Everywhere you look, Full House is! The family favorite sitcom debuted in 1987, and it’s hard to believe that May 23 marks 25 years since the ABC sitcom left airwaves. Although we saw many of the original cast members come back on the Netflix revival series, Fuller House, we’re taking a look back to see how all of the Tanner family and their friends have grown up in the years since the show ended.
Bob Saget: Then
Wake up with Danny Tanner, San Francisco! The stand-up comedian portrays the father of the house, a morning talk show host and clean freak taking care of his three daughters as a single dad after his wife, Pam, died in a car accident.
Bob Saget: Now After the sitcom wrapped, Saget continued his comedy career. His stand-up special That’s What I’m Talkin’ About was nominated for a GRAMMY, and in 2014, he wrote a memoir called Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian, which became a bestseller. The 64-year-old actor also hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos, which actually started during Full House’s original run. Saget returned as Danny Tanner for Fuller House, though he wasn’t the star of the show. Still, Danny was an important presence as D.J. took on a full house of her own in the Netflix revival. Previously married to Sherri Kramer, with whom he shares three daughters, Saget wed Kelly Rizzo in 2018. John Stamos: Then The hunky actor and singer starred as Danny Tanner’s brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis, who moved in with the Tanners to help raise his three nieces. A bad boy with a heart of gold, Jesse also remembers him with the Beach Boys. Have mercy! Before landing his role on Full House, John starred on Dreams, You Again? and General Hospital.
John Stamos: Now
Yep, his hair is still great! The 56-year-old actor continued to steal hearts on the small screen, appearing on Thieves, Jake in Progress, ER, Glee, The New Normal, Necessary Roughness and Grandfathered. He served as the self-appointed captain for Fuller House, signing on to produce the series and announcing many of the casting confirmations on his social media accounts. He married Caitlin McHugh in 2018, and the pair welcomed son Billy that same year.
Dave Coulier: Then
The Canadian actor eventually became just as famous for being called out in one of ex Alanis Morissette’s songs, but first, he made us all laugh as actor Joey Gladstone. Uncle Joey was Danny Tanner’s childhood best friend who also moves in to help raise the three girls.
Dave Coulier: Now Cut it out! Much like Bob Saget, Coulier hosted shows as well, namely America’s Most Talented Kid. He’s also popped up on reality TV on The Surreal Life, Skating With Celebrities and Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition. As he did before starring on Full House, the 60-year-old comedian continued to voice characters for TV shows like Extreme Ghostbusters, China, IL and Robot Chicken, In 2014, he wed photographer Melissa Bring, and many of his Full House co -stars participated the nuptials. He has one son, Luc, from a previous marriage to Jayne Modean. Coulier returned for Fuller House and directed several episodes of the Netflix series, and he most recently appeared on an episode of Dollface as his himself.
Candace Cameron Bure: Then The bubbly blonde starred as the eldest Tanner sister, Donna Jo, better known as D.J. The younger sister of Kirk Cameron, the ’90s teen heartthrob who starred in Growing Pains, Candace had acted in commercials, guest roles on Alice, St. Elsewhere and Who’s the Boss? and 1987’s Some Kind of Wonderful before scoring the role of D.J. at age 11. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Then You got it, dudes! The adorable Olsen twins were just six months old when they were cast to play the rambunctious youngest Tanner daughter, Michelle. The role made them instant child stars and during their Full House run, they also starred in The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley shorts and TV movies like To Grandmother’s House We Go, Double, Double Toil and Trouble and How the West Was Fun.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Now
The twins continue to star in movies together, including a slew before turning 18 like It Takes Two, Our Lips Are Sealed, Holiday in Rome and New York Minute. They also starred in two short-lived series, Two of a Kind and So Little Time. Although Mary-Kate took on a recurring role on Weeds and has reported a return to acting, aside from small roles here and there, both women have largely chosen to stay out of the Hollywood spotlight. After briefly attending NYU for college, the now 33-year-olds embarked on successful fashion careers, designing the lines Elizabeth and James and The Row. As for their personal lives, Ashley is dating artist Louis Eisner, while Mary-Kate and her husband, Olivier Sarkozy, split in May 2020 after five years of marriage.
