John Stamos angered fans with a photo of himself wearing a bald cap in support of his co-star's cancer diagnosis.

In a recent Instagram post, John Stamos showed his support for his friend and former co-star, Dave Coulier, who recently revealed his Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. The Full House actor sported a bald cap in the photo, sparking a wave of backlash from some fans.

Dave's diagnosis came as a shock to everyone, including John. He described it as a "gut punch" and immediately took to social media to publicly share his support for his friend. In his post, John revealed that he had even helped Dave shave his head, wearing the bald cap as a sign of solidarity.

He wrote, "Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro @dcoulier. You're handling this with so much strength and positivity – it's inspiring. I know you're going to get through this, and I'm proud to stand with you every step of the way. I love you."

However, not everyone was supportive of John's gesture. Some accused him of using Dave's cancer battle for a "photo op" and found the bald cap to be a shallow gesture. One fan commented, "Hate to be that person, but this is more insulting by putting on a bald cap than not shaving your head. A person with cancer doesn't have a 'cap' they can take off."

But others rushed to John's defense, praising his actions and their friendship. One fan wrote, "Aww, this is so cute. Also, to anyone in the comments – if Dave isn't offended by this, you shouldn't be either. And remember, John is an actor and may need his hair for his job. This should be a space filled with positivity and hope – take the negativity elsewhere."

John and Dave have been close friends for decades, ever since they starred together in the beloved sitcom Full House in the 80s. They have remained friends over the years and even reprised their roles in the Netflix revival, Fuller House, in 2016.

During an appearance on the Today Show, Dave opened up about his diagnosis, explaining that he noticed a golf ball-sized swelling in his groin after coming down with a cold. He received the news just a few weeks ago and has since undergone three surgeries, chemotherapy, and hair loss.

But Dave remains positive about his future, stating that his condition is "very treatable" with a 90% curability rate. He is expected to complete his treatment by February. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that occurs when white blood cells grow abnormally and can form growths throughout the body. Dave's specific subtype, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, has symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, abdominal pain, chest pain, and night sweats.
