Overview
- On Tuesday, July 7, Stamos told The Bobbycast that he has been asked to compete every season but has firmly refused and told producers, “Don’t ever ask me again.”
- Stamos said he won’t join because the show relies on intense training that causes injuries, broken feet and calluses, and because he dislikes contestants being made to look foolish.
- The actor also joked about the contested Season 27 outcome between Juan Pablo Di Pace and Bobby Bones while making clear his stance is final.
- Former DWTS pro Sharna Burgess pushed back publicly, defending contestants’ effort and calling Stamos’s comments upsetting because of her long involvement with the show and her past partnership with Bones.
- Stamos’s refusal builds on a long history with the franchise—he performed as a 2010 musical guest, has past personal ties to judge Carrie Ann Inaba, and says he is focused now on challenging acting roles such as The Hunting Wives.
