Rob Lowe posted an old photo on Instagram Thursday featuring him and Tom Cruise on a double date during the Decade of Decadence.
“Double date 1980s style! I think this might’ve been the premiere of ‘The World According to Garp,’” he captioned the picture, which features Cruise standing next to actor Michelle Meyrink and Lowe next to former “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert.
Cruise rocks a preppy ‘80s style, with what appears to be a blue wool sport coat and tie and bangs, while Lowe goes for a more brash look in a pink shirt, white jacket, and white tie.
Interestingly, Meyrink appeared with Lowe and Cruise in ‘The Outsiders.” She also had roles in other popular ‘80s movies like “Revenge of the Nerds,” “Real Genius” and “Valley Girl.”
While Lowe wrote the shot was from “The World According to Garp,” it appears the pic may have been snapped at a screening of the 1982 TV movie “In The Custody of Strangers,” which featured Emilio Estevez, who starred alongside Lowe and Cruise in “The Outsiders.”
The picture definitely got a reaction. “You sure this wasn’t your prom?” Lowe’s brother, Chad Lowe, commented, while Jennifer Aniston liked the post.
