John Stamos is facing backlash after donning a bald cap as a tribute to his Full House co-star, Dave Coulier, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. “Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro,” Stamos wrote Tuesday on Instagram. He shared several photos of himself with Coulier, including one of him shaving Coulier’s head. While some fans were supportive, others questioned in the comment section why Stamos didn’t shave his head instead. “Is this really appropriate? A bald cap is showing solidarity?” One user commented. “You can just take your cap off and be ‘normal’ again.” Another commenter wrote, “hate to be that person but this is more insulting by putting on a bald cap then not shaving [your] head. A person with cancer doesn’t have a ‘cap’ they can take off.” Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone in Full House, is currently undergoing chemotherapy for stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a “very aggressive” cancer.
