John Stamos achieved worldwide fame by portraying Jesse Katsopolis in the cherished sitcom "Full House," which ran from 1986 to 1995. Despite eventually growing fond of the show, he initially held strong negative feelings, confessing candidly during the July 20 episode of "First We Feast's Hot Ones," "I hated that show."

Stamos, previously recognized for his role on "General Hospital," detailed that the show's initial concept was pitched as reminiscent of the '80s sitcom "Bosom Buddies," yet it evolved to spotlight child actors. This shift from his expectations captured his attention and made him reevaluate his stance on the show.

The premise of "Full House" ultimately centered around widower Danny Tanner (portrayed by the late Bob Saget) and his journey in raising his three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law Katsopolis (Stamos) and close friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier).

However, the birthday picture did attract some backlash from commenters, who felt it was inappropriate given his age and status.

Stamos vividly recalled an early table read that stuck with him. During this read, Jodie Sweetin, who portrayed Stephanie, delivered her lines with such comedic prowess that the room erupted in laughter. Stamos recounted feeling overshadowed as Sweetin's performance captivated the audience's attention, prompting him to contemplate leaving the show entirely.

However, a change of heart soon followed. He and the cast decided to give the show a chance, and Saget's involvement played a crucial role in Stamos reconsidering his stance. He eventually recognized the beauty of the show's theme centered around love and its representation of an unconventional yet loving family. This realization made him reevaluate his initial reluctance and embrace the show's essence.

"Full House" went on to enjoy immense success, running for eight seasons and inspiring the spinoff "Fuller House," which aired from 2016 to 2020.

Besides enjoying fame and recognition, Stamos has embraced two more significant roles—being an older dad to his five-year-old son, Billy, and husband to his wife, Caitlin McHugh. In a recent interview, the "Born to Ride" star reflected on his role as a parent. Stamos, who became a first-time dad in his 50s, expressed deep gratitude for the timing of his parenthood, as he believed he wouldn't have been as equipped for the role in his earlier years.

Stamos Received Backlash on His 60th Birthday

In a move that showcased his confident aging, Stamos marked his 60th birthday by sharing a cheeky nude photo of himself on Instagram. The actor posed in what seemed to be an outdoor shower, strategically covering certain parts while giving a sultry glance over his shoulder into the camera.

The caption accompanying the daring shot, posted on August 24, read, "The other side of 60," with a nod to his wife, McHugh, for capturing the candid moment.
