Rob Lowe recalled a memorable 1986 outing with Michael J. Fox that led to the duo getting caught red-handed with something green.
“There was a bus tour through California for Prop 65, which was about cleaning up our water system, and everybody on the planet was on it,” Lowe remembered on the Wednesday, August 28, episode of Ted Danson’s “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast. “But there were two different buses … We got pulled over for speeding, but also because Michael J. Fox and I were smoking pot out of the top of the Greyhound bus roof.”
“The cop pulled us over and it was like a clown car — out came Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, Judd Nelson, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Robert Downey Jr., Jane Fonda, Danny Glover,” the former Brat Pack member recalled.
Danson asked Lowe why the bus was pulled over, and he responded, “We had the top emergency hatch off, Michael and I, and we were smoking pot.”

Lowe, 60, has been vocal about his sobriety journey after struggling with alcohol addiction in the ‘80s. The Outsiders star gave up drinking in 1990 with the support of his wife, Sheryl Berkoff. (The couple married in 1991.)
