Dave Coulier Says John Stamos’s Bald-Cap Thing Is Just Their Humor, Chill Out

Eyebrows were understandably raised yesterday when Full House star John Stamos revealed that he’d worn a bald cap in “solidarity” with his costar Dave Coulier, who just revealed his cancer diagnosis. If you don’t want to shave your head, fine, but why make it about your own hair at all?

“Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro @dcoulier You’re handling this with so much strength and positivity—it’s inspiring. I know you’re going to get through this, and I’m proud to stand with you every step of the way. I love you,” Stamos wrote in the caption of Instagram pictures in which he appears to be bald (well, appears to be part-egg) while shaving Coulier’s head.

The internet’s reaction was a near-unanimous cringe. But apparently Dave thought it was fine, so okay!

“I’m sorry to see a bunch of negative comments as I’ve just begun my cancer journey,” the actor, who has Stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma, wrote online, adding that this was just their sense of humor and then he “laughed out loud when [Stamos] arrived wearing a bald cap.”

(Personally, I think the Photoshop is what put it over the line. Bald caps are funny.)
