Full House star John Stamos celebrated his 63rd birthday in a very modern way: by sharing a shirtless selfie to social media.

The Emmy-nominated actor, who played Uncle Jesse on the beloved family sitcom, did not share specific details about his birthday festivities. Still, the risqué Instagram he shared on August 19 gave fans something else to celebrate.

Posting shirtless photos has become a birthday tradition for Stamos, who also shared a similarly revealing shot on his 62nd birthday last year.

This isn’t the first time Stamos shared a revealing shirtless photo. In fact, it appears to be a new birthday tradition. On his 62nd birthday, he posted a rooftop shower photo in which he wore Calvin Klein briefs at the Bowery Hotel in New York City.

“A rooftop birthday shower in NYC to start the day, and the love of family and friends to carry me through,” he wrote. “At 62, I’ve learned the best things in life can’t be washed away…laughter, love, and gratitude. Thank you for every wish and every year. I don’t take a single drop for granted.”

Stamos says his wife, Caitlin McHugh, and his son, Billy Stamos, keep him feeling young.

The steamy 63rd birthday post came one day after he announced his sophomore book, Love From Above, set to release on April 20, 2027.

He co-authored the picture book with his 8-year-old son, Billy, whom he shares with his wife and fellow actor Caitlin McHugh. The book features Stamos’s original illustrations.

The actor published his first book, If You Would Have Told Me, in October 2023.

In the memoir, he reflected on his rise to teen idol status, his time on General Hospital, Full House, and ER, and his struggles with addiction.

“What started as a special family tradition became a story about love, loss, and the little signs that remind us that the people we care about are never really gone,” he wrote. “I hope this one brings a little comfort, wonder, and maybe a few hummingbirds your way.”
