In a piece for Esquire, Lowe recalled the first time he partied with Hugh Hefner.
"An invitation to come to the mansion for movie night was a tough ticket to get. You couldn't buy your way in; you couldn't use connections or a publicist or any Hollywood lever pulling. Invitations came directly from Hugh Hefner, and he cast his parties very carefully in those days," Lowe admitted.
3 Lewis Hamilton
Hugh Hefner's parties frequently attracted many successful athletes — one of them was also British racing driver Lewis Hamilton.
