Oct. 2, 2022 – Stamos admitted that he had “Peter Pan syndrome,” something he referred to as “dangerous.” Growing up was never his priority, and the youthfulness of his looks only stunted his maturity.
“I went into becoming an adult kicking and screaming,” he said. “And when you have the whole world going, ‘You look 20,’ I didn’t have any of those tentpoles that say you’re an adult, right? I was just skatin’ through.”
After getting sober, Stamos turned things around. He’s been married to second wife Caitlin McHugh since 2018, and is now a dad to son Billy. These days, he has quite a different perspective. He’s living for the moment, but also looking toward to the future. He also says he’s hoping for “more kids.”
“But I’m not looking too far in advance. I’m just thinking about now,” he stated. “’Cause the next moment might be someone, you know, gone, right?”
That understanding of loss is something Stamos knows all too well. In the interview, he also reflected on the loss of his dear friend, comedian and Full House star Bob Saget, who died at age 65 in January.
“I don’t know what else to say about it other than obviously … one of the biggest influences in my life was Bob. I wouldn’t be who I am without Bob,” explained Stamos, who co-starred with Saget on both Full House and Fuller House. “My parents, now that’s obvious. But him, you know, he was there for everything, all the good, all the bad. He was my brother, you know? He’s the brother that I always wanted.”
