Where is he now?
(People magazine, 2000)
Fans of Full House's hunky rock and roller taped John Stamos's picture to their bedroom walls.
But a clinch with the actor (who had Uncle Jesse's surname changed in 1990 to affirm his own Greek heritage) might have dampened their ardor."Before every kissing scene, he'd eat Doritos and puff on a cigar," recalls his TV spouse, Lori Loughlin.
Stamos's goofy sense of humor endeared him to his castmates, and to supermodel Rebecca Romijn, whom he married in 1998. ("When we're at a restaurant, sometimes I have to duck under the table because I'm laughing so hard," says Romijn-Stamos, 27.)
After Full House, Stamos, 36, craved new challenges. He starred on Broadway's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and played a porn editor in this year's indie feature Dropping Out. He has also become a producer, working on projects including The Beach Boys An American Family, a miniseries about the band, with whom Stamos often sits in on drums, and an upcoming TV remake of Butterflies Are Free, starring his wife.
For Stamos, life out of the klieg lights has had one major benefit He can leave home without drawing a crowd. Recently, he says, "I rode on a public bus for the first time. It was so liberating! I feel rejuvenated as a human being."
