John Stamos shared a new photo of Mary-Kate It is Ashley Olsen reuniting with his Full house castmates.
In celebration of the late Bob Saget, on what would have been the actor and comedian’s 68th birthday on Friday, Stamos posted a black and white photo of when the cast reunited for Saget’s funeral in January 2022.
“Happy birthday Bob,” he captioned the nostalgic photo, in which the twins pose alongside Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie SweetinScott Weinger and series creator Jeff Franklin.
“This was taken as we gathered for his funeral. Although Bob was not physically present, his spirit was unmistakably present, enveloping us in warmth and sharing memories that brought laughter and tears,” Stamos said in his tribute. “That day, each of us felt the weight of his absence and the strength of the bond he nurtured between us. Bob was the heart of our ‘Full House’ family. His legacy of kindness and compassion was evident in the faces around me , (in Dumbo) in the gentle way we supported each other, echoing the love he always extended. We celebrate a life that was a true gift to us all.”
“Bob, you are with us in every joke we share and every hug we give,” concluded the actor. “Rest in peace dear friend. Your family misses you more than words can say. 💔.”
The notoriously private Olsen twins have not been part of many of the cast’s reunions nor have they appeared on the sitcom’s Netflix spinoff series Fuller House. However, the duo was present at Saget’s funeral and after the actor and comedian’s death due to accidental head trauma in the first days of 2022. a source shared with ET that Mary-Kate and Ashley maintained a “very special relationship” with his TV dad over the years.
“Bob was very protective of them and texted them regularly over the years,” the source said at the time.
The source added that it was never a question of whether or not the twins would attend the memorial and that while it was an emotional day, it was also a blessing to be able to be surrounded by so many of the beloved comedian’s loved ones and share memories and laughter in his honor. The source notes that the service was “very special” and that “all of (Saget’s) favorite people were in one room together.”
Stamos previously opened about the Olsen twins’ presence at Saget’s funeral in an October 2023 interview with Howard Stern.
“They came to Bob’s funeral and it was so beautiful,” Stamos told the host. “They gathered us together and said, ‘We love you. We loved our childhood. We’re grateful for you, thank you for making these eight years so beautiful for us. We have great memories.’
“Everyone needed to hear this,” Stamos added.
