Rob Lowe told Jimmy Kimmel that there was a mistake with his phone contacts, which is why his messages kept going to Bradley Cooper instead of the intended recipient. Kimmel asked if Lowe remedied the situation by actually messaging Robert Downey Jr. and Lowe replied: "No, I did it again! I did it again. I mistakenly sent another one ... to Bradley, again!"
When an article about Lowe's text mishap was shared to the Fauxmoi celebrity gossip page on Reddit, some people didn't believe Lowe's mistake was so innocent. The post linked to an Entertainment Weekly write-up on the situation and one commenter said, "Rob Lowe is a known j******, so I fully believe that this was an intentional d*** move on his behalf." Another quipped, "I think Rob just wants people to know how many A-Listers he knows." However, that is all speculation and there is no confirmation Lowe purposefully tried to make Cooper feel bad with the mistaken text.
