John Stamos recently shared a heartwarming birthday message for his longtime friend and former Full House co-star, Jodie Sweetin, who celebrated her 44th birthday on Monday. Their friendship has endured for over three decades, stemming from their time together on the iconic sitcom Full House from 1987 to 1995, where Sweetin portrayed Stephanie Tanner and Stamos played Uncle Jesse. Their on-screen chemistry was later revisited in the Netflix revival, Fuller House.
In a post on Instagram, Stamos reminisced about their time on Full House by sharing five nostalgic photos of the duo. The caption playfully referenced a memorable scene from the show where Stephanie, D.J., and Kimmy Gibbler sang Ace of Base’s “The Sign” for a school talent show. Stamos jokingly apologized for wishing Sweetin a happy birthday a day late, expressing his love for her.
Before her role as Stephanie Tanner, Sweetin began her acting career with national commercials and a guest appearance on Valerie. She took on the role of Stephanie from a young age until the end of Full House, after which she completed high school and pursued studies at Chapman University. Since then, Sweetin has ventured into hosting, dancing competitions, podcasting, and even authored a memoir titled unSweetined.
Currently, Sweetin appears in Hallmark’s The Jane Mysteries and co-hosts a Full House rewatch podcast with Andrea Barber. She is also set to perform at SF Sketchfest, debuting her new comedy variety show, Smoke Show with Sweetin. Meanwhile, Stamos is busy filming Season 2 of Netflix’s The Hunting Wives and has projects lined up for SXSW.
Fans can relive the magic of Full House and Fuller House by streaming the shows on Hulu and Netflix. The enduring friendship between Stamos and Sweetin continues to warm the hearts of fans, showcasing the lasting bond formed on the set of a beloved sitcom.
