Further talking, John said that at first he felt like he was the star of the show and this was his big shot, but just after the first table read with his co-star Jodie Sweetin, he was left a little devastated.

"Jodie Sweetin, who plays Stephanie (Tanner), reads her lines, and people are dying laughing—I mean, screaming," Stamos said, beforeadding, "I couldn’t even hear my linesthey were laughing so hard at her, and I’m like slinking down in my seat."

Adding further, the actor said he directly called his agent and said, “Get me the f–k off this show!”

Due to his late co-star Bob Saget and his agent, John agreed to give the show a try.“I fought it for a long time and then I finally said, ‘what am I doing? It’s a beautiful show built with sweetness and kindness',” he said.

Further, the actor said that he eventually realised that Full House was not about one actor, it was all about the Tanner family. "I realised the central character was love," he explained. "We were the best representation of a loving family, not a normal family. And it was the new normal that was now an unconventional family."

John Stamos played the role of Uncle Jesse in the eightseasons of the show from 1987-1995. The show revolved around Danny Tanner, played by Bob Saget, who is a widower who raises his three daughters with the help of his friend Joeyand brother-in-law Jesse.
