John Stamos marked his 63rd birthday by posting a nude selfie on Instagram, drawing a flood of comments from fans and celebrities alike. The black-and-white photo, cropped just above the waist, showed the actor's toned physique as he posed in a bathroom with his face hidden.
Within hours, the post attracted thousands of responses, including from actress and singer Rita Wilson. The 69-year-old wrote: '63???? You have the numbers flipped. 36!!'
Fan reactions and celebrity comments
Other fans echoed the sentiment, with @the_burratababe commenting: 'Uncle Jesse why are you doing this to us 😩', while @kirbiejohnson said: 'Have meeeeeercyyyyyy'. @thepoptimist praised Stamos for 'raising the bar on how to age', as @emilygregory86 said he's 'never looked better'.
'DONT DO THIS TO ME STAMOS', added @femmedebloom. 'Uncle Jesse bout to break the internet 🎉🎉', @casey_atchison4_ predicted. Meanwhile, @fullhouse4ever admitted they 'nearly passed out' after seeing the star in his birthday suit.
A birthday tradition
This isn't the first time Stamos has shared a nude pic on Instagram, as it's become somewhat of a tradition. He started when he hit 60 in August 2023 by sharing a cheeky outdoor shower snap, taken by his wife Caitlin McHugh, whom he wed in 2018 and shares son Billy with. 'The other side of 60,' he captioned it jokingly.
He resumed the shower shots for his 62nd birthday, this time on the rooftop in Calvin Klein underwear, closing his eyes for the pic as water poured over him. Stamos wrote: 'A rooftop birthday shower in NYC to start the day, and the love of family and friends to carry me through. At 62, I've learned the best things in life can't be washed away…laughter, love, and gratitude. Thank you for every wish and every year. I don't take a single drop for granted.'
Stamos on aging and fame
Stamos has long been described as a celeb who 'doesn't age'. Speaking previously about maintaining his buff and youthful appearance, he told Us Weekly: 'Well, I don't do a lot. I wash my face. Depends on if there's some scrub around. I work out three or four times a week. I do this electric muscle-stimulant thing where you put a suit on, but you only wear it for 20 minutes. But good sleep now is important. Having a young son helps.'
When asked how it feels to be a 'zaddy', he quipped, 'Do I get an award?' before admitting the compliments are 'flattering' yet 'weird'. 'People come up, "Hey, John, how are you doing?" I'm like, "Do you know who I am?" I guess I've just been around a long time, but I'm still blown away by it.' He added that he wanted to be famous his 'whole life' and 'didn't care' about acting and has now realised that appearing in Full House in the 80s and 90s has shaped his legacy. 'I think the one thing that I wanted to get away from so badly, Full House, is the one thing that's kept me around.'
