John Stamos Defends Bald Cap Gesture Supporting Dave Coulier During Cancer Treatment

The actor expressed shock at criticism over his solidarity gesture while Coulier emphasized their use of humor to navigate a difficult time.

John Stamos faced backlash for wearing a bald cap in a social media post to show solidarity with his longtime friend and former 'Full House' co-star Dave Coulier, who is undergoing chemotherapy for stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Stamos explained that he wore the bald cap as a humorous gesture after Coulier asked him to shave his head, adding that he could not shave his own hair due to contractual obligations for an upcoming acting project.
Coulier publicly defended Stamos, stating that humor is central to how he copes and that the gesture brought him laughter during a challenging time.
Stamos expressed dismay at the negative reactions online, urging critics to focus on their own health by scheduling medical checkups, which he said aligns with Coulier’s message about cancer awareness.
The two actors, who have been friends for decades, spent their time together laughing, watching old movies, and reminiscing, with Stamos describing the visit as a deeply meaningful experience.
