In the interview, John opened up about how he was angry that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen chose not to do Fuller House, the Netflix Full House reboot.
It probably hurt John especially because of how close John seemed to be with the twins on the show.
“Bob was very instrumental in keeping us together,” he shared.
“The twins moved to New York,” he said. “And I gotta tell you, one of the only good things to come out of Bob’s [death]. Well, Mary-Kate and Ashley, we didn’t see them much. I mean, we stayed in touch a little bit, but Bob really did. And they were so great.”
“You hear rumors, ‘Oh, they hated their childhood, or they hated being on the show or whatever,'” John continued. But the twins told John in person they actually loved doing the show.
“When I did Fuller House, they didn’t wanna come back. And I was angry for a minute,” he added. “And that got out.”
“But they were, like, ‘We loved you guys. We loved our childhood. We loved being with you. We miss Bob.’ They came over to my house. They brought a pork chop and sage. I don’t know why, but thank you. It was a frozen pork chop, so that was really nice. So we stayed very close.”
I’m so happy to hear they’re all still close and love each other.
