Rob Lowe celebrated his 60th birthday on Sunday, and it's hard to believe he's reached this milestone.
The actor shared the special day on his Instagram, including a fast-paced 30-second selfie video featuring the song "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen, along with other birthday posts.
It seems like it was only yesterday when Lowe, who has never been named People's Sexiest Man Alive (how rude!), first solidified his heartthrob status in the early "Brat Pack" films "Class" and "The Outsiders."

In 1983, his roles in movies helped him become a star. One of his most memorable performances was in the 1985 film "St. Elmo's Fire" as the rebellious Billy who transforms into a better person.
On TV, he portrayed the always optimistic Chris Traeger in "Parks & Recreation" from 2010 to 2015. This was after earning a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2001 for his role as Sam Seaborn in "The West Wing."
Lowe also took the time to express gratitude to his followers for their birthday wishes in another one of his posts on Sunday. The post included a picture of the actor wearing a t-shirt with a selfie from his younger days. In the caption, Lowe wrote, "Here's to another 60 years. LFG, baby!!"
