John Stamos Addresses His Misunderstood Public Image
For most of us, a nostalgic television show, Full House, comes to mind when we hear the name Uncle Jesse. Disney actor and self-proclaimed fan John Stamos just did an interview with CBS where he addresses his misunderstood public image.
Full House
After becoming a household name as Jesse Cochran in Full House, many fans assumed John Stamos mirrored the character he portrayed. A smooth, handsome, Elvis-loving lady’s man, Stamos states that he felt pressure to be something he was not for a season in his life.

He expressed, “There was a long time when I felt like I need to be this lothario because people were living vicariously through me, which I thought.” Eventually, there came a point where Stamos had to face this false narrative.
He realized he was “tired of being something that I’m not.” After thoughtful introspection, he came to terms with his people-pleasing ways and decided to “stop trying to charm the world.”

Family Man
In the interview, Stamos opens up about his childhood and how his interpretation of Hollywood actors lent itself to this erroneous mind frame. He cleared the air, stating he was never “that guy” and that deep down, he was a family man who “always wanted to be married and always wanted to have a family.”

It may have taken some time to get there, but now Stamos is living his dream! He got engaged to his wife, Caitlin McHugh, an avid Disney fan, at Disneyland Resort in 2017.
Bis Shot Season 2
The handsome couple got married in a beautiful ceremony in 2018 and had a son named Billy shortly after. Stamos is currently starring in Big Shot Season 2, which will air on Disney+ on October 12.

In an Instagram post, Stamos shared that Season 2 “represents everything Disney is to me — family, inclusion, unity.” The interview addressing John Stamos’s misunderstood public image aired on CBS Sunday Morning.
The actor seems relieved to finally set the record straight about who he really is. Ten episodes will be available to binge-watch upon the premiere of Big Shot Season 2; we can’t wait to see what the show has in store!
