That Time Tom Cruise And Rob Lowe Had To Live With Real-Life Greasers While Filming The Outsiders



The Outsiders may not be the highest-ranked Francis Ford Coppola movie, but its cast featured actors who would become some of Hollywood’s most notable stars by 2024. Not only that, but Rob Lowe can attest to the fact that the famed director gave his young cast some lasting memories during production of the 1983 film. The actor recently talked to Coppola about the time he and Tom Cruise had to live with real-life greasers.

Living with greasers is a story Lowe has shared in the past, but it’s interesting to hear him talk with Francis Ford Coppola about it on his podcast, called Literally! With Rob Lowe. Lowe played Sodapop, a greaser and best friend of Tom Cruise’s Steve Randle, who was also a greaser. In real life, they were just actors, so Coppola sent them to spend the evening with real greasers, presumably for the sake of immersion. Here’s Lowe recalling the evening:

We all had to go to their houses. And I remember so vividly being on a couch near a furnace, in a basement of these people I did not know, and me and Tom Cruise looking at each other going, ‘They could — they might come down and kill us tonight.’
