John Stamos is recalling his last visit with Bob Saget. In an interview with , 58-year-old Stamos, reveals that he last saw Saget a month before his death, during a double date with their wives, Caitlin McHugh and Kelly Rizzo. Saget died in Orlando, Florida, on Jan.
9. He was 65.«The last time we were all together, we went on a double date to Nobu, maybe a month before he passed away,» Stamos says. «He didn’t look like a guy who was going to die, but he was very calm, which was odd for Bob.»«He was at peace somehow.
And he listened and he was thoughtful and didn’t interrupt; he cared about what we were saying,» he continues. «I hate to say it, but it was the Bob that I always wanted to see. And it was the last time I saw him.»The pair's more than 30-year friendship didn't immediately start when they began starring on together.
In fact, initially, their «styles completely clashed,» according to Stamos.«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?'» Stamos explains.
«I think we met in the middle. But we both went in kicking and screaming, not wanting to bend what we do.»Even when they weren't best friends, Stamos says, Saget «found a balance like nobody I’ve ever seen» and would «make up» for his on-set antics «with just as much love or more.»Their friendship was «really cemented» when Stamos' father, Bill, died in 1998.«He just stepped in and took care of me, even to the point of 'Can I host your dad’s funeral?'» Stamos says. «Two hours of dirty jokes that I think my dad would’ve liked. But he gave people what they needed at that moment.
