How rude!
“Full House” stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber have revealed that they once tried, and failed, to snag a selfie with Ryan Gosling during a charity event in June 2017.
The pair recalled the “awkward” encounter on Tuesday’s episode of their “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast while discussing Dolly Parton and other celebrities they are “obsessed” with.
“Remember I asked for a selfie, or I tried to get to him for a picture at the scleroderma benefit a million years ago?” Barber, who played next-door neighbor Kimmy Gibbler on “Full House,” said. “For you. I did this for you. And I got stopped by security!”
“Well, we knew each other,” Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom, added. “We met as kids and had stayed in contact.”
Sweetin, 43, and Gosling, 44, appeared on the Disney show “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” together in 1989.
“So I was like, ‘Oh, we’ll go get a picture,’” the Stephanie Tanner actress continued. “But there was no way to do it low-pro, and he had, like, a bazillion security there.”
Gosling was sitting with Tahj Mowry, who played the Tanner family’s friend Teddy on “Full House,” so Sweetin and Barber used that as their excuse to approach the “Barbie” star for a selfie.
“He was sitting by Teddy,” Sweetin continued. “So we went to go say ‘hi’ to Teddy, and then it just got awkward.”
“So awkward!” Barber, 48, added regarding their failed selfie attempt with Gosling.
“But I made it more awkward when I peeled out,” Sweetin continued. “I leave you guys – I’m like, ‘Bye!’ And I make a left because I’m like, ‘Oh my God. This is just – I don’t even know what’s happening. I need to get out of this uncomfortable situation.’”
“So I walked to the left only to realize – there is no exit there, and I have to go then walk back by – like an idiot – and find the exit!” she concluded. “I was like, ‘God, I can’t even make a smooth exit.’”
Sweetin and Barber starred in “Full House” for all eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. They reprised their roles as Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler for the show’s Netflix spinoff, “Fuller House,” from 2016 to 2020, along with Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos (Uncle Jesse), Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) and Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky), who did not join them for the final season due to her involvement in the college admissions scandal.
The duo launched their “How Rude, Tanneritos!” rewatch podcast in July 2023, and the episode this week came just days after Coulier, 65, appeared on the podcast to announce that he became a grandfather on the same day that he learned he was cancer-free.
“I got the good news the day the baby was born,” he said. “So I heard the news and I was so excited, and then Luc called us and he said, ‘Hey, the baby just was born.’ And so, I mean, it was an amazing day.”
“It was really amazing, you know?” Coulier added. “So we were like, ‘Oh, this is just too much!’”
Coulier was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in October 2024. He then announced that he was officially cancer-free on April 1.
