Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber Used to Be Asked About Having a ‘Crush’ on “Full House” Uncle John Stamos: ‘A Gross Question’

Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, the beloved stars from the hit TV show Full House, recently shared some insights on the uncomfortable questions they were asked in the past regarding their co-star, John Stamos. During an episode of their podcast, “How Rude, Taneritos!”, the actresses engaged in a game of “Would You Rather” where they were posed with a choice between marrying the characters played by Dave Coulier and John Stamos on the show. Surprisingly, they both opted for Coulier’s character, Joey Gladstone, while acknowledging the awkwardness of the question.

Barber, aged 48, reflected on how they used to encounter similar inappropriate queries during press interviews for the popular ’80s TV series. She expressed her discomfort with questions like, “Did you ever have a crush on John Stamos?”, deeming them inappropriate and gross. Sweetin, 43, who played the niece of Stamos’ character on the show, echoed Barber’s sentiments by stating that Stamos and Coulier were like uncles to them both on and off-screen. She emphasised that it was strange to even consider marrying one of their co-stars given their familial bond.

The actresses highlighted that the Full House cast members viewed each other as family after working together on the show from 1987 to 1995. They reaffirmed this familial connection when they reunited for the Netflix spinoff series Fuller House in 2016, with the exception of the Olsen twins. Sweetin previously shared in an interview with PEOPLE in 2018 that the cast members are still very protective of each other, with their bond extending beyond the screen. She recounted how her on-screen dad, Bob Saget, even had a serious conversation with her fiancé, illustrating the closeness they share.

It is evident from Sweetin and Barber’s comments that the camaraderie among the Full House cast members goes beyond acting, transcending into a genuine familial relationship that has endured over the years. Despite the playful nature of the questions posed during the podcast, the actresses consistently emphasised the platonic and sibling-like dynamic they share with Stamos and Coulier. The enduring bond and mutual respect among the cast members serve as a testament to the lasting impact of Full House on both the actors and audiences alike.

As Sweetin and Barber reminisced about their time on Full House and the enduring friendships they formed with their co-stars, it is evident that the show holds a special place in their hearts. Their candid revelations during the podcast shed light on the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the beloved series and offer fans a glimpse into the genuine affection and camaraderie shared among the cast members. The enduring popularity of Full House and its legacy are a testament to the timeless appeal of the show and the enduring bonds forged on set, which continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
