It’s been over 30 years since “Tommy Boy” hit movie theaters around the country — and Rob Lowe<\/a> is just now making it known publicly he wants some damn credit!<\/p>\n

Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.<\/p>\n

The actor had an uncredited part as Paul in the 1995 comedy film starring Chris Farley<\/a>, David Spade<\/a>, Bo Derek<\/a> and Brian Dennehy … but Rob says that credit list needs to change — pronto! — in an open letter to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rob posted the letter to his X account Thursday night … and, we gotta admit, it all sounds like a joke. Kicking things off, Rob says among the “long-standing, important and unresolved issues” is his lack of credit on “Tommy Boy.”<\/p>\n

He then talks about how it’s an “atrocity” perpetrated by a previous regime at Paramount and a stain on the company’s legacy. Rob goes on to say … he and others urge Ellison to “be on the right side of history and rectify this heinous act, with the addition of: ‘and Rob Lowe as Paul’ above title.”<\/p>\n

He also signed off with Donald Trump<\/a>‘s signature line — “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”<\/p>\n

Like we said … it all sounds very tongue-in-cheek… but maybe Rob has harbored some ill feelings about it over the years and is just now addressing it with comedic bluster.<\/p>\n

We’ll have to see where this goes … if anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rob Lowe Hey, Gimme Some Credit On ‘Tommy Boy’!!!
