Stamos Refuses DWTS: 'Suffering and Looking Foolish'
9 Jul
Summary
- Stamos has consistently declined 'Dancing with the Stars' invitations.
- He believes the show's appeal lies in participants suffering.
- The actor cited foot injuries and embarrassment as reasons for refusal.

John Stamos has definitively stated his refusal to ever compete on 'Dancing with the Stars.' The actor shared on Bobby Bones' podcast that he has consistently turned down invitations to join the popular competition show. Stamos expressed that he does not wish to endure physical suffering or appear foolish, which he sees as central to the show's appeal.
Having been asked each season, Stamos made it clear to producers that he will not participate. He humorously recalled telling them, 'Don't ever ask me again.' Even attempts by podcast host Bobby Bones, a former 'DWTS' winner, to persuade him were unsuccessful. Stamos's stance has been consistent since at least 2010, when he publicly tweeted his refusal, stating he was not a dancer.
