If You Would Have Told Me A Memoir By John Stamos (2023)

“If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dad’s fast-food joint that one day he’d be a household name and that, at the height of his success, he’d be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he might’ve asked, ‘You want fries with that?’”

From the foreword by Jamie Lee Curtis, If You Would Have Told Me is John Stamos’s deeply personal and revealing memoir. Stamos, who first gained fame on General Hospital, became a teen idol and went on to have a prolific career spanning over four decades. Known for his roles on Full House and ER, his Broadway performances, and as an honorary Beach Boy, Stamos defied the odds and remained relevant and beloved in Hollywood.

This memoir is more than a recount of fame; it’s a universal story about friendship, love, loss, and the courage to embrace love again. Stamos offers a brutally honest, funny, and poignant portrait of his journey from a young boy believing in Disney magic to a man who understands that magical moments are crafted by our own hands. Filled with anecdotes about some of Hollywood’s most memorable figures, this book is a testament to resilience and the power of self-creation.
