John Stamos Was by Coulier's Side Throughout His Illness
Coulier and Stamos are really close friends.
Coulier also said Stamos was by his side throughout the harrowing ordeal.
"He’s my brother," he said on Good Morning America in February. "He wore a bald cap, and when he came around the corner dressed like that, I dropped to the floor laughing. And he got COVID while he was staying with us. So we were like two fifth graders sitting in the hallway talking to each other with walkie-talkies."
The two men regularly appear on each other's social media pages, proving that they truly love spending time together and are the best of friends.
