On November 13, fans of “Full House” were shocked when Dave Coulier revealed his cancer diagnosis in an interview with People. After experiencing health issues, he learned he has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Fortunately, his outlook is positive, and he has begun treatment, leading him to shave his head in preparation for potential hair loss.
In response to Coulier’s difficult diagnosis, John Stamos, his friend and co-star, shared images on Instagram of them both with shaved heads. He expressed support and admiration for Coulier’s strength, saying, “You’re handling this with so much strength and positivity – it’s inspiring.” However, many fans criticized Stamos for using a bald cap to mimic a shaved head, with comments like, “A bald cap? To show solidarity? Really?”
Reactions on social media were mixed, with some fans expressing outrage. One comment noted, “Don’t put it past @JohnStamos to make something about himself.” Another user suggested that Stamos should have refrained from participating entirely, stating, “Wearing a bald cap in solidarity is wild.” Yet, a few supporters defended Stamos, arguing that he might have legitimate reasons for not shaving his head.
John Stamos likely had to keep his money-maker
John Stamos, recognized for his signature hairstyle and prior cosmetic procedures, may have found it challenging to shave his head for his friend’s sake. Some fans suggested that given his status as a working actor, he couldn’t risk losing his trademark look. “I can see the insensitivity but then it’s John Stamos’s hair. I think he gets a pass,” an observer explained.
Adding fuel to the fire, Stamos was recently filming a project and cited the need to maintain his hairstyle for professional commitments. Reports confirmed he was on set for “Palm Royale” during the period in question and actively engaged in other TV appearances. This indicates that Stamos likely had constraints that warranted him to keep his recognizable look.
