Rob Lowe worries he is a "narcissist".
The hunky actor knows he is good looking but regularly checks with his therapist to ensure he isn't overly preoccupied with his appearance.
He said: "I've had years of psychiatry, and I ask about every six months -- it's sort of like getting your oil checked -- I ask, 'I'm not an actual narcissist, am I?'
"The learned men of psychiatry assure me that I meet none of the medical criteria. The fact that we can even ponder the question immediately disqualifies me from being one."
The 'Sex Tape' actor also claimed his appearance has prevented him from being offered "deep or interesting" roles and thinks it is only now he is getting older that he is able to properly show off his range.
He told the New York Times magazine: "There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting.
"They can't be any of the things that you long to play as an actor. I'm getting to play those parts now and loving it. When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously."
And Rob, 50, admitted he was a "nerd" who no one thought of as "cool" until he found fame.
He added: "My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school. I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn't very good at sports. It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot."

Kristin Cavallari is finding pregnancy is more difficult this time around.
The former reality star - who rose to fame on 'The Hills' and 'Laguna Beach' - announced in February that she is expecting her second child with NFL player husband Jay Cutler, but she is suffering more "aches and pains" than she did when carrying her son Camden two years ago.
Speaking about raising the 20-month-old tot whilst pregnant, Kristin, 27, explained: "[There are] more aches and pains. With the first one you can sleep all day, but now I'm running after Camden."
Kristin - who now hosts E! show 'Fabulist' - insists her pregnancy hasn't prevented her from leading an active lifestyle and she has been trying to satisfy her craving for sweet foods with healthy snacks, though she has also been happy to indulge.
She added to 'Access Hollywood Live': "I'm such a healthy eater and I was working out until about two weeks ago, [I've been craving] apples with almond butter, but I do have a big sweet tooth. I've been eating ice cream sandwiches."
Meanwhile, Kristin says she couldn't be happier with her husband's parenting skills, and Jay is looking forward to having another boy.
Kristin gushed: "He's a really good dad. He's with [Camden] all the time. He's great, He's so excited that it's another boy. It's going to be interesting, surrounded by men, it could be worse!"

Kate Mara is in talks to play the victim of kidnapper Ariel Castro in a new biopic.
The 'House of Cards' actress - who portrayed journalist Zoe Barnes in the first series of the drama - will play Michelle Knight, who was held prisoner with another two women in Cleveland for over 10 years until May 6, 2013, when one of the women escaped and contacted the police.
Source told the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l column: "After her sensational turn in 'House of Cards,' producers at Sony are desperate for Kate to take on the role of Michelle Knight.
"They feel that Kate would be able to capture Michelle's vulnerability and psychological pain -- something she excelled at as Zoe Barnes."
Michelle - who was 21 when she disappeared in 2002 - was held hostage alongside Amanda Berry, and Georgina 'Gina' DeJesus, and the women were lured inside his house after they accepted a lift from him.
Meanwhile, 'The Wire' star David Costabile and 'The Breakfast Club' actor Emilio Estevez are in the running to play Ariel, who was arrested the same day the women were freed.
He pleaded guilty to 937 criminal counts of rape, kidnapping, and aggravated murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole plus 1,000 years.
A short time into serving his sentence he committed suicide by hanging himself with bedsheets in his prison cell.

Kim Kardashian's controversial Vogue cover is flying off the shelves.
While the fashion bible has been criticised by some - including actress Sarah Michelle Gellar - for putting the reality TV star on its April 2014 cover, along with her rapper fiancé Kanye West, the issue is selling "on par" with best-selling past editions featuring Beyonce and US First Lady Michelle Obama.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the issue is expected to sell between 300,000 and 400,000 copies.
Meanwhile, Beyonce's March 2013 cover sold around 355,000 copies, and a cover starring Michelle sold just under 300,000 copies in April 2013.
However, a spokesperson for Vogue says the magazine "never comments on sales figures".
Vogue has come under fire from some subscribers for featuring Kanye, 36, and Kim, 33, in a wedding-themed cover shoot for its latest issue, with 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star Sarah, 37, boldly claiming she would cancel her subscription.
She wrote on Twitter: "Well......I guess I'm cancelling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me??? (sic)"
But esteemed Vogue editor Anna Wintour has defended her decision to feature Kim on the cover.
She wrote in her editor's letter: "Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world's spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that. I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)."

Victoria Beckham is planning to become an ambassador for an AIDS charity.
The former Spice Girls singer will work with the United Nations as a goodwill ambassador for their UNAIDS campaign after being inspired by a recent trip to South Africa, where she met with children stricken by the deadly disease.
A friend of the star told The Sun newspaper: "She wants to give back by doing what she can."
The fashion designer - who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old Harper with her spouse - visited Cape Town in February as part of the Born Free initiative, which tackles the issue of HIV being transmitted from mothers to their children.
Victoria - who turns 40 next week - and her husband are no strangers to charitable endeavours and last year donated thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes to their local Red Cross charity shop in west London, sparking lengthy queues as fans rushed to get their hands on a bargain.
And their generosity has been passed down to their children, with their eldest son opting to save his allowance in order to buy Thanksgiving gifts for homeless people.
A source previously said: ''Brooklyn told his mum and dad that he didn't want to receive presents for Thanksgiving this year. He said instead he'd like to donate them to people who need them more.
''Brooklyn asked one of the family bodyguards to take him to a Rite Aid store in Los Angeles so he could buy some first-aid kits to put in the charity parcels.''

