John Stamos on ‘Big Shot’, fatherhood and Uncle Jesse’s legacy

In his new dramedy, the actor plays a disgraced basketball coach who gets ousted from the NCAA, and now has a chance for redemption at an elite private high school for girls

John Stamos calls his Indian trip from seven years ago a “very special” experience. “I went to Rishikesh where the Maharishi’s (Mahesh Yogi) Ashram is. I’d heard so many tales from when The Beatles met him, and my friends, The Beach Boys, told me all about their fascinating concert tour with him. But you know what, we couldn’t find the place! Still, it was an incredible trip and I loved the people there, who had great hearts and lived life to the fullest really.” “Of course, I had diarrhoea for about a week after the trip, but hey, I still have fond memories,” he adds, laughing. .
