Here's a story that's bound to tug at your heartstrings. John Stamos, the iconic TV dad we all grew up with, recently sat down with Busy Philipps on her show, Busy Tonight, for an honest and heartfelt chat. The conversation covered everything from his journey into fatherhood to honoring his late dad and even a surprising revelation about his classic sitcom, Full House. Let's dive in and see what this beloved actor has to say about his life today.

When it comes to being a dad, John Stamos is nothing short of enthusiastic. In the interview, he shared his excitement about becoming a father to Billy, his seven-month-old son. "I've waited a long time for this," John confessed. "I'm 55, but I feel like I'm 72 sometimes! Seriously, though, I'm so glad I waited. It's the perfect time in my life to focus all my energy on my wife, Caitlin, and our little bundle of joy. And let me tell you, parenthood has taught me to forget about myself because, after a while, you really do get tired of your own company. But hey, how do you even keep these little ones alive? It's a whole new ballgame!"

A Tribute to His Late Father

John's connection to his late father, William John Stamos, is deeply woven into his family life today. He revealed that naming his son Billy was a deliberate decision to honor his dad, who passed away in 1998. "Caitlin, my amazing wife, was incredibly gracious to let me name our son after my father," John said with a smile. "Yesterday was actually my dad's birthday, and it's been such a long time since he left us. But having his energy back in the house through Billy and being able to say his name every day—it's like bringing him back to life. This is truly the best time in my life, and I couldn't be happier."
