John Stamos recalls how his relationship with Bob Saget evolved from hateful to loving

The New York Times

Stamos recalls that at Saget's funeral, the late comedian and actor's ex-wife Sherri Kramer told him: “He loved you so much. He loved you so much. But in the beginning, he hated you...He would come home and he was so jealous of you. He would just complain about you so much.” Stamos admits the relationship with his former Full House co-star was contentious early on. "Our styles completely clashed," Stamos tells The New York Times. "He was a comic. If there was even one person on the set, he had to make them laugh. And I was, 'Where is the drama?' I think we met in the middle. But we both went in kicking and screaming, not wanting to bend what we do. He could be painfully distracting — disruptive — because you’re here, let’s get this scene, let’s find out what works, what doesn’t. And he’s like (punching the air as if for each joke), 'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.' I’d go, 'Bob.' He couldn’t stop it. I think, if I may say, that it could have been a detriment sometimes to him. But here’s the deal with him: He found a balance like nobody I’ve ever seen. He would make up for all of that with just as much love or more. I had so many people call me, saying what Bob meant to them and how he helped them. He was maniacally of service at all times."
