Full House Star Bob Saget Jokingly Says He's 'Become Danny Tanner' amid Coronavirus Outbreak
Bob Saget is channeling his TV character amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The 63-year-old actor joked on Twitter and Instagram Saturday that he was showing similarities to his iconic Full House character by expertly cleaning his house to stay healthy.
“Oh. My. God. I spend my day cleaning and vacuuming and sanitizing everything in the house. I have become Danny Tanner,” Saget wrote.
As captured by Comments By Celebs, the star’s Full House costar and on-screen daughter Candace Cameron Bure left a message about the actor’s hilarious comparison.
“You spent years getting away from him and now you’ve finally embraced him. Welcome home dad 😘😜,” Bure, 43, wrote in the comments section.
“I never wanted to get away from him —I just had other sides that were confused as you well know. I love the guy – – and he loves DJ and all his girls. Ha. We need him more than ever right now. Who knew?” Saget responded.
