John Stamos recently opened up about a brief and rather unusual . On the Sunday, August 25 episode of the podcast, the actor shared how he was lured into attending a Scientology meeting by a combination of a "hot girl" and his admiration for actor John Travolta. Stamos recalled how he was 17 at the time and was pursuing an acting career when he was invited to a gathering.
What he didn't initially realize was that the event was hosted at the Church of Scientology's headquarters in Los Angeles. "With me, I was in an acting class and there was a hot girl, [who] said to me, 'You know we're all meeting at this [place] on Hollywood Boulevard, you should come after [class],'" the alum recalled. The 61-year-old said he was intrigued by the presence of a beautiful woman plus the allure of a church associated with his idol, Travolta, who had been a member since 1975.
" "I wanted to be John Travolta, I still do. Well, minus the whatever it is that they do," he stated in the podcast. Stamos recalled how he was introduced to an "E-Meter," a device used by Scientologists which claims to measure changes in emotional states.
His reaction to the contraption was to joke around, and started mimicking a phone conversation with the device. "I was doing a Peabody and Sherman [impression] and they didn't like that," the tv star shared. His behavior was not well received as Stamos recounted, "I was just f–king around so much, they said, 'Get out [and] get going.
