The cast of "Full House" is weighing in with their thoughts on the sudden death of their
former co-star Bob Saget, and the messages are heartbreaking.
News broke on January 9 that actor and comedian Saget was found dead in a Florida hotel room,
according to TMZ.
No cause of death was immediately released.
The sudden death of the 65 year old came as a shock to Hollywood, and his fans, as the
comedian was in the middle of a stand-up tour across the United States when he passed away.
Saget's former "Full House" co-star, John Stamos, shared his devastated reaction to
the news on Twitter, writing,
"I am broken.
I am gutted.
I am in complete and utter shock.
I will never ever have another friend like him.
I love you so much Bobby."
Stamos and Saget worked together on the legendary ABC sitcom "Full House" from 1987 to 1995.
The show helped earn Saget a reputation as "America's Dad" as viewers watched Stamos'
Danny Tanner try and raise three daughters as a single father, with often awkward results.
"Cute?
You're supposed to say I look way too hot and can't leave the house dressed like this."
"I'm sorry honey, you look very – sexy."
The comedy series ran for eight seasons, 192 episodes, and brought in over 17 million viewers
in its peak in Season 5.
Following the news of Saget's death, actor Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget's teenage
daughter D.J.
Tanner, took to Twitter to share a tear-jerking message about her on-set dad from the 1990s.
In a tweet that left fans emotional, she wrote,
"I don't know what to say.
I have no words.
Bob was one of the best human beings I've ever known in my life.
I loved him so much."
Bure began working with Saget when she was just 11 years old, ending her time on "Full
House" at the age of 18.
Their father-daughter relationship served as one of the show's emotional pillars, with
audiences watching her grow up under the watchful eye of her on-screen dad.
Just a year before Saget's death, the two actors gushed over what it was like for them
working together, discussing their instant professional connection on the "Bob Saget's
Here For You" podcast.
"We came from the same place.
People might think I'm always 20,000 miles an hour, but not really.
You kind of grounded me."
During the conversation, Bure praised Saget as a human being and an actor, calling him
"one of the most emotional" and "sensitive people" she knows.
She credited that sensitivity with helping him be an exceptional performer.
"Your acting has always come from that.
It's always been so grounded and real, and you have always pulled from your heart strings."
Candace Cameron Bure's heartbreaking message about the loss of her TV dad Bob Saget didn't
end with just a tweet.
Following the news of Saget's death, Bure also shared an Instagram post in the famed
comic's memory, posting three intimate behind-the-scenes shots of the two together on set.
The actor captioned the post,
"I love you sooooo much.
I don’t want to say goodbye. 35 years wasn’t long enough."
Bure's memorial post wasn't the first time Saget had made an appearance on her social
media.
Ever-active on Instagram, Bure has posted several throwback photos with Saget over the
years, remembering their "Full House" days together and celebrating the sitcom's reboot,
"Fuller House."
In 2017, Bure reposted a sweet behind-the-scenes selfie Saget took with his on-screen daughter.
Tongue-in-cheek as ever, Saget captioned the pic,
"Love this girl since she was nine.
@CandaceCBure is now a beautiful woman.
And yet I haven't aged.
Life is beautiful."
Prior to the famous comic's death, Bob Saget and Candace Cameron Bure were known to get
emotional over one another as TV father and daughter.
When the cast appeared on "The View" in 2017 ahead of the season 3 premiere of "Fuller
House," it was revealed that Bure sometimes gets teary-eyed when talking about the beloved
actor.
Ever refusing to take things seriously, Saget couldn't resist the opportunity to respond
with a quick joke of his own.
"I cry every time I talk about her, 'cause I'm always cutting onions."
Saget always seemed to have strong emotions tied to his on-screen family.
When "Fuller House" came to an end, Saget admitted that he was as emotional on that
occasion as he was when the original series wrapped.
He told Us Weekly,
“I was crying all over the place.
It brought back a lot of memories for me.”
Bure confirmed her "Fuller House" dad got emotional, telling Us Weekly in 2019,
"I think Bob cried more than we did."
