John Stamos dragged for wearing bald cap in ‘solidarity’ with cancer-stricken Dave Coulier: ‘Shallow gesture’

John Stamos was called out for wearing a bald cap in “solidarity” with his “Full House” co-star Dave Coulier, who was diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of cancer.

Stamos took to Instagram to share a photo alongside Coulier, who was smiling with a freshly shaven head amid his battle with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

“Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro,” the “You” alum captioned the carousel on Monday.

Stamos, 61, applauded Coulier, 65, for taking on his cancer journey “with so much strength and positivity.”

“It’s inspiring,” the “Grandfathered” actor added. “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.”

While Stamos seemingly had good intentions behind the post, several fans questioned why he had to wear a bald cap to share his message.

“Seriously just couldn’t shave your head bro ?” one person commented.

“God bless Dave but is this really appropriate?” another added. “A bald cap is showing solidarity? You can just take your cap off and be ‘normal’ again. When people take this route they actually shave their head. I can’t help but feel that you’re using Dave’s diagnoses as a way to make yourself more likeable.”

“What a shallow gesture! Couldn’t even cut your hair off for your friend. And you made sure to post it on Instagram to get those likes too,” a third chimed in.

“Hate to be that person but this is more insulting by putting on a bald cap then not shaving ur head. A person with cancer doesn’t have a ‘cap’ they can take off,” a fourth wrote.

Stamos, however, received praise from other fans for being “supportive.”

“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,” one person wrote.

“Honestly, Dave, you wear bald really really nicely! Stay strong, we’re rooting for you!” another posted.

A third added, “John Stamos is such an inspiration during Dave’s fight with cancer.”

Last week, Dave announced he was diagnosed with cancer during an appearance on the “Today” show.

“[I was] feeling like I got punched in the stomach because it never happens to you,” he said. “You always hear about it happening to someone else.”

The “Fuller House” star recalled the first symptom appearing as a lump in his groin.
