John Stamos recently spoke in a Us Weekly interview about how close he was to late actor Bob Saget, stating that the latter never knew about the impact he had on his fans.

According to Stamos, Saget never understood how much he was loved by the public when he was alive. He stated:

“But the bummer was, he didn’t know. I don’t think he knew how loved he was. And I wish that you could sort of bring him back and sit him down and … you know, read everything, I’m sure he’s seeing everything. ‘Cause I can hear him complain sometimes if I’m very quiet from heaven. He’s like, ‘What, why did you say that, John?’”

Stamos has always been open about his friendship with Saget, as he considered Saget his brother. He stated that Saget’s legacy is an inspiration for his character as the high school basketball coach, Marvyn, in Big Shot.

Speaking about the same, he said:

“I wanted to sort of tap into what U felt about Bob and then Marvyn feels about his legacy. And then, you know, the girls then throw him sort of a memorial at a graduation, but they bring people back and … he realizes how, what he meant to everybody. And mainly he says to his daughter, ‘You are my legacy.’ So that was nice that we got to do that.”

Stamos recalled that he and Saget went to Disneyland together. Although he could not remember the rides they went on and the food they ate, he remembers how they felt.

He continued by saying that they felt the "unspoken love that happens between grown men dressed in pajamas", further stating that every day they spent together was Stamos’ favorite day.

Stamos then requested the audience:

“Let’s be present. As you know we can never reclaim that time with people. There is such goodness possible. There are compassionate souls ready to help. It’s our Disney duty. I ask you this, please let the job and happiness that is created in this magical place in here, to stay with us out there.”

Bob Saget's cause of death

According to an autopsy report released the following month, Saget suffered from blunt head trauma resulting from being hit in the back of his head. This might have happened from a fall, and he was also Covid-19 positive at the time of his death.
