John Stamos revealed the candid reason why he’ll “never” join “Dancing With the Stars” despite being asked “every single season.”
“What makes that show good is people suffering and looking like fools,” the “Full House” star shared on Tuesday’s episode of “The Bobbycast” podcast.
“They’re breaking their feet, calluses,” he told host Bobby Bones. “I don’t want that.”
Stamos, 62, shared that he gets a call about joining the star-studded cast “every single season,” but always turns down the opportunity.
“I said, ‘Don’t ever ask me again,’” he explained. “I’m never gonna do that show.”
Bones, who won Season 27 of the competition series with professional dance partner Sharna Burgess in 2018, attempted to change the actor’s mind, telling him he would “learn so much.”
Stamos, however, recalled how Bones, 46, competed alongside “Fuller House” alum Juan Pablo Di Pace, jokingly saying, “That guy won that year, and you shouldn’t have won.” (Di Pace came in fifth.)
“Oh my God, that was an upset. That kid, he got 10s all across and then some jackass came in and beat him. That’s you? Oh my God, I’m done with this podcast,” he quipped.
The “Grandfathered” alum further joked that the show was “rigged.”
Stamos first publicly declined an invite to compete on the ABC series in 2010, writing via X, “
“I’m not doing ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Flattered to be asked.”
“I’m not a dancer. I’d put my foot in my mouth faster than John Mayer,” he added, as People reported at the time.
The 2010 post was Stamos responding to an invitation by former “DWTS” pro Karina Smirnoff, who wanted to be his on-screen partner.
“He could be a great dancer,” she gushed.
While Stamos refuses to put on his dancing shoes, he’s previously performed on “DWTS” in a 2010 episode alongside The Beach Boys.
At the time, the group performed a medley of “California Girls,” “Kokomo” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” while a few pairs of dancers performed an accompanying routine.
