It wouldn’t be an over-exaggeration to call Rob Lowe America’s sweetheart. After all, the handsome hunk is loved by nearly every girl on the planet, and if he ever receives any criticism, it’s for being ‘too charming.’ With that chiseled jaw line, gray stubble, and deep blue eyes, this is one man who’s the object of every woman’s fantasies.

However, it seems that the actor will have to pay a rather heavy price for his Greek god looks, after his casting in the impending thriller, ‘The Drew Peterson Movie aka Ladykiller’, in which he plays the lead role of a serial killer named Drew Peterson. Even though this may be the greatest move of his career, and exactly what’s needed to shrug off the ‘chocolate boy’ image that he’s stuck with, yet critics and viewers have expressed their doubts on whether he’ll be able to play the part convincingly.

While some claim that he might just leave us scintillated by his ‘good boy gone bad’ stint, others think he’ll fail miserably. Interestingly, veteran actor Denzel Washington was also considered for the part, which makes it an even huger achievement for the actor. It’s definitely going to be exciting to watch Rob ‘uglying up’ for the part, as he portrays the avatar of this dreaded womanizer, who infamously murdered two women after marrying them.

One look at Rob’s life, which he has candidly described in his autobiography, ‘Stories I Only Tell My Friends’, is enough to make one believe that even with those flawless looks, he can be a really bad boy if he wants to. In his earlier days in the industry, Rob’s career was nearly doomed when a sex tape of him enjoying a threesome was released, in which one of the girls was 16 years old.

At that time, Rob was the ‘Charlie Sheen’ of the industry. He was in the news for all the wrong reasons, right from alcoholism to scandalous romances. I, for one, can’t wait to see the dirty man hiding behind those too-innocent-to-be-true looks! While we wait for the movie to hit the screens, there are always the West Wing episodes to fall back upon for top-notch entertainment!
