The actor talks about his early wish to become famous, undergoing rehab, and the impact of the death of his friend Bob Saget.
Correspondent Tracy Smith asked actor John Stamos,"Do you feel like you're having a moment?"
These days, he's also a husband and a father. He married actor and model Caitlin McHugh in 2018, just before the birth of their son, Billy. It was the end of what he says was maybe one of the longest childhoods in history. "I wanted to be famous," he said."I wanted to be famous so bad! And then once I got it, I loved it. I still do. You know, these people go, 'Oh, I hate being famous, taking pictures.' If you see me somewhere, ask for a picture. I'm happy to do it, because it's what I wanted my whole life."He skipped college to try his hand at acting, and landed a role as Blackie Parish on the long-running soap"General Hospital.
At Stamos' 50th birthday bash in 2013, Saget toasted his friend:"You deserve so much happiness and you are so full of love and you are such a great person. And the talent and the looks everybody resents, but you're just a heart, and I just love you very, very much." after a fall in a Florida hotel room, Stamos was shattered.
Stamos is a collector: his home is filled with photos of heroes who became friends. He's also collected a few screen credits, like a long-term part on the hit series"ER."
