John Stamosis trying to make people smile during a troubling time for his longtime costarLori Loughlin.
“The funniest things make you laugh,” Stamos said to the camera. “Watch, I’ve got something caught in my teeth.”
He then made the first noise, which caused Billy — whom Stamos shares with wifeCaitlin McHugh— to erupt into hysterical laughter. “Why is that so funny?” Stamos asked as he continued to joke around with his little boy and make him laugh.
“That’s not even a fake laugh!” Stamos said. “You just like laughing, don’t you?”
The actor captioned the adorable video, “For those of us who just need a good smile right now. xo” — a nod to Loughlin’salleged involvement with a college admissions cheating scam.
Though Loughlin hasdeleted her social media accountsin the wake of the alleged scandal, the cute video caught the attention of Stamos’ otherFull HousecostarCandace Cameron Bure.
Bure, who played Donna Jo (DJ) Tanner on the series, commented on the post with, “I definitely needed this right now.”
Bure and Stamos starred on the show together for eight years, from 1987-1995. Loughlin, who played Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis, joined the cast in 1988 and remained as a series regular until the show went off the air.
All three stars have reprised their roles during the sitcom’s reboot on Netflix,Fuller House.
