As a younger actress rising up in Hollywood, Candace Cameron Bure was sure to have her share of embarrassments.
In an unique interview with Fox Information Digital, the “Full House” alum, who starred as DJ Tanner for eight seasons, opened up about her first kiss with co-star Scott Curtis in entrance of a dwell studio viewers on the set of the ’90s present.
“I remember it was very embarrassing in that I knew my parents were standing off to the side watching it,” mentioned Bure, who kissed Curtis’s character, Kevin Gwin, on an episode titled “13 Candles” in 1990. “You have an audience of 200 people that are watching you do this. You have the camera people, the producers, the directors, the other actors on the stage.”
“I remember I was just blushing, thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m about to have my first kiss at 13 years old,’” she recalled. “Again, the act isn’t embarrassing, but it’s just when you’re a teenager, everything’s just embarrassing. But I remember when Scott was cast, he was so sweet. He was really cute, and we really enjoyed each other and working with each other. So I was like, OK, this will be good.”
Bure, who’s at present starring in a handful of movies for this 12 months’s Nice American Household Christmas lineup, together with, “A Christmas Less Traveled” and “Home Sweet Christmas,” mentioned the 2 by no means truly kissed throughout rehearsals.
“And then it was like once we had to actually tape the scene, we went in for that peck, and yeah, I think he was telling a story where we were giving each other breath spray. I think we were just trying to be as fun and funny about it as possible and relaxed and just break the nerves that we both had. And it was so very innocent.”
“But I think about it now, even as a parent and thinking of my kids at 13 years old and like, oh my goodness, it really is embarrassing to have your first kiss in front of hundreds of people live and then knowing millions of people are going to watch it,” she added.
Final month, throughout an look on “Full House” alums Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber’s podcast, “How Impolite, Tanneritos!“ Curtis detailed his first kiss with Bure.
“I was excited to get the audition, and they had said that I was going to be Candace’s first kiss,” he mentioned. “So, when I came in and did the table read with you guys first thing, I took this seriously. I knew that this was a big moment.”
“Of course, the rest of the week, you could feel the build-up happening,” he continued. “The night that we filmed it, we actually had to get it with the audience and then without the audience because [‘Full House’ creator] Jeff Franklin wanted one take of the audience going, ‘Woooh.’”
The second, mentioned Curtis, actually helped create a powerful friendship between the 2 younger actors.
“After the two episodes, Candace and I became friends,” he mentioned. “We were talking on the phone and giggling and laughing and having fun. I remember the last thing that she and I said to each other was, ‘We’ll see you at the wrap party.’”
Earlier this 12 months, Bure talked about her bond together with her “Full House” castmates, together with John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Sweetin, Barber and the late Bob Saget.
“We’re all close friends. We keep in contact, like, constantly. I always just get amused when [the media calls] them reunions because I’m like, ‘We’re literally family hanging out,’” she advised Fox Information Digital. “But sometimes we do that publicly.”
Nowadays, Bure, who turned the Nice American Household Channel’s chief inventive officer in 2022, is continuous her mission of making religion and family-based content material.
Her specialty? Christmas!
“Honestly, it has been 15 years of shooting Christmas content all year long, and so I’m so used to it,” mentioned Bure, who’s starring in a number of Christmas movies through the 4th annual Nice American Christmas franchise this season. “I feel like I’m synonymous with these Christmas movies. I really love making them. I have such a joy for Christmas and so it feels very natural at this point, 15 years in, to just be like, ‘Yeah, it’s Christmas 24/7.’”
“I really do love our lineup at Great American Family Channel,” she added. “They are heartwarming movies. You’ve got the prince and princess movies, you’ve got some really fun musical Christmas movies with songs. I mean, they’re fantastic. And then you’ll probably pull out the tissues for my movies.”
“So there’s quite the lineup, and I love all of the talent that we have, and I want people to be entertained,” she mentioned. “I want them to feel comforted and laugh and be joyful and whatever makes them feel good about watching these Christmas movies, we have one for everyone. So, whether you like to laugh or you want this song and dance, or you want the tears, we have them.”
