Rob Lowe<\/a> is being fore-thright about his deep-seated fear of golf carts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old Parks and Recreation alum revealed that he is absolutely “petrified” of the little motorized vehicles and very nearly crashed one at Patrick Schwarzenegger<\/a>\u2019s nuptials earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“At Patrick’s wedding I almost wiped out,” Lowe told host Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>. “I literally almost got killed in a golf cart.”<\/p>\n

The St. Elmo\u2019s Fire star admitted that he’s “always had a phobia” of golf carts. “I’ll do crazy stuff. I’ll big-wave surf, I’ll heli-ski, but I’m petrified of golf carts,” he said. “I think in a past life maybe\u2026 I don’t know.”<\/p>\n

Most of all, Lowe is “petrified of rolling a golf cart,” which he almost did while at Schwarzenegger\u2019s wedding to his wife, model Abby Champion<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I did a full double 360.\u00a0I’m bad at math, so double 360, and that’s how many times I turned,” he explained. “It was down a really steep hill, and the grass was wet. But! Movies, they give you stunt driving, so I just kept the wheel [straight] like I was trained to, and my friend said, ‘You looked like a statue as you were spinning.'”<\/p>\n

Lowe clarified that his fear stops at golf carts and that he’s fine with other vehicles.<\/p>\n

“Well that makes no sense because golf carts only go 25 miles an hour. Is it the lack of a seatbelt?\u201d Kimmel asked, to which Lowe responded, “No! I’ll tell you what it is. I feel they’re tipsy-toppy, ready to roll over all the time.”<\/p>\n

Aside from the golf cart incident, Lowe, whose son Matthew also recently got engaged, noted that he had a great time at Schwarzenegger’s nuptials.<\/p>\n

“It was a beautiful wedding,” he said. “I’m at that stage where all my kids’ friends are getting married, so it’s kind of wedding season in that way.”<\/p>\n

He also revealed what Patrick\u2019s dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger, said during his speech at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

“‘It’s good to see everybody here,'” Lowe teased, doing his best Arnold impression. “‘It’s a wonderful day. And Patrick is killing it now with The White Lotus.'”<\/p>\n
