Rob Lowe and Chris Pratt, former co-stars on the popular “Parks and Recreation” television series, teamed up over the weekend for some hilarious Easter hijinks ... with less-than-positive results.
In an Instagram reel shared on April 21 by his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, Pratt helped Lowe shimmy his way into an Easter Bunny costume, complete with a faux jacket, shirt, vest and tie. And of course no Easter Bunny costume is complete without a giant bunny head.
“This is a sight,” Schwarzenegger Pratt said while filming the video. “Rob, this is incredible.”
Next, the video showed a fully costumed bunny (presumably Lowe), hopping around a lawn and scattering plastic Easter eggs. As he waggled his bunny tail, children were screaming and crying in the background.
Apparently the Rob Lowe charm that infuses so many of his on-screen characters didn’t shine through his giant bunny head to reach a pint-sized audience.
Realizing that he may need to cut his appearance short, Lowe sped up the process by turning his Easter bag upside down and dumping out all the eggs at once. He straightened his head, waved, blew a kiss and hopped away.
As he hopped out of sight, someone said, “He’s going to be sweating. For sure.”
Next, the video cut to Lowe standing at a breakfast table surrounded by adults. He panted as he said, “I just hopped on over when I heard he was here.”
“Oh, you missed him!” Pratt joked.
Though the kids aren’t shown in the video, the three Schwarzenegger Pratt children are Lyla Maria, 4, Eloise Christina, almost 3, and Ford Fitzgerald, 5 months. Pratt also has a 14-year-old son, Jack, from his first marriage to actor Anna Faris.
Lowe has two adult sons — Matthew and John Owen — with longtime wife Sheryl Berkoff. John Owen Lowe, who starred with his dad in their Netflix show, “Unstable,” loves to troll his dad online.
He commented on Schwarzenegger Pratt’s post, “This is the only acting job @roblowe can get these days.”
