AceShowbiz - John Stamos, the 61-year-old actor famously known for his role as Uncle Jesse on "Full House", recently opened up about a unique experience he had in his teenage years. While appearing on the "Friends in High Places" podcast, Stamos revealed that he was once invited to a Church of Scientology recruitment event by a "hot girl" from his acting class. This seemingly innocuous invitation led to a memorable encounter that ended with him being thrown out of the meeting.
The incident took place when Stamos was still working at his father's restaurant. Reflecting on the experience, he shared, "I was working at my dad's restaurant at the time, and I said, 'Dad, I gotta go.' So, I went and it was the Scientology building." The address was on Hollywood Boulevard, a location that added an air of excitement to the young actor's expectations.
Upon arrival, Stamos was introduced to the group's practices, which included the use of an E-Meter. This tool is reportedly utilized by the church to detect "spiritual distress." However, the actor's playful nature soon got the best of him. "I was doing a Peabody and the Way Back Machine [impression]," he recalled. "And they didn't like that. Then, I was just f***ing around so much, they said, 'Get out, get going!' They just kicked me out."
The story took a humorous turn as Stamos acknowledged the behavior that led to his expulsion. After the podcast interviewer suggested that his antics made him "too annoying" for the group, Stamos couldn't help but agree, saying that he must have been "pretty bad" to get kicked out.
For young people, Stamos' story serves as a light-hearted reminder that sometimes, pushing boundaries and having some fun can lead to unexpected and amusing consequences. The actor's candid recapitulation not only offers a glimpse into a lesser-known part of his past but also provides a laugh-out-loud moment that resonates with his charismatic persona.
