Dave Coulier reveals cancer diagnosis
Actor Dave Coulier reveals a cancer diagnosis in his latest announcement.
Fox – 2 Detroit
“Full House” star Dave Coulier’s house just got fuller.
The veteran actor and comedian revealed to Parade in an interview published Monday that he had become a grandfather.
“We’re so excited,” Coulier, 65, told the outlet. “My son and his wife live in California, so we’ll be making multiple trips to see that little boy.”
Coulier’s son Luc, 34, welcomed his first child, a baby boy, with wife Alex on Thursday, Parade reports. Luc, who Coulier shares with ex-wife Jayne Modean, is the comedian’s only child and a pilot for FedEx.
“I have a lot to do,” Coulier told the outlet, sharing that he wanted to beautify the Detroit-area home he shares with wife Arlene so it would be in ship-shape for the family’s new addition. “There’s lots of work to do here on the exterior of the home. I want to get out my tractor and keep planting trees and beautifying our home space.”
Coulier, who was diagnosed with cancer in October, told Parade he is staying positive as he undergoes treatment − especially with such exciting news for the family.
“A negative attitude doesn’t inspire anybody. Positivity, though, can take you a long way,” he said.
Coulier shared his diagnosis − stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma − with fans in November. His “Full House” castmates were the first to hear the news, however.
In an interview with People, the actor shared that he had let his former co-stars know in a group-chat before the announcement went public.
“It was just this outpouring of, ‘I will be there. You just name the time, and I know you’re in great hands with Mel, but what can we do?’” he told the outlet. “It really is overwhelming the love that we have for each other. We’ve been there for so many years for each other and it’s pretty remarkable.”
