“Full House” star John Stamos will release his memoir “If You Would Have Told Me” in fall 2023 via the Henry Holt publishing house.
“‘If You Would Have Told Me’ is the story not only of a life lived in front of the camera, but of the surreal highs and devastating lows of a misunderstood heartthrob who has always remained a dorky kid from (California’s) Orange County, and of his midlife quest to find sobriety and a family of his own,” the announcement reads.
“If You Would Have Told Me” follows Stamos throughout his diverse career. From him becoming an overnight teen sensation on “General Hospital” to his time on the television drama “ER.” Off the small screen, he performed in numerous Broadway productions and toured with America’s favorite surf rock band the Beach Boys. But most probably still know him as Uncle Jesse on “Full House” where he met a lifelong friend in costar Bob Saget.
“‘If You Would Have Told Me’ is the book I never planned to write, but after losing Bob, finally becoming a father, and wanting to honor all the colorful people who have made me who I am today, I figured if not now, when? ‘If You Would Have Told Me’ is my story about Hollywood, fame, fortune, and f—ups,” Stamos explained.
He continued “Honestly, while writing this book I’ve realized I have about a million stories to tell, and I think you may like at least four hundred of them. It has been cathartic and healing and sometimes heartbreaking to dig in and reveal so much. This book is something between a confession and a challenge to find grace in the smallest moments of our lives. I hope my memoir offers a window into my heart and mind and helps readers find little moments of magic that make life worth living. Get everything you want and live happily ever after, but have the humility to trust in something greater than yourself for guidance.”
