In April this year, Stamos spilled the beans on facing difficulty in working alongside the infants in the show. He shared on theGood Guyspodcast viaInsiderthat their persistent crying made things difficult for him.
Referring to the first episode where he and Coulier were changing the kid’s diaper in the kitchen, filming it was quite difficult as the twins were both crying.
“So, we’re carrying the baby downstairs and we take her in the kitchen, and we hose her down. And she was screaming. Both of them. They wanted to be anywhere else but there, and so did I.”
He was quite frustrated over their crying but the producer kept on switching the baby assuring him that they wouldn’t cry but it was futile.
He shared,
“They were 11 months old, and god bless them. They kept switching: ‘This one’s not gonna cry.’ I couldn’t deal with it. And I said, ‘This is not gonna work.’ And so they got rid of them.”
While another redheaded twins managed to replace them for a“few days,”theERactor brought the Olsen twins back. He ended up loving the twins as he revealed in his memoir that the duo nailed specific scenes.
“Mary-Kate is stronger in the emotional scenes, Ashley scores in the comedic ones.”
He even wrote about the MCU actress sharing that she once visited the set and quickly became his new favorite Olsen among the trio. Eventually, the Olsen twins starred in all eight seasons alongside the 60-year-old actor on the hit sitcom which went on to become their breakthrough role.
