Once the transformation is complete, he hops into the backyard, scatters Easter eggs across the grass – inadvertently striking fear into the little ones. The sounds of crying children ring out as he shakes his little bunny tail.
Rob Lowe cuts Easter Bunny performance short
Realising his performance wasn’t being well received, The West Wing actor flips his bag of eggs upside down, dumping the whole lot at once before quickly hopping away.
“He’s going to be sweating, I’m pretty sure,” says Schwarzenegger Pratt as he disappears out of view.
The video cuts to moments later where Lowe is seen arriving at the breakfast table set outside. “I just hopped on over when I heard he was here”, he said, sweating and out of breath.
“Oh, you missed him!” Pratt joked.
Schwarzenegger Pratt captioned the video “Easter bunny got real method this year ! Happy Easter!”.
“The only acting job Rob Lowe can get these days”
While the children aren’t shown in the video, Pratt and Schwarzenegger Pratt have three together: Lyla Maria, 4, Eloise Christina, who’s nearly 3, and 5-month-old Ford Fitzgerald.
Pratt also has a 14-year-old son, Jack, from his previous marriage to actor Anna Faris.
Lowe, meanwhile, has two adult sons – Matthew and John Owen – with his longtime wife Sheryl Berkoff. The latter starred alongside his dad in their Netflix series Unstable. He is also known for playfully roasting him online.
Under Schwarzenegger Pratt’s post, he chimed in with a cheeky comment: “This is the only acting job @roblowe can get these days.”
Elsewhere, another user commented, “OMG John Stamos dressed as the Easter bunny at your brunch? 😋😂This post is GOLD😂”, referring to a moment when Lowe was recently mistaken for Stamos on a Hollywood bus tour – as seen in the clip below:
