When Dave Coulier revealed his stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis, his Full House co-star John Stamos found a unique way to show his support—by showing up in a bald cap. While meant as a lighthearted gesture, Stamos faced online backlash from fans who felt shaving his head would have been a more meaningful statement.
Coulier quickly stepped in to defend his longtime friend. “John knows how to cheer me up,” Coulier explained in an Instagram post, emphasizing their shared humor as a way to navigate difficult times. “I laughed out loud when he arrived in that bald cap. That’s who we are.” He also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming positive response, sharing how many people were inspired by his openness to schedule their health screenings.

Despite the whirlwind of emotions since his diagnosis, Coulier remains committed to finding joy and spreading awareness about early cancer detection. He highlighted his family’s approach to tough times, where laughter helped them cope with loss.
The backlash soon turned to support, with Stamos commenting three heart emojis and others, like Kelly Rizzo, defending their friendship. “If people knew how much John loves Dave, no one would criticize,” she noted, adding that late Full House star Bob Saget would have joined in the laughter.
Coulier’s journey has been overwhelming, starting with what he thought was a simple head cold but quickly escalated to cancer. Yet, with Stamos and humor by his side, Coulier faces his fight with resilience, proving laughter and love are the ultimate support systems.
