John Stamos Opened Up About a Bully That Attacked Him in High School

After Being Bullied, John Stamos Dreamed of the Revenge He Would Get

Stamos can’t remember his bully’s name. But, the torment and physical attack are both still so fresh in his mind.

“I remember saying, ‘I gotta get famous. And that way, I’ll show him.’” Stamos continued, “So to this day each milestone in my career, I remember thinking, like, ’I’m gonna show him. I’m gonna get on TV, and then I’m gonna have bodyguards, and I’ll be playing with the Beach Boys. I’m gonna invite him to a concert. And in the middle of my drum solo, I’m gonna go, ‘Get ‘em, boys!’”

Stamos further explained the revenge he dreamed of. “And they would beat him up, and I would drive off into the limo and wave at him, and that would be that.“

“I wanted to dedicate the book to him,” Stamos said of his memoir. “I didn’t because the publishers wouldn’t let me … I was gonna call him ‘Small Weiner’ or something, because I can’t remember his name.“
