of Jagger and a variety of other topics.
Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Jagger for comment on Thursday.
"Mick is still, he's still dancing like a crazy person but, how about this one, he's slightly older than Joe Biden," Lowe said.
While the president and the singer are close in age, Biden is a fraction older at 81 years old, Jagger is 80.
"That's bananas" Armisen responded, before Lowe added: "Bananas, bananas, and as charming as ever. He's the only person I ever had dinner with that made me question my sexuality.
"He's so flirty, he's so—you know what he is, here is the word to describe it: coquettish. He's very coquettish."
Armisen complimented the singer's posture, impressed that he's been able to maintain it at his age.
The two actors also discussed how people's musical careers have changed over time, including that of The Rolling Stones.
"[The Rolling Stones are] the most charming—you know, look, it's like [Paul] McCartney, you don't get to that point where you've cycled through every possible iteration of attitude. I promise you they weren't like this coming up. There's no way," Lowe said.
"If you go and see Bruce Springsteen, I love Bruce now, he used to be seething—and there's no other word for it—seething with, on any given moment in the show, passion, anger, exuberance, love, and now he's like Santa Claus," he said. "He's like America's dad so that angry young man thing is long gone, he doesn't even try to manufacture it because it's not who he is anymore.
"When you're around that long, you've got to go through the seasons of your life on stage…that's why when you see people who are still trying to do the old thing, God bless Madonna, I want to see, I don't want—she's trying to do the Madonna of 1985."
Armisen added: "I suppose the Stones…have definitely moved on to whatever this new era is."
