Actors virtually at all times want a stunt double, and Candace Cameron Bure proved this whereas recalling an almost deadly incident whereas engaged on the set of Fuller House. The 48-year-old actress sat down along with her former co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber for his or her podcast “How Rude, Tanneritos!” and defined how a zipper lining stunt went horribly awry.
While mentioning that her character, D.J. Tanner, wished to finish an American Ninja Warrior course in the lounge, Candace described how she “almost died.”
“I went through the course, and at the end, I zip lined diagonally the length of the living room, and then I landed on a platform,” Candace stated throughout the April 18 podcast episode. “But during rehearsal, the rig was not set up correctly, and there was no safety stop on the end of it.”
The authentic Full House forged member added, “When I landed off the zip line and stopped, the whole mechanism — which is all metal and very, very heavy — slid right off the track and came right next to my head within an inch. … If I just even shifted my weight the tiniest bit, it would have probably broken my neck and landed right on top of my head.”
As a outcome, Candace identified, “The stunt guy was fired. And [director] Mark [Cendrowski]’s like, ‘We’re not doing this stunt. Like, redo the whole set, because we’re not doing that stunt anymore.’”
Candace’s co-star Scott Weinger — who portrayed D.J.’s longtime love curiosity, Steve — witnessed the terrifying second and “couldn’t even get a word out because it happened within one second,” she defined.
Despite how “traumatic” the stunt incident was for her, Candace emphasised how a lot she liked engaged on the spinoff collection.
Fuller House got here to an finish in 2020 following 5 seasons. Since the present was profitable, followers have expressed curiosity in one other spinoff. However, authentic collection forged member Bob Saget died in 2022, leaving the destiny of the present unknown.
Last 12 months, Jodie, 42, completely revealed to Hollywood Life that one other Full House collection isn’t off the desk, however with out Bob, one other venture probably wouldn’t be the “same.”
“I would always leave that door open [to work on another show], but I will say that I think now without Bob — that’s been … on all of our minds is like, would it ever be the same without, without Danny Tanner?” Jodie advised Hollywood Life in December 2023. “So, we’ll see. But I will never say that I wouldn’t play Stephanie [again].”
