Fans of actor John Stamos were left stunned this week after the beloved television star unveiled a dramatic and unexpected new look. The 62-year-old, long celebrated for his youthful appearance and signature dark, shaggy hair, took to Instagram to reveal a bold transformation involving striking blonde streaks.
A Surprising Salon Transformation
In a series of posts shared on Tuesday, the Full House icon documented the process of lightening his recognisable dark locks. Stamos filmed himself in the stylist's chair with hairstylist Riawna Capri, who combed through his thick hair to create a surprising emo style. He humorously captioned the video, 'Me still talking about the mom group drama,' while lip-syncing to a clip of Kim Kardashian.
He simply added, 'New do,' giving credit to Capri for the change. In a follow-up post that same day, Stamos shared a comical photo where his shaggy hair was arranged into two towering horns, with his fringe wrapped in foil. He contrasted the bold hairdo with a rugged beard and captioned the image, 'Trust the process.'
Revealing the Finished Look
Any trace of hesitation vanished when the actor revealed the final results. Stamos flashed a sly smile, showing off his perfectly coiffed blonde highlights, which were swept back dramatically. Another shot featured him gazing directly into the camera with a piercing look, highlighting his perpetually youthful appearance.
The reaction from fans was swift and astonished. One wrote, 'Have mercyyy,' while another referenced his iconic character, joking, 'All I hear is uncle Jesse saying "watch the hair, watch the hair!!"' Others praised his hair quality, with one comment reading, 'My god you have amazing hair!' and another admitting, 'I can't believe what I'm watching.' One fan noted, 'I guess being obsessed with your hair never changed, just like when you were on Full House.'
A Week of Remembrance for Bob Saget
Stamos's lighthearted display came shortly after a period of sombre reflection. His former Full House co-star Candace Cameron Bure paid tribute to their late friend and colleague Bob Saget on Friday, marking the fourth anniversary of his death.
The 49-year-old actress, who recently addressed her public feuds, used Instagram to remember the comedian. Sharing a series of photos with Saget, who played her father Danny Tanner on the sitcom, she wrote: 'I miss you. Not just today, but every day.' She tagged his Instagram account, which has remained inactive since his final post on January 9, 2022—the day he died at age 65.
Saget was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando four years ago. Authorities ruled out foul play, determining he had suffered blunt head trauma from a fall. He had just begun a US tour and had spoken enthusiastically about his latest performance online hours before his passing.
In the immediate wake of his death, Bure shared multiple heartbroken reactions. 'I don't know what to say. I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I've ever known in my life. I loved him so much,' she wrote in one post. In another, she lamented, 'Oh, Bob. Why'd you have to leave us so soon? We are all family, but you were the glue.'
John Stamos also paid his respects on social media last Friday with a poignant tribute. He wrote on Instagram: 'Missing Bob feels like standing in a quiet room after the laughter stops. Your ears still ring with what was there, but the sound is gone. The heart of it is gone. It’s empty.'
His emotional note continued, 'Missing someone is love with nowhere to go. So it sits beside you. It waits. Hoping they’ll walk back through the door and the laughter will start again.' He concluded with the raw sentiment: '4 f***ing years. Can’t believe it. I miss you, Bob.'
