Beloved by fans the world over. John Stamos exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about his close relationship with Bob Saget — and how the late actor wasn’t aware of the full extent he impacted fans.“When he went, you know, like the tsunami of love that this guy received blew all of us away,” the Full House alum, 59, told Us about his late costar, who died in January at the age of 65. “It was the only time I’ve ever been jealous of him ‘cause it was like, wow.”Stamos believes, however, that Saget didn’t see the enormity of that love when he was alive. “But the bummer was, he didn’t know.

I don’t think he knew how loved he was,” the Big Shot actor told Us. “And I wish that you could sort of bring him back and sit him down and … you know, read everything, I’m sure he’s seeing everything. ‘Cause I can hear him complain sometimes if I’m very quiet from heaven.

He’s like, ‘What, why did you say that, John?’”The musician has long been candid about his friendship with the late comedian, whom the Saget family told Us in February died from “head trauma.”“[The authorities] have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep,” the family continued in the statement. (At the time of his death, the former America’s Funniest Home Videos host was staying at a Florida hotel while on tour.) “No drugs or alcohol were involved.”Stamos, who has frequently referred to his late Fuller House costar as a “brother,” also revealed to Us that he is using Saget’s legacy as inspiration for his Big Shot character, Marvyn, a high school basketball coach.“I wanted to sort of tap into what I felt about Bob and then Marvyn feels about his legacy.
