John Stamosis telling his story.
TheFuller Housestar, 59, announced that he has penned a memoir to be released next fall. TitledIf You Would Have Told Me, the book will chart the star’s many years both in front of the camera and behind the scenes in his personal life.
Stamos, whose work has earned him critical acclaim and an Emmy nomination, will tell the tale of “a misunderstood heartthrob who has always remained a dorky kid from Orange County, and of his midlife quest to find sobriety and a family of his own,” according to a release.
Spanning his career fromGeneral HospitaltoER, roles on Broadway, touring with theBeach Boysand of course his iconic role as Uncle Jesse onFull House, the memoir will discuss all the highs and lows of a long career. In particular, the book will highlight his friendships, including his bond with late costarBob Saget.
Stamos shared, “If You Would Have Told Meis the book I never planned to write, but after losing Bob, finallybecoming a father, and wanting to honor all the colorful people who have made me who I am today, I figured if not now, when?”
The actor says the book will be his story about “Hollywood, fame, fortune and f—ups.”
“It’s also about home, heart, and healing,” he wrote. “Redemption then gratitude. Honestly, while writing this book I’ve realized I have about a million stories to tell, and I think you may like at least four hundred of them.”
Stamos says writing the book was cathartic, healing and sometimes heartbreaking.
“This book is something between a confession and a challenge to find grace in the smallest moments of our lives,” he continued. “I hope my memoir offers a window into my heart and mind and helps readers find little moments of magic that make life worth living. Get everything you want and live happily ever after, but have the humility to trust in something greater than yourself for guidance.”

Stamos continued, “Being able to share this memory with you, all of you here today, right now, is my new favorite memory, so thank you for that. Bob never left anything on the table. He always told you how much he loved you and how much he cared about you — he was bombastic with his love.”
He added, " So, lets make sure to tell the people that we care about how much we love them today, okay?"
