John Stamos is opening up about being labeled a playboy when he was younger.
The 60-year-old actor was given that label and at the time he felt like he had to keep up, but of course it had a lasting impact on him.
John is preparing to publish his new memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me,” and in a new excerpt, he reflects on the ways the playboy label affected him.
Read on to see what he said…
“I feel alone, but never alone. In a sober state, you would have the pride, morals, and values to avoid the proverbial low hanging fruit. But what fun is that? Besides, I have an image to defend. The ‘bon vivant’ character, the heartthrob, the womanizer with a revolving door in the bedroom,” John writes in his book, via People.
“I can’t go on my friend Howard Stern’s show without his mouth watering over the girls he thinks I slept with. Or Jimmy Kimmel, another friend, who never misses an opportunity to paint me as the ultimate playboy. And who could blame them? “I play at 100 percent,” he continued.
“It’s flattering. It is my solemn duty to maintain my status as “that guy” by keeping the dream of all those average guys alive, giving them someone to live vicariously with. Who cares if it’s at the expense of my own happiness? What I don’t understand is that every time I act out fantasy in real life, I’m giving away a small part of myself.”
“’Stop trying to charm the world,’ says my psychiatrist, Phil Stutz. ‘You’ve already done it. Show them that you are an actor; that you’re authentic,’” John said.
If you missed it, also in his memoir, John revealed that he was sexually abused as a child.
During a press stop, John recently shared that he hated his ex-wife while they were going through their divorce.