Miranda Kerr feels "really lucky" to have Orlando Bloom still in her life.
The Australian model split from the 'Lord of the Rings' star last October after three years of marriage and she thinks separating was for the best for their three-year-old son Flynn.
Speaking on 'Good Morning America', she said: "I think it's really important to have two happy parents. He's really happy and I'm happy.
"He's a great dad. I'm really lucky to have him in my life."
The 30-year-old beauty also spoke about the pressure of body image after giving birth, insisting she readily accepted the fact her shape would change completely after carrying a child.
She said: "I had to surrender completely to the fact that maybe my body would never get back into shape and I was fine with that."
Orlando, 37, recently admitted he and Miranda, 30, felt it was important they continue to get along and "respect" one another for the sake of their son, and believes there will always be a "deep love" between them.
He said: "It's ever evolving, but I've said to her, 'We're going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives and we have a child, so it's important to me that we respect each other as we always have and that Flynn feels that and understands that.' There's a deep love between us."

Kelly Brook and her fiance David McIntosh are in talks to film a wedding reality show.
The 34-year-old model and the former 'Gladiators' star - who got engaged last month, after just 12 weeks of dating - are in early negotiations for a fly-on-the-wall documentary series that would track the preparations for their big day.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's early days but Kelly and David have started talks about some sort of series that will be filmed in the build-up to their wedding.
"They both think it could make a funny, entertaining show and could also pocket them a few quid."
David is particularly keen to further his TV career and has even spoken to the brunette beauty about possibly making an appearance on 'Big Brother'.
The source added: "David loves the limelight and will do anything to stay famous.
"He's already been looking into getting on Big Brother and Kelly is right behind him on the idea."
It is believed Kelly bought her own ring after 27-year-old David, nicknamed Tornado, "forgot" to produce one when he popped the question.
Kelly shared a picture of an 'engaged' balloon on her Instagram account to announce the news, taken during a visit to David's family in Wigan, North West England, recently.
She wrote: "Lovely weekend in Wigan meeting my new extended Family. Such happy times and excited to share my life with the most wonderful man I've ever met."

Simon Cowell has admitted suffering from depression.
The 'X Factor' boss - who has eight-week-old son Eric with girlfriend Lauren Silverman - began going "a bit nuts" last year as his long working hours and life alone began to take its toll on him.
He admitted: "Did a doctor say I was depressed? Yeah. I mean I knew it myself.
"You are always looking for the next high from the show and then actually if you haven't got anyone to share it with per se, or if you haven't got a family around you, you can go a bit nuts."
The 54-year-old media mogul admits he "regrets" embarking on a relationship with Lauren while she was still married to his friend Andrew Silverman but is happy that they have gone on and had a child together.
He said in an interview: "I regret that part. But then of course you have a baby and you look at the baby and you kinda go 'this is what happened from it'.
"In this situation you are not going to come out of this well because of the circumstances.
"It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened.
"You have to deal with it and man up to it. You have to accept the responsibility and the criticism.
"All I can say is, my advice to you is if it happens to you, you just have to deal with it a day at a time and own up to your responsibilities."
Simon's life has changed in the last year, and he thinks having family responsibilities has also helped his career as he is more "focused" and less "weird".
He added: "My life has changed, but I am probably more focused on what I am doing now than I was a year ago.
"Maybe because it puts things in perspective having two people in my life who I am responsible for.
"There were times last year when I would live in two rooms, y'know kitchen and bedroom in your house.
"It is a weird existence when you live on your own. On the phone all night, blah blah blah.
"Now the house is full of people, it has become a home rather than a house."

Jessie J claims being bisexual was a "phase".
The 'Do It Like a Dude' hitmaker previously confessed to being attracted to both men and women, but says she now has no interest in finding a female partner.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "For me, it was a phase. But I'm not saying bisexuality is a phase for everybody.
"I did talk about it, and I was open about it, and I do support being lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender - love who you want. That's what I'm doing.
The 26-year-old singer now wants to find a husband to settle down with, but admits it is a "struggle" to find the right guy.
She added: "I don't regret anything I ever said, but I never knew back then that whatever I said became a fact that I couldn't change. I'm just so bored of it, and that's kind of it - I want to stop talking about it completely now and find myself a husband.
"It's a true struggle. All the chick flicks that didn't make sense to me, I now understand - 'Sex and the City' is real!"
But despite her comments, Jessie doesn't want to label her sexuality.
She said: "I'm not anything. I'm aware of who I want to be and I want to marry a man. That's it."
