Rob Lowe never dated Madonna, but at one point he thought he could have.

The 52-year-old revealed on Thursday to Ellen DeGeneres he once thought he was going on a blind date with her, and was gutted to find he was tricked by his friends.

The TV star told Ellen that his pals had organised a surprise party for his 21st birthday, back in 1984. 'The only way that they could get me to the location of the surprise party was that they told me that I was having a blind date with Madonna,' he recalled.

'I was like "yeah... yeah!"

'Of course I got there and its a surprise party and it's really great... but the whole night I was just bummed because Madonna wasn’t there,' he admitted.

'I was like "I guess I’m not going to hook up with Madonna tonight".

What a present: He told Ellen that his pals had organised a surprise party for his 21st birthday, back in 1984

Worst birthday ever: 'Of course I got there and its a surprise party and it's really great... but the whole night I was just bummed because Madonna wasn’t there,' he admitted

Ellen immediately quipped: 'Is that the one woman you haven't dated in Hollywood?

The reason his own 21st came up in conversation was Rob's youngest son John Owen just turned 21 himself.

The Grinder star book his boy to Vegas, which - despite lots of vomiting and one of the group even having his wallet stolen by a girl - was an overall success.

What a match: They would have made a handsome couple in 1984

'Here's the way I look at it: nobody got arrested, nobody ended up in the paper, everybody's healthy, so I'm declaring victory and getting off the field,' he said.

During the interview, Rob revealed that Ellen had been his first choice to roast him during the recent Comedy Central special, but she could't find it in her to be mean to him.

He also revealed that while free diving during a vacation in the Maldives, he rescued a 12ft shark he found with a fishing hook and line caught in his mouth.

After giving him stick on his struggles pronouncing medial terms as a guest star on hospital drama Code Black, Ellen challenged him to a game in which he had to silently perform medical procedures on her and she had to guess her condition.
