Rob Lowe Dressed Up As The Easter Bunny To Surprise Chris Pratt’s Kids—And It Did NOT Go Well

Lowe decided to help out his former Parks & Rec costar Chris Pratt by dressing up as the Easter Bunny to surprise Pratt’s kids—but the kids seemed to be more traumatized than excited by the stunt.

Rob Lowe just proved he’s willing to help out his friends in whatever way he can—even if that means dressing up as the Easter Bunny.

Lowe is known for many roles—Sodapop from The Outsiders, Sam from The West Wing, and more recently, he made a memorable appearance as the Easter Bunny for Chris Pratt’s kids.

On Easter Sunday, Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, invited Lowe to join in some egg-hunting fun that included dressing up the other “Chris” from Parks and Rec in a large, white bunny costume with a matching blue blazer and a plaid bowtie.

Schwarzenegger shared a video on Instagram with the caption:

“Easter bunny got real method this year ! Happy Easter!”

She captured the moment as Pratt assisted Lowe in pulling on the festive costume that was somewhat oversized for the actor’s 5’10’’ frame. Once Lowe fully got into character, he went to hoppin’ as Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren reacted like any kids witnessing a human-sized rabbit—by screaming and crying in terror.

As Lowe scattered colorful eggs around the lawn in plain sight, Schwarznegger sarcastically remarked:

Wow, this looks like a hard easter hunt…”

Catch the kids’ reaction in the background of the video below:

The kids could be heard shrieking and crying while Easter Bunny Lowe shook his little Peter Cottontail and plopped eggs all around the Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s backyard. Clearly realizing that the surprise wasn’t going well, Lowe eventually dumped the remaining eggs in one clump and hightailed it (or should we say, “cottontails” it) up the stairs and away from the unimpressed kids.

Schwarzenegger couldn’t help but comment:

“He’s gonna be sweating… for sure.”

The real and sweaty Rob Lowe appeared moments later at brunch after missing the Easter Bunny’s cameo, saying: “I just hopped on over when I heard he was here.”

Not missing a beat, Pratt informed Lowe that he missed him. Very convenient timing, Rob.

Overall, this was a cute, albeit possibly traumatic, moment that the kids, Lowe, and Parks and Rec fans are sure not to forget:

Lowe’s family even commented on the fun:

Lowe’s brief stint as the Easter Bunny comes a week after being hilariously confused for John Stamos during a Hollywood Bus Tour.

Something that his fans are still teasing him about:

Another moment that Lowe captured on his Instagram below:

“Dude, you gotta get better at your job,” Lowe playfully scolded the tour guide, who got a kick at the actor’s latest antics and remarked back:

Thank you for cool energy, man.”

As for his friendship with Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe has long been friends with his Parks and Rec costar, with Pratt playing Andy Dwyer, and Lowe joining as Chris Traeger at the end of season two. Nearly a decade since the show ended, the two friends have been seen golfing, crashing press junkets, and spending time with each other’s families.
