What would Full House be without the Olsen twins?
Well according to John Stamos, it was very close to happening.
The Full House star admitted Thursday that a preview from Lifetime’s upcoming Unauthorized Full House Story docu-movie is correct by showing the actor trying to get rid of Mary-Kate and Ashley, who were cast on the ABC hit when they less than a year old.
“It’s sort of true that the Olsen twins cried a lot,” Stamos told critics at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour in Beverly Hills. “It was very difficult to get the shot. So I [gesturing], ‘Get them out…!’ That is actually 100 percent accurate. They brought in a couple of unattractive redheaded kids. We tried that for a while and that didn’t work. [Producers] were like, all right, get the Olsen twins back. And that’s the story.”
Although he was there to promote his new Fox comedy Grandfathered, Stamos briefly mentioned Netflix’s Fuller House.
He revealed that he shot two episodes of the show, but kept his lips sealed about any other details!
