Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber always thought of “Uncle Jesse” as just that.
The former “Full House” child stars opened up about the awkward questions they were asked about costar John Stamos during a mini-episode of their “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast on April 25. In the episode, the two play “Would You Rather?” when the question arises of whether they would rather marry Joey Gladstone or Jess Katsopolis.
Both eventually agree that Joey was the better choice due to Jesse’s “toxic male traits,” said Barber, and that Joey would be “somebody that makes me laugh,” said Sweetin. But the pair admitted the question was “weird” for them.
“I’m like, I don’t know that it’s because it’s like they’re family and it’s weird,” Sweetin, 43, said. “But I guess, if you had to pick based on temperament alone, we’re going with Gladstone.”
Barber, 48, then brought up how uncomfortable it is to be asked about the actors in this way, after becoming so close on the 1990s sitcom.
“When people ask us in media interviews, they’re like, ‘Did you ever have a crush on John Stamos?’ No, that is a gross question,” Barber said. “They’re like our older brothers, and we do not think of them that way.”
“Not even older brothers, like they’re like my uncles,” said Sweetin, who played the two men’s niece Stephanie Tanner on the series.
“There’s nothing remotely attractive about this,” Barber, who played neighbor Kimmy Gibbler, added.
“Full House” aired from 1987 to 1995, starring Stamos, 61, Sweetin, Barber, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen and the late Bob Saget. The cast has remained close, with Stamos telling USA TODAY in July that “Bob was the one who kept us all together, he was the glue. It still hurts. He was just plucked out of our lives.”
Saget was found dead in a Florida hotel room on Jan. 9, 2022, and his cause of death was determined to be head trauma. Before his death, the cast – sans Oslen twins – reprised their roles on the sequel series “Fuller House,” from 2016 to 2020.
