In a candid revelation, John Stamos, the beloved TV star famous for his role in “Full House,” confessed to initially disliking the show when he joined the cast. Speaking on the latest episode of “Hot Ones,” Stamos shared his eventual change of heart, reflecting on the journey that led him to cherish the series.
One of the primary reasons for his initial aversion was a misunderstanding about the show’s nature. Stamos revealed that it wasn’t presented to him as a family comedy but rather as something resembling the hit 1980s sitcom “Bosom Buddies,” where characters disguise themselves as women to share a one-bedroom apartment they can afford.
However, a pivotal moment during an early table read shifted Stamos’ perception. Watching Jodie Sweetin’s portrayal of Stephanie eliciting laughter and cheers from the audience, he began to see the heart and charm of “Full House.” Although he initially contemplated leaving the show, he eventually chose to stay, stepping into the now-iconic role of Uncle Jesse, a character who played a significant role in raising his brother-in-law’s three adorable daughters.
Stamos acknowledged that he had resisted the show’s allure for a while but had an epiphany about its true essence. He recognized that “Full House” transcended any central character and was fundamentally grounded in themes of love and family. This realization led him to embrace the show’s warmth and affection, ultimately becoming an integral part of its enduring legacy.
