John Stamos Is Happy To Be ‘Part of Something Positive’ That Shows Good Role Models & Heroes for Kids

Preschool parent John Stamos is heading to Disney Junior!

The Full House alum will be voicing Iron Man in Season 2 of Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends and Captain Salty Bones in Mickey Mouse Funhouse: Pirate Adventure. The latter was an exciting opportunity for the self-proclaimed "Disney guy."

“It was a trip for me to voice Captain Salty Bones because during the record sessions, they played back the other characters, and I’m talking to Mickey Mouse and Goofy—and sometimes I can’t even get through the line because I’m just so excited," Stamos told Parade.com. "I’m like, ‘Play that again. That’s me talking to Mickey Mouse, wow, Goofy, that’s cool!’ I mean, I’m a Disney guy and to be part of any sort of Disney production is amazing."

He added, "And even though this show is geared towards preschoolers or young kids like my son, I can still watch it with him and enjoy it and love it and that’s the magical thing that Disney does.”

The actor shares four-year-old son Billy with his wife Caitlin McHugh. While Stamos starred on family programs prior to becoming a parent himself, he now, as a father, understands why he's always been thanked for his shows.

"I've been on a lot of family television shows and shows for kids and I always have parents come [up to me], 'Thank you because my kid watches it.' 'Okay, great, great.' Now that I have a kid, I get it," the Big Shot star admitted in an exclusive featurette shared with Parade.com.

Stamos' latest projects on Disney Junior see him serve as a mentor to Spidey and play a pirate in a show that has "a real sense of adventure, confidence in yourself."

In the video featurette Stamos said, "If I can be part of something positive like this, show good role models, good heroes that kids can go, 'I wanna be like him,' then I'm happy."

Mickey Mouse Funhouse: Pirate Adventures premieres on Aug. 19, 2022, at 8 a.m. ET on Disney Channel and Disney Junior followed by Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends at 8:30 a.m. ET on Disney Channel and Disney Junior.
