How to drive, he tells her to "feel the vibrations", but does not tell her how to make a turn, which results in her putting deep scratches in his car. In "Please Don't Touch the Dinosaur" (6.18), when the field trip comes to a stop after the destruction of a large dinosaur skeleton, Danny accuses Jesse of being too laid back and Jesse does admit that the fun "got a little out of hand". During his teenage years, he was known to be a bit of a troublemaker, and during that time he had a girlfriend named Elana Banalakis whom he last saw when he was 14 years old ( "Greek Week" ). Jesse Katsopolis was born on April 15, 1963, to Nick and Irene Katsopolis He is half-Greek and half-Italian Greek on his father's side and Italian on his mother's side. Listening to the audio recording I played you about Bob, I started tearing up. Me and my wife, we always say “goodnight, everybody, everywhere,” like from the Beatles song.

This is a story that was obviously told to Stamos rather than one he remembers himself, but it kind of embodies his whole ethos. The 60-year-old thrives on stories and memories and nostalgia. Whatever his feelings about "Full House," it made John Stamos a next-level star, and gave him a best friend in co-star Bob Saget. The boy who didn't want to grow up was born in Orange County, California in 1963.

If you want to visit the house that was used for the exterior shots of the Tanner family home you will need to go to 1709 Broderick Street. Did you know that Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full and Fuller House, purchased the house? Elsewhere in her interview with Sweetin and Barber, the Hallmark Channel alum recalled the moment she found out their beloved costar Bob Saget suddenly passed away in 2022. Fans of the iconic sitcom “Full House,” which famously starred Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — as well as the late comedian Bob Saget, who passed away unexpectedly in January at age 65 — can now own part of the show’s history.

The show earned a reboot on Netflix in February 2016 as Fuller House. Along with serving as an executive producer, Stamos returned as Uncle Jesse in a recurring role. Stamos, 60, also writes about sexual abuse he says he suffered when he was around 10 or 11 years old, as well as the unexpected death of his Full House co-star and longtime friend Bob Saget in 2022.

He writes in his book that he had “the sort of true friendship that’s supposed to be the foundation of a great, lasting relationship” with Lori Loughlin, who played his wife, Becky, on Full House. The on-screen couple’s real-life friendship felt, at one time to Stamos, like it was on the precipice of turning romantic. The house is also teeming with meticulously documented particulars of their own lives — a tendency Stamos may have inherited from his mom, who saved every blurb about her son and every calendar with his audition schedule.

When she is very young, he often tells her about his problems. Like Joey (and later, Becky), Jesse is a surrogate parent to the girls. In "D.J. Tanner's Day Off" (1.22), he mentions how Nick would give him the "dad face" whenever he got punished (and all the guys give D.J. the "dad face" after finding out that she played hooky). Jesse is also known for his famous recipe of fried chicken.

In the living room, there’s an actual seat from Disneyland’s Dumbo ride, a gift to Stamos from his then-wife Rebecca Romijn, and his office desk displays one of Walt’s candlestick phones next to a picture of the media giant using it. With looks, charm, and a star on the Walk of Fame, it always seemed like Stamos had the perfect life. But his first marriage, to model-actress Rebecca Romijn, ended in divorce. And as he writes in a new memoir coming out later this fall, "If You Would Have Told Me," he had other dark days as well.

As well as the big grins they sported during the fun clip, the former costars wore stylish contrasting looks, with Loughlin in an all-black outfit that consisted of a blazer, top and fitted pants and heels. Stamos, meanwhile, looked dapper in a matching brown jacket and pants, with a black shirt underneath and bright white sneakers. In the video, Stamos, 60, stood in what appeared to be a garden, performing a solo shuffle to “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers before — a few seconds in — Loughlin, 59, hopped into frame and danced behind him. John Stamos seems to have become the "Full House" official historian and keeper of nostalgia. After all, according to a 2016 Variety interview with "Full House" creator Jeff Franklin, Stamos was instrumental in coming up with the idea for "Fuller House," the sequel to the original series.

If you can’t get enough of the Tanners, head on over to Netflix to catch up with the next generation with Fuller House. And don't forget to pick up Stamos's memoir available wherever books are sold. In later seasons, Jesse and Joey start a career as radio hosts with a show called The Rush Hour Renegades (KFLH-FM 95.6). Jesse would then inherit and re-open The Smash Club, which was a nightclub that he attended frequently while growing up, and where his band played regularly. In the beginning, Jesse has a "bad boy" clothing style, but this changes to a more casual style in later seasons.

That’s less than a number of his Full House co-stars, including the Olsen twins ($250 million each), his on-screen wife Lori Loughlin ($70 million), and Bob Saget ($50 million at his death). He had tackled the same role a few years back in a Hollywood Bowl stage production. Saget died on January 9, 2022, from head trauma after falling in a hotel room in Florida. Stamos, a close friend who has called Saget the “brother I always wanted,” gave a eulogy at his memorial service that was published by the Los Angeles Times.

Remember how they used to show the houses, known as the painted ladies, in the opening credits of the show? Well silly me, I thought that one of those houses was the Tanner house even though none of them looked like it. So I went to Alamo Square and took a picture thinking I was in the right spot. Medical examiners found a bruise on the back of his head, leading them to believe he likely hit his head, went to sleep and never woke up, never realizing he needed medical attention.

Turning back to family fare in 2021, Stamos teamed with Disney for two seasons of the Disney+ series Big Shot. He played Marvyn Korn, a fiery college basketball coach who loses his job and instead begins coaching an elite team at an all-girls private school. Three weeks later, Stamos was cast as Blackie Parrish on the ABC soap opera General Hospital.

"Danny Tanner was the father of my dreams, the father I wish I had," wrote Instagram user meusfilmeselivros. "Seeing Bob Saget there was bittersweet. I miss him deeply." Another user, justinesalisbury1993, commented on the cast's friendships. "I love how you all are friends in real life and have remained close all these years later!" Yet another user, jacksoneric, wanted them to use this footage as the basis for a "Full House" documentary. After Full House was canceled, Stamos continued acting on television, made-for-TV movies, commercials (including one during the "10-10" long-distance phone number trend in the late '90s)[3], and stage productions. He starred in the short-lived series, Jake in Progress and in 2006, he portrayed Dr. Tony Gates on the hit NBC medical drama, ER.

Stamos chose to pursue Romijn, now 50, and the former couple went on to date two months later, tie the knot in September 1998 and call it quits in 2004 after six years of marriage. Afterward, he realized he had to decide whether to pursue his costar or the model, he told InStyle in October. Stamos recalled Loughlin being his platonic date to the 1994 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show afterparty when he met his ex-wife Rebecca Romijn.
