Hollywood tour guide mistakes movie icon for TV sitcom legend in Los Angeles

Brat Pack movie icon Rob Lowe was left amusingly nonplussed when a Hollywood tour guide mistook him for Full House star John Stamos.

The St Elmo’s Fire actor was out in Beverly Hills when he was spotted by one of the many guided tours which take in the homes of the stars.

The leader of the tour incorrectly identified Lowe as the sitcom star, prompting the West Wing alum to approach and ask the tour group who he was.

Fortunately, the tourists were more switched on than their guide and correctly identified Lowe, who was thanked for being a good sport about the mix-up.
