These actors need everyone to calm down, please. Those viral photos of television stars Dave Coulier and — perhaps best known as uncles Joey and Jesse, respectively, from hit ’90s sitcom “Full House” — aren’t worth getting upset about. And that’s coming straight from Coulier, who recently revealed his harrowing cancer diagnosis.
To wit, on Nov. 13, the 65-year-old told magazine that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Coulier and his doctors discovered it after he came in due to complications seemingly related to an upper respiratory infection.
“I went from, I got a little bit of a head cold to I have cancer, and it was pretty overwhelming,” Coulier told People. “This has been a really fast roller coaster ride of a journey.” A few days later, took to social media to post photos in support of his longtime peer and friend.
The jarring images, showing an actually-bald Coulier with a faux-bald Stamos, were accompanied by the latter’s caption: “Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro @dcoulier. “You’re handling this with so much strength and positivity — it’s inspiring. I know you’re going to get through this, and I’m proud to stand with you every step of the way.
I love you.” (Stamos also threw in a shoutout for Coulier’s wife, Melissa, whom he described as “the most wonderfulest.”) As pointed out, however, social media was none too pleased.
