Overview

  • Rob Lowe was walking near Rodeo Drive on April 15 when a Hollywood tour guide misidentified him as John Stamos.
  • In a video posted to Instagram, Lowe confronted the guide, telling him to 'get better at your job,' while bus passengers corrected the mistake by shouting his name.
  • The tour guide later explained that the misidentification was meant to be a fun moment, not expecting to encounter actual celebrities.
  • The video has since gone viral, with fans and celebrities commenting humorously on the mix-up, including responses from Lowe's son and fellow stars.
  • Hollywood Beverly Hills Tours has not taken corrective action beyond the guide's on-camera apology, and the incident has spotlighted expectations for accuracy in celebrity-spotting tours.
