John Stamos is spilling the tea on his journey away from the Church of Scientology. In a revealing chat on the "Friend in High Places" podcast, hosted by the always hilarious Matt Friend, Stamos dished out an intriguing story that sounds like it's straight out of a Hollywood script. Picture this: A young Stamos, fresh out of acting class and lured by the allure of a "hot girl," finds himself at a Scientology meeting instead of grabbing post-class drinks. All this unfolded while he was just a teen working at his dad's restaurant, dreaming big dreams.

"I was maybe 16, 17," Stamos shared, reminiscing about his youthful escapades. His curiosity wasn't just piqued by his classmate's invitation but also by his admiration for John Travolta—a prominent member of the church since the 70s and an icon in Stamos' eyes. "I wanted to be John Travolta, I still do," he confessed with a tone that mixed respect and nostalgia.

However, Stamos' flirtation with Scientology came to an abrupt halt before it could even really begin. Entering the Scientology building with visions of following in Travolta's footsteps, he found himself facing what's known as an "E-Meter," essentially two cans hooked up to measure spiritual distress. But rather than taking it seriously, Stamos decided to channel his inner comedic duo, pretending to be "Rocky and Bullwinkle" characters Peabody and Sherman on a fake phone call. The church was not amused. "They just kicked me out for messing around so much," he recounted with a chuckle.

Stamos first opened up about this chapter in his life in his 2023 memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," giving fans a glimpse into his complex journey through fame. More recently, during a June interview with USA TODAY’s The Essentials, the beloved "Full House" star shifted gears to talk about lighter summer fare—namely how he enjoys spending time with family and friends now that he’s been sober since 2015.

Gone are the raucous parties of yesteryears; today, it's all about making pizza in outdoor ovens and dodging water balloons tossed by giggling kids. Among them is Billy, Stamos' son and resident prankster who delights in ambushing him with a hose after work. “The joy he gets out of spraying his poor dad... I just love it,” Stamos said fondly.

From unexpected encounters with Scientology to cherished family moments that define summer for him now, John Stamos continues to share his life’s quirky anecdotes and heartfelt experiences with fans worldwide—proving once again why he remains one of Hollywood’s most endearing stars.
