(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rob Lowe's sons are more interested in science than show business, he has revealed.

Rob's kids Edward, 17, and John, 16, are ardent academics. Edward's career as a venerable politician is in the making and John's pursuit of science will one day lead him to great discoveries. Rob is incredibly proud of their achievements.

"My oldest [son Edward] served on Capitol Hill during the budget crisis, and my youngest son [John] volunteered and was the youngest intern ever at the University of California San Francisco's Stem Cell Research facility," Rob told OK! magazine at the Valspar Hands for Habitat charity event in New York City.

His sons are interested in very different disciplines, but Rob and his wife of twenty years Sheryl are extremely proud of their pursuits. Their schooling is demanding and Rob is ecstatic to see them excel.

"My oldest is very interested in and is in all advanced, AP, political science, and history it's a very rigorous, academic school, as is my youngest, and my youngest is in advanced physics things like that," Rob explained. "It was in their interest, and they applied and got accepted. It was exciting for us as parents to see them step into those worlds that are so challenging." (C) Cover Media
