Candace Cameron Bure spent years starring on “Full House” and “Fuller House” alongside John Stamos, who played the character of Uncle Jesse alongside her character of DJ Tanner.
Though Uncle Jesse was known for being a heartthrob to millions of female fans, he will always be an uncle figure in the eyes of Bure. She made that clear in a new interview in which she was asked which was more iconic, DJ’s bangs or Uncle Jesse’s face and body. Bure immediately responded by saying DJ’s bangs as her answer, saying that she finds it creepy to think of Uncle Jesse’s physique, given the fact that she sees him as a family member.
“Oh,” she told People Magazine. “I thought you were gonna say his hair. You guys just kind of lost me at his face and body. Although his face, yay. I don’t want to think about Uncle Jesse’s body. I’m sorry, he’s my uncle. Don’t put me in that position… So I have to go with DJ’s bangs.”
When asked to defend this choice, Bure explained that she could not get over how creepy the question was.
I was going to go with the Uncle Jesse thing except it looks like the wrong choice. I can’t,” she said. “I feel creepy if I go with him thinking about his body, so I have to with DJ’s bangs being the most iconic you know that you all have the same hairstyle. And if you didn’t, you tried to have it. Just some big bangs up high, a lot of hair spray, wings on the outside. That’s what the 80s and 90s were for, man. Big hair.”
Bure went on to explain how she made DJ’s bangs work.
“You take the palm of your hand and you go like this (demonstrates), which automatically gives you a rat’s nest, and then you took the Aquanet and you went up and over,” she said. “And then it would stay up.”
Though “Fuller House” has come to an end on Netflix, Bure recently told Us Magazine that she would gladly return to it if it is ever picked up again.
“We would absolutely love it if we could because I think there are so many fun stories to tell with the Fuller House gang… There’s just so much more there,” she said. “So, who knows? We can only, you know, cross our fingers and hope that the people who control it would allow us to do it.”
