John Stamos made an off-beat choice to support his long-time friend this fall‚ wearing a bald cap instead of going for the traditional head-shave (which many do for cancer patients)
His Full House co-star Dave Coulier got some hard news bout 1 month ago: stage-3 lymphoma diagnosis. Stamos wanted to show his care in a light-hearted way; however his approach didnt sit well with everyone
Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro. Youʼre handling this with so much strength and positivity—its inspiring
The internet quickly split into two camps about the 61-year-olds gesture: some folks thought it was kinda fake while others saw it as a fun way to lift spirits. “As someone who has had cancer 3 times I never wanted anyone to shave their head for me“ wrote one supporter named Julie Gookin who thought the whole thing was pretty funny
Coulier (who played Uncle Joey in the show) keeps his head up despite everything: “Iʼve tried to retain a sense of reality but also a sense of humour about it.“ Meanwhile social media users keep debating if Stamos shouldʼve just grabbed some clippers instead of using a cap
