Does John Owen Lowe play the flute in real life?

No. However, outside of his acting work, John Owen Lowe is a musician but plays a different instrument.

In a recent interview with Netflix, the actor discussed his real-life relationship with his dad, what it was like working with a parent, and how the development of his character Jackson resulted in him having some incredible flute talent.

“I play the piano. Jackson plays the flute, which is something I would never do. No offense.”

In relation to how his character ended up with such a specific talent, John Owen Lowe claimed the idea came from one of the show’s co-creators Victor Fresco. “We thought that the flute was having a resurgence, perhaps thanks to Lizzo. It’s also a funny instrument. It’s hard to look cool playing the flute.”

The actor continued, “Lizzo does it, but there’s not many other people who can do it. I certainly can’t.”
