John Stamos<\/strong> was trying to take his work as a young soap opera star seriously one day when a disturbance on set caused him to lash out. “For the first time, I really lose it on set and yell out, ‘Will someone get that old woman out of my eyeline!'” he shared.<\/p>\n The Full House<\/strong><\/em> star recalled the moment in his new memoir If You Would Have Told Me<\/em>, out today. It harkens back to his big break on General Hospital<\/strong><\/em> as Blackie Parrish, a role which launched his career and scored him a Daytime Emmy nomination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As Stamos detailed in his book, per Hollywood Life<\/strong>, the infamous encounter with a screen legend happened while he was trying to film a scene and kept getting distracted by someone “putzing around in the distance.”<\/p>\n He said that while he tried to ignore what looked like someone trying to set up a director’s chair, he heard a popping sound and he lost it. Only he didn’t know exactly who it was right away that he lost it about.<\/p>\n He was quickly told that it was the one and only Elizabeth Taylor<\/strong>, who had come to the set to visit her friend Anthony Geary, who portrayed fan-favorite Luke Spencer. She’d previously appeared on the sudser herself as Helena Cassadine.<\/p>\n “There she is, in all her lavender-eyed glory, poised in a director\u2019s chair, sipping champagne,” Stamos recalled. It was, understandably, an absolutely mortifying moment for the young actor enjoying his first major role in the industry … and having just shouted at a living legend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I can\u2019t believe I lost my s–t in front of Elizabeth Taylor,” wrote Stamos. “My dad is going to kill me. I mute my tantrum, apologize profusely, make some excuse about calling her old, then slither back to the set and continue the scene. This time, I cry my eyes out.”<\/p>\n Stamos stayed with General Hospital<\/em> for two years before landing his first movie role in 1986. Just a year later, he would nab the role for which he’s most well known, as Jesse Katsopolis on ABC’s classic sitcom Full House<\/em>. He would later return to the role for sequel series Fuller House<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n While talking about the release of his new memoir, Stamos admitted that at one time he’d considered making his on-screen Full House<\/em> romance with Lori Loughlin<\/strong> real. With a longstanding friendship through their time together on the show, he admitted to InStyle<\/strong> a feeling he was on the “precipice of [it] turning romantic.”<\/p>\n it was around this same time that he met Rebecca Romijn<\/strong> at the 1994 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and suddenly he felt he needed to make a decision. Ultimately, he fell for Romijn, with the couple being wed in 1998 (they would divorce six years later).<\/p>\n As for Loughlin, she and Stamos have stayed close friends through the years, with him staunchly supporting her amid the recent college admissions scandal<\/p>\n John Stamos Says He 'Hated' Rebecca Romijn After Their 'Shattering' Divorce <\/h4>\n
